“Battle Academy” Set Name Trademarked for the TCG, Plus Other Upcoming Releases!

[Water Pokémon Master]

Pokemon Japan has filed a new trademark for Battle Academy (バトルアカデミー). It’s under the same terms as trademarks consistently used for set names in the past.

Gen one games were red green and blue representing charizard venusaur and blastoise and gen 2 games were gold silver and crystal which represents ho-oh lugia and suicune so im pretty sure thats why they did it. To represent the classic era.
