Buy Pokémon Card Game Classic Australia: Box Contents
- 3 decks of 60 cards each
- 1 case that doubles as a playmat
- 3 flip deck cases
- 3 sets of deck sleeves, 64 per set
- 1 tool box
- 64 damage counters: 36 × 10, 18 × 50 and 10 × 100
- 2 Poison markers and 2 Burn markers
The Pokémon Classic box measures roughly 35 × 72 × 10 cm and weighs about 4.2 kg, so allow for a substantial piece when planning storage or display space.
Each player simply picks one of the three decks and starts, with sleeves, damage counters and Poison and Burn markers already in the box. The playmat-integrated case keeps the whole game together between sessions, which suits households where the box comes out for regular game nights.
Classic Artwork, Its Own Rules
The three decks reuse illustrations from cards in the first Japanese expansion pack of 1996, mixed with newly designed cards that include Pokémon ex. Classic runs on its own rules and carries no regulation marks, because it is meant to be played as a self-contained game rather than within the Standard or Expanded formats.
Tournament and language notes
Apart from basic Energy, cards from this set cannot be used in official tournaments. Think of it as a premium tabletop game for family nights, nostalgic collectors and friends who want a match without building decks first. As the Japanese Pokémon Card Game Classic, the cards carry Japanese text, and it is a separate release from the English Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic.
More Nostalgia
For another nod to the early days of the hobby, the Celebrations Ultra-Premium Collection includes metal Base Set Pikachu and Charizard cards.
