“Cyber Judge” and “Wild Force” Set Names Trademarked for the TCG!
Two new trademarks have been filed by Pokemon: Cyber Judge (サイバージャッジ) and Wild Force (ワイルドフォース). They’re under the same terms as trademarks consistently used for set names in the past.
These sets sound like they will feature Paradox Pokemon, perhaps Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon. Both Pokemon are the “big bads” of the Paradox Pokemon. Each have the highest base stats of the Paradox Pokemon, are version exclusives, separated from the other Paradox Pokemon in the Pokedex, and they’re the highest level Pokemon both Professors use on their teams. They’re also based on Mega Evolutions: Mega Gardevoir & Mega Gallade and Mega Salamence.
We previously reported about the Ancient Roar and Future Flash sets, which we expect to release in the fall. Those sets could feature Walking Wake and Iron Leaves to tie-in to the first Scarlet & Violet DLC releasing in the fall.
We usually discover trademarks three to six months before they go into use. These should release in the fall.
