It has been revealed that “Pokémon Hanafuda” cards will go on sale from Movic. At the same time this announcement was made, the official site of the product opened.

The Pokémon series began with the big hits Red and Blue released in 1996 on Nintendo’s handheld game console Game Boy. Since then, every new game in the series has been released on one of Nintendo’s handheld game consoles and developed in collaboration with Nintendo.
