A quarter of a century ago rampant Pokemon burst onto our TV's, our games consoles and for many of us our hearts (heh, cute right). This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Pokemon and it could be argued that the Trading Card Game is as strong now as it was in the heights of Pokémania in the late 90s / early 00s. In Celebration of this a special Pokemon 25th Anniversary Collection called Celebrations is due to launch on October 8th, 2021. What better way to celebrate Pokémon’s 25th anniversary than with a TCG collection that highlights some of our favorite cards and mechanics throughout the series’ history. The Pokémon Trading Card Game: Celebrationscollection will start launching on October 8, with a variety of products being available. Bold indicates a main expansion. Italics indicate a special set. Releases that are entirely composed of prints from other releases are small. To me* it looks like the fonts on the old Celebrations cards is a bit different than the originals, like the “Pokemon Power: Energy Burn” text on Charizard. Perhaps new versions of Photoshop render the fonts differently?

However, Reshiram through Tapu Lele-GX are legal in Expanded because their original prints are still legal in that format. The Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Lance's Charizard V and Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Dark Sylveon V will be available on October 8, 2021, where Pokémon TCG products are sold.
