The upcoming game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is bringing players a gameplay experience completely different from what fan of previous games are normally used to. That leaves Pokémon TCG players and collectors wondering how they can celebrate this new game’s release in the TCG world. There are several Arceus themed products and events coming from the Pokemon Company during the first part of 2022, as Legends will be releasing January 28th. Something Pokemon card collectors have noticed recently is they have been reprinting a lot of past Sword & Shield packs. Usually it’s pretty hard to find Sword & Shield base set, Vivid Voltage, and others that came out more than a year ago, but it seems they’re now putting these packs back on shelves in massive waves. This could mean they’re planning on ending the Sword and Shield generation, or it could just be them putting more inventory on shelves for the Holidays. If they’re ending this generation of the TCG, that would mean the next expansion might be Legends: Arceus booster packs. This is just speculation, of course, but there are a lot more TCG products that are related to Legends: Arceus.
