1996, no doubt! That's when the craze started and changed the playground trading games forever.

I disagree with everyone saying 1996 was the start. The real deal Pokemon fan knows it was 1999 when Pokemon cards really took off in the US. But yeah, technically, 1996 in Japan.

Got my hands on a first edition Charizard back in '96. Best day of my life. Those cards were the real deal, making 1996 the year to remember.
