Pokémon Is Officially Redesigning Pikachu After 30 Years

Pikachu has appeared on enough trading cards to fill multiple binders of its own, but Pokémon’s 30th anniversary calls for something beyond another familiar pose. The mascot is getting 30 different rare cards in the upcoming Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration expansion, each offering a new take on the Electric-type. Two of those designs put Pikachu in an especially striking light.
