Attend to claim custom card crafts, free goodie bags, and limited-edition 30th Celebration TCG drops.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to Pokémon .

It doesn't matter how many collections and expansions hit the market.

I know the world will collectively lose its mind whenever anything new drops.

Nothing is changing anytime soon.

This is going to be big, so I want you to be prepared.
