Original Pokemon Trading Card game to get anniversary re-release

The first series of Pokémon Trading Cards is set to get a re-release, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the series. The original set of trading cards will be released once again on the 27th of February, alongside the re-releases of Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow on the 3DS.

This information came directly from the Pokemon Trading Card team based in Japan. Unfortunately though, there is no word on a western release just yet. The entire set will contain 60 cards, along with a rubber game mat for 715 Yen.

Designs of the cards will remain identical to what they were back in 1996 when the game first launched. This is all part of a continued effort to mark the 20th anniversary of the franchise, a move that also included the launch of special edition pokemon 2DS systems.

KitGuru Says: The Pokemon trading card game was huge back when I was a kid, though I never really got in to it. Did any of you used to play it?

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

  1. I collected the cards when I was at school, but never actually played the game. Literally everyoneee was collecting them.

  2. me to, didn’t play them because they were mostly in japanese. think i’ve still got a bunch of legendaries from those original sets.

  3. I still have my collection, base set, base 2, team rocket, jungle, fossil, etc and all the original games too.. Elite-tier Pokemon nerd right here.
