Synthesized 1 hr from 43 stories across the Pokémon news web.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special set release, featuring over 140 cards themed around celebration and day and night, as well as a 30 card Classic Collection and a 3 card RGB set. The Pokémon Pokopia game is also set to receive new content with the upcoming Expansion Pass Part 2, which will introduce accessories for Pokémon. Additionally, recent events have sparked speculation about potential Nintendo Switch ports of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and a Pikachu plush has completed a 67-day space mission as part of a collaboration between the Pokémon Company and the European Space Agency. The 30th Anniversary set has been met with frustration from Pokémon card scalpers, who find the set less profitable due to easier-to-find rare cards.
