What does 'Pre-Release' mean on a Pokemon card?
A 'Pre-Release' stamp on a Pokemon card means it was given out during a special event before the official release of a card set. These events let players get a sneak peek at the new cards and even play with them in tournaments. Plus, these stamped cards often become collectible because they're a bit rarer than the regular versions.

'Pre-Release' on a Pokemon card pretty much means it's a special edition card released at pre-release tournaments. These cards can be more valuable to collectors for their uniqueness and rarity. Basically, it's like getting a sneak peek at a movie before the official release but in card form.
It's just a stamp for collectors to chase. Cool but doesn't change the game.
