While this may be old(2.5ish months), it's still worth pointing this out to fans of the original pokemon and to the disgusting genwunners

 

 Anyways, Pokebeach has revealed a lot of the cards, so check it out if you'd like. Besides some changes, the cards look essentially the same to the original Base set release. Hand drawn artwork, nostalgic layout, and a crapload of commons you'll probably store into a shoebox. note however, that the cards aren't 100% replicas of the original. Some moves, HP, and weakness/resistance may have possibly changed(not like anyone would really pay realize tbh).

 

it also includes Pokemon-EX(which are basically stronger versions of pokemon cards) in the original layout as well, which is pretty cool. here is an example:

 

Versus M-Charizard with the newer layout:

 

 

As someone who still casually collects Pokemon cards and loves every gen(except gen 2; dear god were they horrible), I'm glad to see this set. It'll be nice to open the packs and see cards from years ago. I'll probably save some packs for the future as well; preserve the nostalgia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Thanks to Pokebeach for revealing the information. All credit is to them only.

Just wanted to show people how some of the newer cards look like.

I don't remember how I got them, but I only have the original Pokemon prints so that's neat :p

I still have so many at home, but no Holographics left! Not sure what might have happened to them.
I might put some more up on kijiji and see if I can make a few dollars for some old cards.

This is the original Charizard card.

I have a fire deck with those in it. (Plus a few double energy) Wasn't ambishous enough to play anyone outside my family though.

I imagine the remake cards will have a newer date on them so as far as collectables go you should be ok. As far as playing them I guess they are the same. I have a bunch I need to sell. Been in the attic for like 17 years lol.
