All about the 'Pokemon 151 Set': A tribute to the origins of the game

On June 16, 2023, a new world of nostalgic joy opened with the release of the Japanese Pokémon set "Pokémon Card 151". This set promises to be the most outstanding set of the year, as it will make every retro fan's heart beat faster - only the first generation, the well-known 151 Pokémon, are included. This generation is the most popular, especially among Pokémon lovers, and art lovers will also be amazed by the impressive artwork.

This highly speculated set features over 165 exceptional cards, including some captivating ex cards and stunning Illustrator Rares. The 3 Star Pokémon (Bulsasam, Charmander and Squirtle) and their evolutions are presented in fascinatingly creative and colorful representations.

The impressive evolutions (Venusflor, Charizard and Blastoise) are also present as full art. After two decades, fans of Kadabra finally get a new, elaborately designed card of their favorite Pokémon.

Mewtwo and Mew also stand out and are included as Secret Rares with strong designs. Mew even has a gold version. Another Secret Rare shows the perfect combination of the 3 legendary bird Pokémon: Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.

Even the training cards are visually stunning and elaborately designed. The Giovanni Full Art and Illustrator Rare cards are remarkable, but the absolute top card is that of Erika, the Gym Leader, who also comes as Full Art and Illustrator Rare.

But the main set is also aesthetically pleasing and brings back a touch of nostalgia and childhood. This set is simply breathtaking and collectors' hearts will beat faster.

Another special feature are the valuable Masterball cards, of which there is only one per display box (in the Japanese version). In contrast to the normal Reverse Holos (with Pokéball), this Reverse Holo card has a Masterball depicted.

Conclusion: The Pokemon 151 set is a wonderful expansion of the Pokemon Trading Card Game that pays tribute to the origins of the franchise. With a selection of cards representing the original 151 Pokemon, it speaks to the hearts of fans. The special editions and the release of the set in Japan and beyond make it a must-have for collectors and players alike. Let's travel back in time together and rediscover the innocent fascination of the first Pokemon generation!
