Hmmm, how a lot cash is that this going to make?
As we speak on the Pokemon Presents presentation, The Pokemon Firm revealed a brand new set for the buying and selling card sport referred to as “Pokemon Buying and selling Card Recreation Traditional.” Wow, this factor might be going to make a lot cash! The intent appears to be to recreate the appear and feel of the sport’s inaugural set, full with basic playing cards like Charizard and Professor Oak. A particular board-like area and tokens are additionally teased as a commemorative set of types.
Billed as a “premium set that can final a lifetime,” it is a three way partnership between Nendo, Creatures, and The Pokemon Firm. The Pokemon World Championship (held later this yr in Yokohama, Japan) will present additional particulars on the set. For now, we simply have the above teaser picture. This web site (which isn’t stay on the time of publication) can be going to offer some information when it’s prepared.
[Update: The Pokemon Classic landing site is good to go, and provides a ton of new info on what this release entails. Info on the aforementioned physical playset is as follows: “Pokemon Trading Card Game Classic features a foldable, portable two-player game board complete with card placement zones for your Active Pokemon, Benched Pokemon, deck, discard pile, and Prize cards. Since this board features a compartment at the center, it can also hold up to three decks and a toolbox featuring accessories you need for battling. Inside the toolbox, you’ll find stackable damage counters that clearly indicate how much damage a Pokémon has taken, three-dimensional Poison and Burn markers, and metal orbs that take the place of Pokémon coins. At the center of the toolbox, you’ll be able to roll these metal orbs down a small chute—if the orb lands in a white-bordered hole, it’s treated as heads, and if it lands in a black-bordered hole, it’s treated as tails. When playing with Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic, you’ll never need to scrounge for dice or coins.” Yeah that sounds neat.
Constructed decks for Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are all coming, with “newly printed cards” on top of classic choices. These decks are not legal in tournament play, The Pokemon Company notes explicitly (which is common in many reprint releases, including some Magic: The Gathering sets). Of course, it’s coming in “late 2023,” giving scalpers and bots plenty of room to pounce.]
