Against the backdrop of growing excitement in the competitive scene and collection market, the Pokémon Card Game is attracting renewed attention not only from the children's generation but also from parents who used to play it. On the other hand, many people feel, "I'm interested, but I don't know where to start," or "Card shops feel a bit intimidating."
This event is a teaching event for beginners, aimed at such parents, children, and novice players.
On the day of the event, staff with official Pokémon Card Game event organizer qualifications will support participants with how to play and basic rules. The event will proceed with explanations of the rules while actually playing matches, so even participants who have never touched a card can gradually learn how to play. In addition, rental decks will be available for those who do not have their own decks, so you can participate empty-handed.
In the latter half of the event, deck consultations and free battles are also planned. We have prepared a time where parents and children can enjoy battles together, and participants can show each other their cards, allowing them to experience the Pokémon Card Game. Furthermore, participants are scheduled to receive promo packs.
cardéria (Carderia) is based on the concept of "Card Community Café ~Making the future of trading cards more comfortable and enjoyable~". While creating a space where people can drop by like a cafe, with a wood-grain interior and spacious play areas, it also hosts competitive events such as BOX scramble battles. During Golden Week, on May 4, parent-child events such as "Pokéca Base Camp Lv2" are also planned, promoting store operations where a wide range of people, including parents, children, and beginners, can experience card games.
This event is also part of that effort, held as an event where parents and children can spread out cards together and experience the fun of the Pokémon Card Game itself, beyond just winning or losing battles. Moving forward, we will continue to create an environment where a wide range of customers can enjoy card games, as a store where card games can be enjoyed more casually.
