So, was the speculation across collectors was in fact wrong ? Latest articles in the Pokemon world are currently stating Shining Fates being released in Feb 2021 will not be the 25th anniversary set. The reason for this conclusion is based on several new products being listed with "25th" in the placeholder names according to PokeBeach.
We at Alpha Toys are not so sure. We still think Shining Fates is still a commemorative set and it will be absolutely huge. Let's have a look why.
Let's go back in time to the 20th anniversary of Pokemon. Two key sets were released in 2016 of which there has been some debate between collectors as to which really was the anniversary set. Well, to clear it all up quickly for you....
Generations was released on February 22nd 2016 - This was the set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the whole Pokemon franchise
XY Evolutions was released on 2nd November 2016 - This was to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokemon TCG franchise.
So there you have it! Shining Fates will be the Pokemon set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the whole Pokemon franchise, whilst later on in the year we'll see a new set released to celebrate a whole 25 years of Pokemon TCG.
