Hi!!! Welcome to the PokeLab2000 card section! I have a lot of info on Pokemon cards! There's four sets of cards in the US, and 13 in Japan, including the popular Promotional set. If you are just starting collecting the cards, well here's what it's about. Pokemon cards are cards of Pokemon that have 1-2 attacks and/or Pokemon powers. Basically, you take one or two card types (choose from Water, Psychic, Colorless, Grass, Lightning, Fire or Fighting) and get about 20 cards form those types, 10 trainers (special cards that do ceratin stuff) and 30 energies to power up your Pokemon's attacks, and take your 60-card deck to fight agaoinst other decks like that. The rules are complicated, buy a starter set or theme deck for the complete rules. There are three types of rarity, signaled by a symbol in the bottom right corner of the card. Here's how to tell:
Circle: Common, 7 per US booster
Diamond: Uncommon, 3 per US booster
Star: Rare, 1 per US booster, include holofoils and non-holofoils. Approximately 1 holofoil rare per 3 US boosters.
In Japan, for cards which will likely be soon released in the US, there's a fourth and fifth:
White Star: Ultra Rare, none yet existing in English.
White Diamond: Ultra Uncommon, none yet existing in English.
Did I mention, Pokemon cards have been recently released in French, German and other places in Europe? The four sets currently availible in English are Base, the first released, Jungle, an expansion with all-new card, Fossil, the second expansion, and Promo, promotional cards availible by going to Pokemon Movies, going to the TCG leage, etc. My fav US card, and the favorite of others too, is Base Charizard, the most powerful in my opinion with 120 HP (only Chansey is tied) and can do 100 damage (only Base Zapdos, Fossil Magneton and Fossil Golem can do that much. With three heads in a coin flip, Jungle Vileplume can do 120, but gets Confused). He's also by far the rarest. 5 Base boosters out of 103 will have one. I must say, I'm lucky to have one. I traded my Venusaur and Dugtrio, both Base extras of mine, for Charizard! I ripped that guy ff. I'm building a killer Fire/Fighting deck called Wildfire. Once, a kid traded me the rare Imposter Professor Oak, for my common Weedle!!!. The fourth extension (Promo isn't an expansion, they're Promotionals), Rocket, is due here in Janurary 2000, and a revised editon of Base is due in Spring 2000. I don't know what's meant by revised, but I think it means little diffrences, like HP and attacks, like Base and Jungle Pikachu. With the new Fossil set released in the US, all 150 Pokemon are cards, including two Pikachus, Zapdos', Magneton, Electrode and Magmar. In Japan, it was all 152, because when they brought Fossil here, they took out my favorite, #151, Mew!!! After recovering from the shock of hearing that, I got my first Fossil booster.
