The Pokémon Trading Card Game will celebrate its 30th anniversary in October | Vídeo

Nice, Mar. 18 (EFE).- The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) has a strong presence in specialty retail, with dedicated stores that allocate a large portion of their space to these products. Within the franchise’s universe, the cards are one of its most prominent elements, with billions distributed across dozens of countries and a fan base that combines collecting and competition.

The cards have also become highly valuable collector’s items, with some fetching hundreds of thousands of dollars at auctions, particularly rare editions of Pikachu or Charizard.

The original titles of the franchise, released on Feb. 27, 1996, “Pokémon Red” and “Pokémon Green”, put players in the role of a young trainer from the Japanese region of Kanto, aiming to become the best and complete the Pokédex, which at the time featured 151 creatures.
