1996? Yep, that's the golden year when Pokémon TCG first hit the stores. October to be precise. So, if you've got any of those original gems, you're sitting on a piece of history!
Actually, the real magic started in 1998 when Pokémon cards made their way to the US. That's when the craze really took off. But yeah, Japan got the jump on us with their 1996 release.
Nah, it wasn't 1996... Just kidding, it totally was! October 1996 marked the debut of the Pokémon trading card game, setting off a global phenomenon that’s still going strong.
