Classic (Japanese: クラシック Expansion Pack) is the name given to the original core release of cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It began in Japan on October 20, 1996, and in the United States on January 9, 1999.

While this expansion officially introduced the TCG to the United States in January 1999, many stores were initially reluctant to sell the game. As a result, it did not see a widespread release until March or April of that year.

The classic set was replaced by Base Set 2 on its release, as by that point Base Set had been out of print for some time. Several final form Pokémon were left out of this set despite their pre-evolved forms appearing - Butterfree, Clefable, Dodrio, Dragonite, Gengar, Hypno, Pidgeot, Rapidash, Sandslash and Weezing. These cards were later released in Jungle and Fossil. [1]
