Pokémon TCG: Everything about the former Starter Deck Generations!

We have news! On November 22, 2024, in Japan, the product called Starter Deck Generations will be launched, where each deck symbolizes a generation of Pokémon, namely: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea. Each deck will feature a specific Pokémon chosen to represent it.

Promotional artwork for the product with the former “signature” Pokémon of each theme deck.

Another product that was also announced is the Special Battle Set, which contains decks from the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th generation of the franchise, costing in the range of ¥4650 yen, approximately 30 USD.

For us in the West, it is certain that the launch will take place in 2025, but, for now, there is no information whether these cards will be included in base sets as a final combination of one of them or whether they will be sold separately, like "theme decks". from the "ex Starters" line, which are currently being sold.
