Pokemon reveals new TCG Classics set

For some time, fans have been hoping for a nostalgic throwback to what many consider the "golden age" of the Pokemon Trading Card Game - and it looks like we're finally getting it.

The most recent Pokemon conference revealed a wealth of new details, including looks at Pokemon Sleep and the new Scarlet & Violet DLC. Most important for some is the brand-new set on the way from the Pokemon Trading Card Game - paying homage to the original base set.

What is the new Pokemon Trading Card Game set?

The Pokemon Presents trailer revealed that a new product from the TCG is on the way, featuring a special game board and two classic cards of a Charizard and Professor Oak.

There's no doubt that there will be more old-school cards based on the original 151 in the package. We don't know much about the package aside from that, but whatever lies in wait in the package, we're very keen indeed.

What can we expect from the Pokemon TCG Classic set?

There are two real ways to interpret the reveal of the Classic product without knowing anything about it right now - either it's a solo set, bringing back some classic card designs and a special fighting arena so that players can relive their childhoods - or it's something much bigger.

As of right now, it wouldn't be unfair to presume that this means a new subsection of the Pokemon Trading Card Game is on the way, with packs of classic cards coming to store shelves for players to pick up and experience all over again. Of course, we can't assure this, but the concept is something that we're very into.

This is a great sign that The Pokemon Company are paying great attention to what fans really want - and that's to satiate their nostalgia. And frankly, we wouldn't have it any other way. It's time for some good old new/oldness.
