[Water Pokémon Master]

More classic reprints have been revealed from the “Pokemon Trading Card Game Classic” Box Set!
As posted before, the product will release in late 2023 in English and in October 2023 in Japan.
The product will contain three 60-card decks headlined by Base Set Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. Each of the decks will contain new and reprinted cards. The cards will feature a unique holofoil pattern different from the one in Celebrations. All of the cards feature new numbering for this box set.

I think box sets meant to be standalone game experiences are a great idea, so something like this works as a cool nostalgia version of something like Battle Academy. Featuring the starters is an obvious choice, but it does raise some questions about the gameplay feel. Charizard hits Venusaur for weakness while being hit by Blastoise, so both matchups could end up imbalanced. Luckily, Blastoise is weak to Lightning rather than Grass, so I suspect that will be the "default" play experience.

I hope it is not going to be printed like the W-zards style.

The supporter Bill blows now just as much as he did then.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I hope it is not going to be printed like the W-zards style.

The W*zards element of this set is the price and availability, which is clearly geared towards scalpers and not people that want to genuinely play with these cards.

We literally just had reprints of the classic cards and a gen 1 set in PoGo and celebrations??? Would it kill them to do a nostalgia set for Aquapolis or a set we haven't seen a trillion times? So sick of these shitty ass boomer cards being printed

 

[KatyMontgomerie]

I'm def getting this when it comes out!

Aquapolis is just as boomer as Base set lol.

There's a card from Expedition up there and as recent as Lost Thunder.

Computer search will not be Ace Spec? Can anyone confirm that these cards are actually legal for play in standard?

Edit: Probably not. My bad..

 

[Nirvanna21]

Neato, can't wait to have one of these!

 

[Gibleguy]

Why is the card selection so all over the place?

 

[Tvoretz]

I still really wish these cards would put the set symbols in their traditional locations instead of trying to standardize them in spots the old card layouts can't actually accommodate.

Also, I'm taking that logoless Pokemon Nurse as confirmation that licensing issues are what kept the e-series cards out of Celebrations.

 

[PaisleyParks]

The non-new cards being reprints from the base/neo/ex eras and then for whatever reason the Onix from Lost Thunder lmao. Bro thinks he's on the team

If you watch the promo from February there is a Ponyta/Rapidash from Astral Radiance in it lol.

 

[Shining Goodra]

Scalpers galore, ho hum. This'll definitely get them too skip their monthly showers in order to get to all the retail stores on opening hour.

 

[gemjadem]

they better print this as much as that damn charizard UPC... i would like a chance to get this for under $500 lmao

The price of this product makes it geared towards collectors and not people who want to casually play with them, which is ironic because the product seems centered around playing with friends in a controlled meta.
