Original Pokemon trading cards getting 20-year anniversary re-release

The original set of officially licensed Pokemon trading cards are getting a re-release in celebration of its 20-year anniversary, (via Polygon). The set includes 60 cards, a player's manual and a coin. It's worth noting, however, that while other sites have been claiming the cards will be reprinted exactly as their originals, the official website claims the release will simply “revisit” the series’ original set. Japanese Pokemon fans will be able to purchase the cards on February 27. Currently, a Western release date has yet to be announced.
