The set's four main theme decks were based on four different strategies (offensive, defensive, tactic and speed). Some of the more popular examples are Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and Pikachu. The set is one of the more well-rounded sets available, with a mixed amount of Pokémon of all types, and includes only Pokémon from the original 150. The set also contained Double Colorless Energy, the first special Energy card. It is one of few sets to include Fighting, Fire, Grass, Lightning, Psychic and Water Energy cards, now commonly known as basic Energy cards. It is the only set and expansion so far not to have a set logo or symbol (with the exception of the error 'no symbol' Jungle set cards). It was released in Japan on October 20, 1996, (one month after Bandai Pokemon Carddass 100 Pocket Monster Part 1 Green & Part 2 Red, September 1996), and in the United States on January 9, 1999. The Base Set, ( Japanese: 第1弾スターターパック & 第1弾拡張パック 1st Starter & Expansion Pack) is the name given to the original core release of cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Pokémon pack consists of 24 Base Set shadowless cards and an instruction manual. The 1998 Pokémon Demo Game Pack was the earliest Pokémon card pack to be produced and released in the English Pokémon TCG and served as the first introduction to Pokémon cards in the United States. When the series first launched in English in late 1998, Wizards of the Coast handled publishing.įirst Generation Sets 1998 Pokémon Demo Game Plastic Pack
