Why Pokémon Cards Are Bigger Than Ever in 2025 — And Why Basement.nz Is NZ’s #1 Pokémon Destination

In 2025, the global resurgence of Pokémon Trading Cards is more powerful than ever. Whether you're a nostalgic collector, a serious investor, or just getting into the hobby, there’s no denying that Pokémon TCG has reclaimed the spotlight — and Basement.nz is proud to be leading the way in New Zealand.

The Pokémon TCG Resurgence: What’s Driving the Hype?

Pokémon has always been iconic, but 2025 has taken things to the next level. Several factors have caused a fresh surge in demand:

• Massive new releases from the Scarlet & Violet expansions, including 151, Prismatic Evolutions, and Surging Sparks

• A thriving collector community on TikTok and YouTube, driving hype with pack battles, PSA grading, and unboxings

• Increased demand for sealed products and vintage reprints

• The rise of Pokémon as a legit investment asset, with rare cards reaching record sales
