In the collectible card game of Pokémon, you can soon look forward to new expansions revolving around Scarlet and Violet. We at MeinMMO provide you with an exclusive first look at the preview cards.
Which cards are involved? One of the most popular Pokémon items across generations are the trading cards. These are not only meant to be collected, as their name suggests, but also provide a genuine gaming experience for fans of the little pocket monsters.
Now you can look forward to new booster packs, or expansions to the trading card game, centered around the main games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which were released in November 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. Pokémon announced in December that with the introduction of the new card set, they also plan to make some changes to the design (via pokemon.com).
We give you an exclusive first look at the new trading cards and the changed design in the following video:
