The Next Pokemon Trading Card Game Set Is All About The Original 151

After launching two sets themed after the most recent Pokemon games, the Pokemon Trading Card Game's next set will focus entirely on the first batch of pocket monsters to enter the franchise. The Pokemon Company announced the Pokemon TCG Scarlet And Violet - 151 expansion today, and it is scheduled to launch both in stores and on the Pokemon TCG Live app on September 22.

The set will feature all 151 Pokemon from the first generation of Pokemon games--Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Artwork for the card will depict the creatures in and around Paldea, which is the region from the newest games, Pokemon Scarlet And Violet.
