Pokémon
The Pokémon Trading Card Game began in Japan in 1996 and reached English-speaking players in 1999, turning Pokémon battles into a strategy game built around decks, Energy cards, and evolving Pokémon. Players build teams, use attacks and abilities, and collect Prize cards to win. Over the years, the game has introduced new generations, fresh mechanics, and memorable expansions, from early Wizards of the Coast sets to the newest Mega Evolution releases. For collectors, the appeal extends beyond gameplay to holographic cards, illustration rares, alternate artwork, and the excitement of completing a favorite set.
