	The '''Standard format''' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]~~, formerly called "Modified,"~~ is one of two formats used for officially-sanctioned [[Play!

	The Standard format (then referred to as the Modified format) was introduced in 2001. Tournaments in the 2001-2002 season were played in a format that only allowed cards from the {{TCG\|Team Rocket}} set on up through {{TCG\|Neo Genesis}} (with the exception of {{TCG ID\|Neo Genesis\|Sneasel\|25}}, which was banned). Since then, [[Play! Pokémon]] has continued to rotate out sets once per year, usually after the [[World Championships]], to keep the game fresh and, some speculate, to keep players buying cards. The 2009-2010 tournament season did not feature a rotation, and the rotation for the 2010-2011 season rotated out only four sets, keeping roughly two years' worth of cards in the pool. Additional expansions are added to the current {{TCG\|Rotation}} three weeks after they are released in the United States.
