Pokémon TCG Classic Announced, a Premium Trading Card Package Inspired by the Original Base Set

The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon TCG Classic, a premium Pokémon card product inspired by the original Base Set.

Announced during February's Pokémon Presents event, a swanky trailer showed off the new product including what appears to be a special game board and pieces that come alongside the new (old) cards.

The Pokémon Company didn't share much beyond this, but did say to "stay tuned for more information". As for when this will come, it sadly did not say.

The product description for Pokémon TCG Classic says that, with the exception of basic energy cards, cards that come in the set cannot be used in regulation tournament.

This suggests that Pokémon TCG Classic will be some sort of set product that comes with decks built from the original Base Set alongside a game board and pieces.

This is supported by The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara, who said it "is designed to be a premium Pokémon TCG set that will last a lifetime."
