Neo Genesis is the first expansion in the Neo series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and marks the introduction of the second generation of Pokémon into the card game. The set was released in 2000 and ushered in a new era after the original Base, Jungle, and Fossil sets. For many collectors, Neo Genesis is an iconic vintage set due to the introduction of Johto Pokémon and the presence of some of the most coveted holo cards from the WOTC era.

What is the Neo Genesis set?

The Pokémon Neo Genesis set consists of 111 cards in the English release. The expansion introduces Pokémon from the Johto region, including starters like Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, as well as their evolutions. Neo Genesis combines nostalgic value with strong collectibility and is considered one of the most important vintage sets in the Pokémon TCG.

In addition to new Pokémon, Neo Genesis also introduced new mechanics to the card game, such as Pokémon with Baby rules. This made the set interesting not only for collectors but also for competitive players at the time. Today, the focus is mainly on the collectible value of the holographic cards and rare specimens.
