Pokémon TCG Japan Limits Orders Of Today's Pokémon Card 152 Drop

Pokémon TCG Japan officially limits orders of today's Pokémon Card 152 release, making it print-to-order with a limit of one per customer.

The latest Pokémon TCG expansion has been released in Japan. The set, titled Pokémon Card 151, is an expansion based on the original 151 Pokémon introduced in the Kanto region. This expansion is set to be quite popular so Pokémon has decided to release the set on a print-to-order program, allowing a single box per customer to start.

Pokémon Card 151 is notable in that it will be the first time we have seen a new Kadabra card in 21 years. Kadabra has been absent from the Pokémon TCG ever since magician Uri Geller sued the company for Kadabra's design, which he felt was inspired by his spoon-bending technique. Just three years ago, Geller withdrew his complaint and publicly apologized to Pokémon fans for the limits that had been placed on the use of Kadabra due to this highly popularized lawsuit. Outside of the return of Kadabra, this expansion is interesting in that it will be in Pokédex order, where normal sets are ordered by type first and foremost. This set will be adapted this fall as the first special set of the Scarlet & Violet era for English-language collectors, but as of now, there is no way to tell what changes will be made to the as-of-yet untitled Pokémon Card 151 adaption in the States.
