Bandai

Everything Bandai in the Hidden Temple archive. Bandai Carddass cards are the first official Pokémon cards, dispensed from Japanese vending machines beginning September 1996, a month before the Pokémon Trading Card Game, each carrying watercolour artwork by Ken Sugimori. Alongside the cards, Bandai produced candy-packaged sticker sets. Pick a collection below.
