As I develop the game, I make sure to take into account and respect all the different ways in which it can be enjoyed. In other words, the game’s developers have tried to weave fun into every stage of the TCG experience. Nagashima: There are many ways to enjoy the Pokémon TCG: opening a pack, appreciating the illustrations, collecting cards, building decks, using your deck to play against other people, and so on. Q: What kinds of things do you usually keep in mind when developing the Pokémon TCG? I believe that communication and attachment are two of the most important elements of the Pokémon TCG. In turn, the communication between players deepens their attachment to the cards. You can play with another person sitting in front of you, talking with you as you battle. Nagashima: The Pokémon TCG is an analog game that uses physical cards. Q: It’s wonderful that a game would evolve in such a way! The game has managed to evolve into a phenomenon that can bring different generations together. Moms and dads who have played in the past can explain the rules to their children, who in return can keep their parents up to date on the latest Pokémon news. And now, 25 years after the game’s inception, it has evolved into a multigenerational game that parents play together with their children.

Thanks to these cumulative efforts, fans still play with and collect cards to this day. We have cherished these fundamental aspects of the Pokémon TCG and have continued to challenge ourselves to constantly add new stimuli to the game without changing the basic rules. At first, several creators-including Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of The Pokémon Company-established the foundation of the game.
