NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2026 / PikaMagik, the education-first Pokémon platform built for families and the next generation of fans, today announced a strategic partnership with KoreID, a verified identity solution developed by KoreInside, to establish a new benchmark for trust, safety, and transparency in digital experiences.
This partnership marks a first-of-its-kind initiative in the Pokémon ecosystem, bringing verified identity, trust, and safety infrastructure to a consumer-focused platform.
Building Trust at the Core of the Experience
PikaMagik was founded on a simple principle: trust must come before commerce.
Through its integration with KoreID, PikaMagik ensures that:
- All account holders are verified individuals who have passed comprehensive KYC (Know Your Customer), ID verification, and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks
- Only adults (18+) are permitted to create accounts
- No minors are ever required to create accounts
- The platform remains 100% free to access, with no tracking of users
This approach creates a safe, transparent environment where families can engage with confidence and clarity.
A First in Consumer Platforms
KoreID has traditionally been used in private capital markets, where identity verification, compliance, and trust are critical. By bringing this infrastructure into PikaMagik, the partnership establishes a new precedent for how trust can be implemented in everyday digital platforms.
"This partnership is foundational to everything we are building," said Oscar A. Jofre III, Co-Founder & CEO of PikaMagik. "Trust is not a feature; it's the standard. By integrating KoreID, we are setting a new precedent for what a safe and responsible online experience should look like, especially for families and the next generation."
Extending Verified Identity Beyond Regulated Markets
The collaboration also represents a broader vision for KoreID-expanding beyond regulated financial environments into consumer applications where trust and identity still matter deeply.
"KoreID was originally created to operate within the private capital markets, where verification and compliance are essential," said Dr. Kiran Garimella, Chief Scientist & CTO at KoreInside. "However, individuals should have the freedom to use a verified identity in non-regulated environments as well-allowing them to be recognized as trusted, verified users wherever they engage online."
Redefining the Online Experience for Families
With this partnership, PikaMagik is reinforcing its commitment to:
- Creating a safe environment for families and young fans
- Eliminating anonymous and unverified interactions
- Building long-term trust through transparency and accountability
At a time when digital platforms are increasingly scrutinized for safety and data practices, PikaMagik is taking a clear stance:
Trust, privacy, and safety are non-negotiable.
