The original 151 Pokemon remain the most recognizable and iconic all these years later, and The Pokemon Company knows it. That’s why the team is bringing them back as part of the upcoming Pokemon TCG Scarlet and Violet: 151 Expansion. With over 160 Pokemon Trading Cards to collect, including all the original Pokemon from the Kanto region, this set is sure to be popular when it launches this Friday, September 22.
Pokemon TCG 151 Expansion highlights
Preorders for select products in the 151 expansion are still available at major retailers. Here's a closer look at them all. Keep in mind that these have gone in and out of stock since they were first available in June, so you'll want to get your orders in.

I might be about to make an embarrassing confession here, but based on the other kids with a shared interest in the Pokemon TCG when I was at school in the late '90s, I don't think I'm alone.

I was only interested in filling my folder with rare and shiny cards. If only something like My First Battle had been around to lend me and my friends a helping hand back then.
