With over 30 years since its initial release in 1996, the Pokemon franchise has many devoted fans that have been following the series since childhood. With new games coming out frequently and the next main series titles Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announced for release in late 2022, many Pokemon fans have been expressing their nostalgia for earlier titles in the series, such as Pokemon Red and Blue.

Pokemon-themed trading card sets still see regular release, with some old cards, particularly those featuring first generation Pokemon, becoming valuable collector's items that can sell for a high price.
