Neo Genesis

Neo Genesis is the first set in the Neo series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released on December 16, 2000. This set introduced 111 new cards and was the first to contain Pokémon from the second generation (Johto region). With the addition of Darkness- and Metal-type Pokémon, Baby Pokémon, and revamped game mechanics, this set brought a fresh dynamic to the TCG. Neo Genesis was also known for some misprinted cards and varying print quality, which made the set extra interesting for collectors.
