Classic Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise Pokémon cards return in fancy new TCG package

A new release from The Pokémon Company called Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic will bring back classic cards from the Pokémon TCG, including the base set of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. The forthcoming product, which pairs a stylish game board with preconstructed decks, was announced by The Pokémon Company as part of a Pokémon Presents stream on Monday.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company, Creatures Inc., and Tokyo-based design firm nendo. This product includes everything needed to start the TCG. It also contains a mat, three decks and three fully-constructed decks. The foldable board contains all sorts of bells and whistles — like weighted conical damage counters — with the intention to deliver a “polished and elevated battling experience.”

Notably, Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic will bring back classic cards with the original art, including the base set Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. Newer cards such as Lugia ex and Ho-Oh ex are included, along with retro cards. Except for Basic Energy cards and the other cards that can be used to play in tournaments, all the cards are not allowed.

The game board has a sleek, black-and-white color scheme and contains spots for active and benched Pokémon, a card deck, discard pile, and prize cards. There are enough space to hold up to 3 decks. Both the challenger and player will find enough accessories.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic is scheduled to be released in select markets in North America in late 2023. The Pokémon Company says it will be released in English only.
