Starting October 16th, Japan’s Pokemon Centers will release a collection of nine Pokemon TCG binders themed after each generation, featuring numbered card slots for every Pokemon from #001 to #1025, according to product announcements reported by Water Pokémon Master.
Release Details and Pricing for Regional Binders
The collection spans nine distinct regional binders priced at 2,420 yen each. Product listings cover Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Hisui, Unova, Kalos, Alola (including Meltan and Melmetal), Galar, and Paldea. Each item comes equipped with 10 double-sided card pages displaying that specific generation’s Pokedex numbers on both sides, accompanied by TCG Energy symbols in the top right corner.
Design elements vary by generation. Every binder sports a glittery finish with Starter Pokemon silhouettes on the front, their evolutions on the back, and Legendary Pokemon featured prominently on the spine. Inside, collectors will find index sheets outlining all creatures native to that region. Kanto’s version, for instance, provides nine numbered card pages spanning #001 to #151 alongside a blank tenth page.
Refill Packs and Customization Options
Collectors seeking to expand their storage can purchase matching refill packs for 700 yen each. Water Pokémon Master reports that each refill pack contains a dedicated title page for the chosen generation paired with 10 blank card pages.
Community Reception and Collecting Concerns
Community members on the TCG forums have raised practical questions regarding the long-term viability of the new line. Forum user Asrialys questioned whether upcoming expansions might necessitate a tenth binder or additional page sets in the near future. Meanwhile, user KingFidough expressed reservations about the use of ring binder mechanisms in the product design.
Did you know? The inclusion of #001 through #1025 accounts for every official species cataloged from the Kanto region up through the Paldea region.
