ADV & PCG Comparison

Hello!

I was wondering if someone could share with me a picture of a couple cards from both the ADV and PCG era side-by-side so I can see if the card layouts/formats are similar enough to mix up in a binder. (Japanese please)

Thanks in advance!

they’re the same

not 100% sure why there is the split in jp, but in english, ADV would be the cards that still have the bulky e-reader style bottom, while PCG would be the uniform border style

I was also trying to figure out why they’re in two separate “eras” in Japanese. I use cardmarket to look at setlists, which is why I wasn’t 100% sure

TPC used to set separate series for video game remakes prior to BW, so we had PCG for FRLG and Legend for HGSS.
