Players can collect even more cards thanks to the promo cards, which are available for a limited time through events. The booster focused on thePokemon TCG Pocketpromotional cardsis called Promo-A, and includes nine volumes. The latest volume was released at the Ultra Beasts drop event and gave players the chance to grab a variety of cards, including an Ultra Necrozma ex. Showing great creativity, aPokemon TCG Pocketfan came up with an idea that would make this feature even better.
On thePokemon TCG Pocketsubreddit, user Ok-Pie-3581 shared a concept for promotional cards inspired by the Base Set. The mockup alludes to the 30th anniversary of thePokemonfranchise, which will occur in 2026. They feature a digital version of theiconicPokemon TCGexpansionpacks with Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise on the covers, achieving an impressive result. Another image shows what the cards up for grabs would look like, with players adding Clefairy, Alakazam, Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard promo cards to their collections, all with the same artwork as the physical version.
The Base Set’s Important Place in Pokemon Trading Card Game History
While fans today are familiar with famousPokemon TCGexpansions such as Evolving Skies, 151, and Team Up, it all started with the Base Set. Released in 1999, this is the first expansion to ever hit shelves with 102 cards featuringGen 1 Pokemonand Gym Leaders. Some of these cards have become highly coveted by players, with the ones this fan used in their mockup being among the most expensive in the expansion. The priciest of all is Charizard Holo, which,according to PokeData, a raw copy coming from the first edition of the Base Set can cost an incredible $4,950.
Some Redditors liked the idea, with one saying they would return toplayingPokemon TCG Pocketif such a booster pack was released, while other players were not very excited because they got “tired of Kanto.” The developers have not yet shown any plans to introduce promo cards inspired by the Base Set. However, sincePokemon TCG Pockethas numerous cards inspired by the physical versions, players wait to see if this kind of set could become a reality in future updates.
