Reloading the Pokemart Shelves – A Restock of Pokemon TCG Entry Level Products

Hey PI-Fans, With the release of the Silver Tempest set for Pokemon last week, we've seen an increased uptick in interest in the Pokemon Trading Card Game. With Ash Ketchum finally rocking up to the podium as Pokemon Champion after 25 years of experience in the field (a 10 year old with 25 years of on-the-job experience) and the upcoming launch of a new Pokemon video game, the fact remains that if a kid can become Pokemon Champion, anyone can play the card game, and with this wave of product, getting into this long-running card game is never easier with a series of starter decks, tiered to player experience. Of course, if you're just after Silver Tempest Boosters or the Elite Trainer Box, we've got those too, along with mini tin packs containing two boosters that are perfectly sized to ensure that a young one's cards travel safely. A glimmer [...]
