A new Pokémon series inspired by the Trading Card Game is in development!

One of the fondest memories of my childhood is, without a doubt, playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game (with real cards and the GameBoy version). This was something that only hardcore Pokémon fans would get into because everybody else was either playing with Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh cards. If you also got the TCG game, you probably remember how fun and addictive it was. Years later, the addiction will finally pay off. Why? Turns out that The Pokémon Company International just announced a brand-new series about the popular TCG.

The Pokémon Company International shared the initial development of a new unscripted series involving the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and the opening of a casting call for fans of all ages and interests in the best-selling TCG. Casting for the series will focus on fans in the Los Angeles, California area, and those interested in applying can visit the casting agency website.

Additional details about the upcoming series will be announced sometime soon.

Barry Sams, vice president of The Pokémon TCG at The Pokémon Company International stated: “The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been a cornerstone of the Pokémon brand since it was introduced more than 25 years ago and at the center of its success is its fans. From dedicated competitors in the Play! Pokémon program and casual players battling after school with friends and family to collectors or general enthusiasts, we’re looking forward to spotlighting the stories of our diverse TCG fans. Anyone in the Los Angeles area with a Pokémon TCG story to tell is encouraged to apply.”

Did you know that tens of billions of Pokémon TCG cards have been shipped globally since the game launched 25 years ago? The game has undoubtedly gone a long way ever since. The most recent expansion, Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield Astral Radiance, launched in May of 2022, and the next, Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Lost Origin, launches on September 9, 2022. Fans have also enjoyed the Pokémon TCG: Pokémon GO expansion which launched on July 1, 2022, based on the massively popular Pokémon GO mobile game.
