About

The Black & White set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game marks a significant evolution in the franchise, introducing players to the Unova region and its diverse array of Pokémon. This set is notable for its focus on the themes of truth and ideals, embodied by the legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom, which represent opposing forces in the lore. Mechanically, the set introduced several new gameplay elements, including the Pokémon-EX cards, which featured powerful Pokémon with higher HP and the ability to deal more damage, but at the cost of giving up two Prize cards when defeated. Additionally, the set incorporated new Trainer cards and special energy types, enhancing strategic depth and encouraging players to explore innovative deck-building options. Overall, Black & White serves as a bridge between classic gameplay and new mechanics, inviting both veteran and novice players to experience the rich storytelling and competitive spirit of the Pokémon universe.
