It has been announced that the TFG (Trading Figure Game) is being discontinued. An the administrator of PokeBeach known as the "Water Pokemon Master" had contacted the head of Pokemon Organized Play, Dave Schwimmer, who confirmed this:

The planned expansion for the TFG, Groundbreakers, will not be coming out because of this.
To be honest, I kind of expected this as a possibility to happen. TFG's are hard to have work, especially if you're known for TCG. Yu-Gi-Oh! tried to do it wit Dungeon Dice Monsters but that too eventually got shoved away. So sadly, Pokemon's TFG was going to follow suit. However I am going to miss the little figures of the Pokemon, they looked quite cool (if not fragile).
