Pokémon Trading Card Game

The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) is a collectible card game that originated in Japan, developed by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. It is managed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese company responsible for overseeing the Pokémon franchise. The TCG has been produced in multiple countries, including Japan, the United States, and others, to meet global demand. The game has experienced a resurgence in popularity, with a significant increase in professional grading and high-value transactions, such as the record $5.28 million sale of a Pikachu Illustrator card. This resurgence is driven by nostalgia and a new generation of collectors. (axios.com)
