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. Meanwhile, high-quality footage of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire shared by an official Japanese Pokémon account has sparked speculation about potential Nintendo Switch ports of the games. Additionally, a Pikachu plush spent 67 days in space as part of a collaboration between the Pokémon Company and the European Space Agency, and the upcoming Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Delta Reign expansion has been previewed with several new card reveals ahead of its release on November. Pokémon scalpers are also expressing dissatisfaction with the franchise's 30th Anniversary set, citing that the set has made rare cards easier to find, thereby reducing their potential profits.
