First edition Pokemon cards hit the scene in 1996. It was a magical time when we all tried to catch 'em all in card form. They were part of the Base Set, which has some of the most iconic and valuable cards today!

Everyone's saying 1996, but let's not forget, that's for the Japanese release. Us folks in the US had to wait till '99 to get our hands on those treasures. Just adding a bit of clarity!
