Warning: The following trailer may be too epic for some viewers.
The Pokémon Trading Card Game is about to leap into a new generation with Sword & Shield, an upcoming expansion for the game which unsurprisingly ties into the upcoming video games.
You can get a first look at some of the cards set to be included in the new expansion in the trailer above - and while we're talking about the trailer, how incredibly over-the-top was that? Consider our hype levels to be irreversibly through the roof.

The new set introduces Pokémon V, powerful new cards that will apparently play an important role in players’ strategies going forward. Both Zacian V and Zamazenta V - the two legendary stars of the upcoming video games - will be available in the expansion, and more details are expected to be announced "soon".
The announcement comes from the 2019 Pokémon World Championships, an event which also gave us a tasty dollop of new info on Pokémon Sword and Shield's Battle Stadium, new abilities, and more.

Do you play the Pokémon TCG? Or are you perhaps a dedicated collector? Let us know in the comments below.

I used to collect pokemon cards but I have stopped unfortuanately. I need that money for switch games now lol
Those should be the box art for the games
Ohhhh, so that’s where all the v cards go...
@ImagineerNik I agree
@Jojabean44
If you like playing it then the Pokemon TCG app might be something you'll like.
@ImagineerNik 100% agree. I wanted to comment the same thing.
@Xaessya i just like collecting them but thanks for the suggestion
Because ex, EX, M EX, Lv. X, GX, GX Ultra Beast, GX Team Up, Break, Prime, etc. weren’t enough
That art does look amazing though
@ItalianBaptist This. Granted, I stopped playing and collecting because "Legendary Collection" made reverse holofoils of every card, but I DEFINITELY would have stopped playing on the first hint of this gimmick, power creep nonsense.
Victini would have been the perfect pic for the card to show off the power of v
At least with the TCG, you can actually get all of the Pokémon they’ve previously released.
The Pokémon TCG was terrific, but now everything is awfully unbalanced and the game became silly.
@Euler Only if you don't go by the official tournament rulings and such. Older sets get cycled out of play now and then, with a lot of Pokemon not yet having been included in newer ones before they're cut.
@Euler Not in tournament play you can't.
@Jojabean44 I love the cards but I don't have them anymore.cool if you gkt a collection of rare cards though but the game side I never even tried. Card game
I played last weekend and the guy I played had a bunch of GX cards, and the new Mew Mewtwo Tag Team, I never even got a hit in
@AndyRogan
I hope this is the end of the broken tagteam cards.
@Tsurii
It's for android too, just not available on phones anymore.
@Tsurii There's also a PC version. That's what I play.
@Jojabean44 you can also make money off pokemon cards cause ive seen the extremely rare cards like the rainbow ones can sell around 10K if their in mint condition.
@LowRyder Fair point. Then again, official Pokemon video game tournaments typically don't allow all of the Pokemon either (even when they feature intact games).
They found out that by not adding an X to the name, they can save ink.
So that's where the National Dex went... 😒
I haven't kept up with the TCG for years, but I would get back into it if they'd release a port of TCGO for the Switch and allow us to buy digital card packs like Hearthstone does.
I thought the box art legends were "meh ok" until i saw this art. They really should put this art on the covers cause shiny gold metal bits on them looks 1000000000000000000x better than the bland washed out yellow they have on the current covers
Pretty sure anyone playing pokemon cards already has a V-Card.
Bahahaha!! V-cards? Really? XD
