	The '''Hall of Fame format''' (Japanese 殿堂, also known as '''Palace format''') is an officially-sanctioned format for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] events ~~helds~~ exclusively in Japan. It allows cards released from the {{TCG\|Diamond & Pearl}} [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions\|expansion]] ownards, allowing a greater number of expansions than the [[Standard format (TCG)\|Standard]] and {{TCG\|Expanded format}} but not being as unpredictable in card combinations as the {{TCG\|Unlimited format}}.

	While it has a low number of banned cards, the Hall of Fame format has an additional restriction as the Star system (or Hall points). Certain cards have a set number of 1 to 3 stars, and the sum of stars in a player's deck cannot exceed four. For example, a deck may contain a 1-star and a 3-star card in its list, or four copies of a 1-star card but no other limited cards. If a card in a Hall of Fame-legal expansion is a [[Reprinted card\|reprint]] of an older card, all prints of the card can be played in an Hall of Fame-legal expansion-legal deck (e.g. {{TCG\|Aquapolis}} {{TCG ID\|Aquapolis\|Energy Switch\|120}}). However, some cards significantly differ in wording between older prints and newer prints (e.g. {{TCG ID\|Aquapolis\|Pokémon Fan Club\|130}} from {{TCG\|Aquapolis}} compared to its {{TCG\|Ultra Prism}} iteration); those cards cannot be used in sanctioned tournaments. The exception is cards that have received errata (e.g. {{TCG\|Base Set}} {{TCG ID\|Base Set\|Potion\|94}}); all printings of cards with errata may be used in sanctioned tournaments.
