'''Base Set''' is the name given to the first main expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as '''Expansion Pack''', the first expansion in the Pokémon Card Game. It is based on {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and {{game|Red and Green|s|Green}}, featuring [[Generation I]] Pokémon. The English expansion was released on January 9, 1999, while the Japanese expansion was released on October 20, 1996. Although not part of the TCG, Bandai Pokemon Cards Part 1 Green & Part 2 Red (September 1996) is regarded as pre-dating the Japanese Base set, and therefore is the oldest known Pokemon Card release.
