The special promo Pikachu card should look to be an enticing offer for fans of the franchise. Pokemon has often offered special promo cards for its annual tournaments, typically featuring artwork and backgrounds based on the location of that year's Pokemon World Championships. The Pokemon Trading Card Game has also typically given out promos for a variety of its special in-person events, including the elusive "Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat" available through an event at the Van Gogh Museum.
Pokemon TCG fans should have lots to look forward to throughout the year, with The Pokemon Company already teasing its next major expansion. "Mega Evolution" will kick off the newest era of the Pokemon Trading Card Game at the end of next month, officially welcoming the return of Mega Pokemon to the TCG. The game has already shown off several exciting full art cards from the set, including fan-favorite Pokemon like Venusaur, Gardevoir, and Lucario among others. The Pokemon TCG looks to maintain its early momentum this year with plenty more on the way.
