Halifax store gears up for huge Pokémon card game anniversary
A Halifax store is gearing up for a special card game anniversary in what is set to be a massive day for Pokémon fans.
Evolution Games, on King Edward Street, is expecting customers to queue outside ahead of its opening tomorrow (Wednesday) on what will be the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon trading card game.
To celebrate the anniversary, the Japanese media franchise is releasing a special set of cards which will “reignite” some of the old artwork, and bring in some new artwork too.
Gus Hall, director of the Halifax store, said the cards will be “quite desirable” and expects stock to sell out “pretty quickly.”
Mr Hall said the anniversary set is “probably the biggest release in well over the last decade.”
Mr Hall said there are a lot of Pokémon fans in the area, but also sees customers from around the country and internationally, including from Australia and South Africa.
