The Pokémon Trading Card Game has also been popular for more than 10 years. As a worldwide leader in the trading card game industry, The Pokémon Company International continues to support the game's many devoted fans with new card expansions, as well as an Organized Play program that provides opportunities for players to share their joy of the game in both casual and competitive environments. In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, players build decks around their favorite Pokémon and then play against each other, sending their Pokémon into battle to prove who the best Pokémon Trainer is. Players can begin with theme decks-pre-constructed decks designed to cover the basics of the game. Then, they can augment their card collections with booster packs that provide more cards, letting players develop more diverse decks. With thousands of cards to choose from, the game is never the same twice. The Pokémon Company International releases four sets of cards, called "expansions," each year, so the game continues to evolve and expand for both players and collectors.
