I heard you just need to buy a ton of cards and start selling them out of your car trunk. Easy.
Becoming a Pokemon card retailer isn't just about loving the game, it's a business! First, you gotta get in touch with a distributor that has Pokemon TCG products. Companies like Alliance Game Distributors, GTS Distribution, or Southern Hobby Supply might be a good start. You'll need a business license cause, surprise, it's an actual business. Make sure you got a physical or online store, as most distributors won't sell to you otherwise. Sometimes, joining a professional organization related to toys or games can also help your credibility and get you those sweet, sweet distributor connections.
It's all about who you know and making sure you have the proper business setup. Don't bother if you're not serious about it; it takes more than just a love for Pikachu to make it work.
