This year is momentous for the Pokémon franchise: it’s been 25 years since the original games were first released in Japan! To mark this anniversary, The Pokémon Company has been releasing different pieces of media, from exclusive music, to new games, even fashion deals. Now, it has been announced that we will see a special commemorative expansion in Celebrations, releasing October 8, 2021.
Every new booster pack will feature four “uniquely designed cards” featuring foil treatments and the 25th-anniversary logo, with Pokémon from every region. The big news is that we’ll be getting a subset of 25 cards that are “close remakes” of iconic cards, such as Base Set Charizard, Umbreon ☆, and Tapu Lele-GX.
The full Celebrations lineup is below, and the company did note that recently discovered Pokémon (that is, ones first released to the TCG in recent years) will get releases combined with previous TCG sets, such as Light Pokémon, Delta Species (δ) Pokémon, and Pokémon Star.
