Neo Genesis (Japanese: Neo 1) was the 8th expansion set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was the first expansion to feature Generation II Pokémon of Johto.

Set size

The symbol for Neo Genesis is a double star.

Neo Genesis marked the first complete set to contain some of the new Johto Pokémon found in Pokémon Gold and Silver, although a handful of others had been released prior as promotional cards. Along with this release came two new card types; Darkness and Metal.
Other new cards added were Baby Pokémon and Poké Tools, which were Trainer Card items that could be permanently attatched to Pokémon in play - referring to Generation II's new feature that allowed trainers to equip their Pokémon with held items.
There was a 9 card promo set released in Japan before Neo 1 was released featuring the Johto Starter Pokémon and their evolutions. For the American release, Wizards of the Coast added the 9 promo cards and 6 Energy Cards to the set, increasing it to 111 cards.
Some collectors mistook the expansion's double star symbol as an indication of high rarity.
