Pokémon Web (Japanese: ポケモンカード★web Pokémon Card★web) is a Japanese-only release of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Cards were only available to buy online.

Trivia

• This was the first Pokémon TCG Expansion available exclusively online. Japanese visitors to Pokémon Center Online could purchase "packs" of 10 cards and have their cards sent to them. After their purchase, users had the opportunity to view which cards they had bought online.
• Pokémon Web contained reprints of cards featured in Base Set, Jungle, Fossil and Team Rocket, along with several Promotional cards.
• The cards were on the e-series card design, which likely added to their appeal. Rather than just producing a complete reprint, as Wizards of the Coast often does, MediaFactory brought old favorites into the new generation of the TCG. The set logo "Web" is in place of the "e" symbol as seen in future Expansions.
• The Expansion was seen as a novel idea, and it is arguable that the theme never really caught on. The theme would not be repeated until the release of the World Champions Pack in 2007. Advertised as a treat for Japanese players so they would not be at a disadvantage at Worlds 2007, it proved quite popular in respect to Pokémon Web. This is reminiscent of the commercial failure and success of the English sets Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection respectively.
• The cards Dark Ivysaur and Dark Venusaur, featured in this set eventually made their English appearence as Best of Game Promotional cards #6 and #7 respectively.
