The Pokemon TCG has been popular for almost 30 years

With the success of the video games, the 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 Trading Card Game (or TCG for short) was created in 1996.

They are a collectable card game where fans battle it out using their Pokemon on the cards to "fight".

Collectors swap, buy and sell cards, and each has a different monetary value depending on how rare the card is, the character on them, the age of the card and the condition it is in.

There are even 笔辞办茅尘辞苍 card tournaments where players compete to win big prizes, and there is even a world championship tournament.

Since they were first introduced, 30 billion cards have been printed.
