I know re-prints have happened plenty of times but I also think full arts of the original base set holos would be a super cool idea. Keep the base form, but add whatever artistry they want around the Pokemon instead of just the blank holo.
Regardless of whatever they put out; Im more excited that the hobby has been around this long. Fun times ahead!
Pokémon will outlive us
I really hope they just do the regular size packs in English this time, I wasn’t a fan of opening Celebrations.
I really like fat Pikachu. Bring back Chonkychu!
i would LOVE an 8-bit pikachu card for this anniversary, or even a whole pixel-themed set
I am all in for Starmie.
(Rest of the ideas sound quite nice too. ![]()
A complete TCG set with the original sprites of blue and red would be amazing, like you said @lemonofpromise. But likely won’t happen.

Correct for English (TPCi), this was revealed in November

‘96 Corocoro Pikachu promo about to skyrocket.
Just reprint every base jungle fossil card in hand drawn full art form

bring back chonkychu😭
I love that scorpion bat. Absolutely not been done his dues. This art would go wild for me. Most of his arts seem rather “safe”.
I have Been totally a fan of Gliscor since Ash vs Paul back in sinnoh leauge. Such a shame it does not have a SIR cuz the Pokémon have huge Potential and Imagine If mitsuhiro arita or
Shinji Kanda illustrared it then it would be something out of the ordinary
I cannot wait to be unable to buy any product online or in retail stores!
Agreed. Right now I only collect Base, Jungle, and Fossil cards individually, but I also opened some 151 when it was available. The only packs I want to rip now are the 30th anniversary Japanese packs and I have a feeling it’s going to be impossible to get them in the US for a decent price.
Since I never open packs, I might have to pay scalper prices for a box. ![]()
Depends on what the set, likely the trademarked Celebration Collection, will be. If it’s like 25th Anniversary Collection, it could be 30 cards featuring a range of Pokémon and/or Trainers that best illustrates 30 years of Pokémon. A set like that will be abundant because its singles will be ultra cheap
I imagine that this time, with a globalised card design, the set will be identical across all languages
The 25th Anniversary set was impossible to obtain in stores and online every vendor had a 1 per customer. And the new set will also contain a Charizard (probably just Base Set reprint) a Pikachu (probably a Full Art) and I am betting on Moonbreon or at least any of the big ones from the Eevee set.
It will be scalped, it won’t be out there.
