Pokemon TCG is showing love to under-represented mainline hero The Pokemon CompanyThe Pokemon TCG is bringing back cards owned by specific trainers in a future set, and fans are shocked to see the long-awaited arrival of one of the strongest protagonists in the series. The Owner\u2019s Pokemon mechanic was first introduced in Gym Heroes, the sixth TCG set. These are Pokemon cards with a trainer\u2019s name in the title, such as Brock\u2019s Geodude, and were considered distinct from other regular creatures. For example, a Graveler couldn\u2019t evolve from Brock\u2019s Geodude, but Brock\u2019s Graveler could. At the 2024 Pokemon World Championships, it was revealed that Owner\u2019s Pokemon are returning in 2025, via a trailer that can be seen on the franchise\u2019s official YouTube channel. Fans on the Pokemon TCG Reddit were shocked to see a certain face in the video, as Ethan from the Gen 2 game is coming to the TCG. \u201cGold\/Ethan! Finally, my boy is getting some love!\u201d one user exclaimed, while another said, \u201cHell yeah! Glad to see Ethan in there too; hopeful for some other generation trainers.\u201d Another user wrote, \u201cI hope we get Iono\u2019s Mismagius. I wonder what cards we will get for Ethan?\u201d Despite being the protagonist of Pokemon Gold & Silver and the male option in their remakes and Pokemon Crystal, Ethan has never appeared in the Pokemon TCG. The closest we got was the Copycat dressing like him on her card. Based on the trailer, it seems like one of the upcoming Owner\u2019s Pokemon cards will be Ethan\u2019s Pichu, as he was seen with the Gen 2 Baby \u2018mon. Hopefully, he\u2019ll get something beefier on his squad, like one of the Johto Legendary Birds or Celebi. It\u2019s been a long time coming, but Ethan will finally become part of the TCG. Despite being in some of the most beloved entries in the series and defeating the mighty Red in battle, Ethan is often overlooked compared to his Gen 1 counterpart, and it\u2019s way past time that he\u2019s shown love in the card game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
