1996! That's when the Pokemon TCG officially launched. Hard to believe it's been that long and we're all still here, trying to catch 'em all!
Actually, it was 1996. Crazy how time flies when you're collecting 'em all.
Everyone's saying 1996, but let's not forget it launched in Japan first. It took a bit before the rest of the world got in on the action.
