Pokemon Trading Cards

The Pokémon Trading Card Game was developed in Japan, based on the 1996 Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow Game Boy video game by Nintendo.[3] It was first published in October 1996 by Media Factory in Japan.[4] In the US, it was first published by Wizards of the Coast, towards the end of 1998 to capitalize on the US popularity of Pokémon.[3] Over the next five years, Wizards of the Coast published more than a dozen expansion sets for the game, allowing the company to sell millions of cards and earn more revenue from Pokémon than they had from Magic: The Gathering in its first 10 years.[3] Hasbro bought Wizards of the Coast in September 1999 for $325 million dollars based on the strength of the Pokémon license.[3] In 2001, Nintendo created its affiliate Pokémon USA, Inc., so that it could recover the US licensing rights to the game.[3] In June 2003, Nintendo transferred the publishing rights from Wizards of the Coast to The Pokémon Company.[5] Wizards sued Nintendo on October 1, 2003 and accused the company of poaching employees and violating its patent; the lawsuit was settled out of court.[3]
