The first Pokemon cards made their grand entry into our world in October 1996. They landed in Japan first, courtesy of a collab between Nintendo and Media Factory, before taking the rest of the globe by storm. It's been a whirlwind of trading and battling ever since!

1996, the year that changed playground dynamics forever. October to be exact. That's when the first set of Pokemon cards hit the shelves in Japan, making recess the prime time for trades and battles.

Actually, it's not just about the cards; it's about the memories and friendships made. I remember getting my first pack in '96 and the excitement of discovering each card. Magical times!

'96. Japan. That's it. That's the tweet.

Think of it this way: Pokemon cards are like fine wine; they just get better with age. The first batch came out in Japan in 1996, and collectors today still hunt for those original gems.
