View source for Hall of Fame format (TCG)

The '''Hall of Fame format''' or '''Palace format''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|殿堂|でんどう}}''') is an officially-sanctioned format for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] events held exclusively in Japan. It allows cards released from the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions|expansion]] ownards, allowing a greater number of expansions than the [[Standard format (TCG)|Standard]] and {{TCG|Expanded format}} but not being as unpredictable in card combinations as the {{TCG|Unlimited format}}.

While it has a low number of banned cards, the Hall of Fame format has an additional restriction as the Star system (or Hall points). Certain cards have a set number of 1 to 4 stars, and the sum of stars in a player's deck cannot exceed four. For example, a deck may contain a 1-star and a 3-star card in its list, or four copies of a 1-star card but no other limited cards. If a card in a Hall of Fame-legal expansion is a [[Reprinted card|reprint]] of an older card, all prints of the card can be played in an Hall of Fame-legal expansion-legal deck (e.g. {{TCG|Aquapolis}} {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Energy Switch|120}}).  However, some cards significantly differ in wording between older prints and newer prints (e.g. {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Pokémon Fan Club|130}} from {{TCG|Aquapolis}} compared to its {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} iteration); those cards cannot be used in sanctioned tournaments. The exception is cards that have received errata (e.g. {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Potion|94}}); all printings of cards with errata may be used in sanctioned tournaments.

[[The Pokémon Company]] requires players to play with cards printed in their region's official language; therefore, only Japanese cards can be played in the format. 

==Card restrictions==
Each card has a star rating. The vast majority of cards have 0 stars. Several cards have 1 to 4 stars, but as of 2024, there are no cards with 4 stars. Some cards are banned.
