Pokémon Breaks New Ground at GAMA

Go-Pokemon.com reports from the GAMA Trade Show

The 2008 Game Manufacturers Association Trade Show is now underway in Las Vegas, Nevada, and  Pokémon USA, Inc., is treating show attendees to the hottest news about both the Pokémon TCG and the Pokémon TFG.

The GAMA Trade Show is the game industry's biggest and longest-running trade event. For a game fanatic, wandering through the exhibition hall at GAMA is like walking through a wonderland of endless possibilities. At every turn there is a new title to test drive, with a staff of smiling booth attendees ready to demo the game at your beck and call. Pure bliss!

Go-Pokemon.com is bravely navigating the showroom floor, meandering through mazes of exhibitions to bring you the latest Pokémon TCG and TFG news. We are excited to see that Pokémon TFG: Groundbreakers is playable in the booth and that a launch date of fall 2008 has been officially announced. The booth also has figures from the expansion that follows Groundbreakers on display, and we’re thrilled to share a first look at these figures with Pokémon fans today.

Confirmed figures from the third set include favorite Pokémon such as Flareon, Snorlax, Gyarados, and Tyranitar. These figures and more are on display at the show throughout the week. More information about this expansion will be released at a later date.

Also on display is the latest expansion for the Pokémon TCG, Diamond & Pearl—Great Encounters. The expansion features more than 100 cards, including new Pokémon LV.X and the Pitch-Black Pokémon Darkrai.

In case you're thinking about hopping a plane to Las Vegas to check out GAMA for yourself, we should warn you that the show is open only to members of the game industry. But don't worry—there are plenty of great Pokémon games coming very soon!
