In 1996, the first Pokémon trading card game was released in Japan: a spin-off for a video game, Pokémon Monsters Green and Pokémon Monsters Red. An iconic first title, it spawned a franchise that is now impossible to ignore.
The card game was based on the little monsters of the video game, and featured a combat system based on a type's strengths and weaknesses. Nearly thirty years later, these collectible playing cards are still as popular as ever: they're even about to get a second lease of life with a new digital game.
At Pokémon Presents, broadcast on February 27, 2024, Game Freaks unveiled a new game for IOS and Android, available from October 30, 2024. The Pokémon Pocket Trading Card Game is a free digital version of the legendary game.
