<p>Earlier this month, we <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/detective_pikachu_is_getting_a_special_mini_collection_of_pokemon_trading_cards">shared the news</a> that a special set of Pokémon cards had been announced to tie in with the upcoming <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/video_the_pokemon_detective_pikachu_movies_first_official_trailer_has_landed">Detective Pikachu movie</a>. Now, we can have our first look at what these cards, and even their packaging, will look like.</p>
<p>Firstly, in the image above, you can see exactly how the cards featuring Detective Pikachu, Charizard GX, and Greninja GX will look. We have to say, the “realistic” visual style actually suits the card format really nicely.</p>
<p>That’s not all, though, as we also have images of three ‘Case File’ sets for each of those three characters and a special Collector Chest. You can check them out for yourself below, as well as a description of all the goodies you’ll find in each one a little further down.</p>
