Pokemon Card Language Library

@linkdu83, The proofreading and verifying the information is what I’m looking to get help on. If you’d like to add things as well, that would be great. There will be a lot of holes that need to be filled in eventually.

If you guys ever want permission to edit the documents, just let me know and I will add you. You won’t be locked into a commitment or anything :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, my plan is to post this to forums such as Cartaspokemon.es or Pokecardex.fr to get more in depth information added. People who are more familiar with cards in their own language would greatly improve the accuracy of the info these documents contain.

This project is going to take some time, but the goal is to give people a place to go to when they want to look for somethign in another language. Think of all the information PokemonChina found on Chinese cards, but instead, with all the languages. I know I would have loved to have this resource when I started my Voltorb collection :stuck_out_tongue:

Some German promos are not listed. I have 25 of them.

I meant what was presented in the original post. I’m taking all of the information Eric has now and transferring that as the core information. Then I’ll make available the spreadsheet to everyone and they can fill in gaps for me.

Sound like a plan? :blush:
I’m open to alternative plans if they will yield better results.

Oh, I see said the blind man.

I’m certainly open to format changes as well. Especially with the promos section, since that takes up a lot of space, but doesnt look too nice.

@omahanime, are you familiar enough with the Korean cards to provide some input?

I would hope so.

Would you like permission to edit that one? I’m thinking about adding Korean, Chinese and Spanish tomorrow.

Yes. I can at least add in the foreign promos I have.

If you want I can help out with some languages: Dutch, Polish and Russian.
I don’t speak Polish and Russian but I do have a lot of cards in those languages 

Send me your email and I can give you permission to edit those documents :blush: I have Dutch ready to go, but I haven’t set the others up. Those won’t be ready until probably the weekend.

Oh. Mine was copied from a Base Set booster pack, and as darkrai said, that term was only used in the Base Set.

Also, the Italian document has a brief error. All Italian Pokemon names are the same as their English names. Same with Spanish and Dutch. For Russian, the names are transliterations in Cyrillic of the English names.

Just to clarify, Dutch names don’t exist, these are the same as in English.

Thanks for the name clarification, everyone. I didn’t catch that before, I will change it if it hasn’t already been changed! Also, Cyrillic is the bees knees.

Holofoil Vivillon seems to be the rarest Russian Pokemon card at the moment. I’m seeing it sold on eBay for around $80-100. It might become the Russian equivalent of a 1st edition Base Set Charizard.

Hi Tony, I will spend some time this weekend typing out the Chinese names for the cards, sets and decks.

Anything to help try and get EX Legend Maker recognized by PSA.

Where do you plan on publishing these guides?

@holographic, yeah those cards in particular are highly sought after, and with Russian being so new and not easily accessible, it’s not too surprising that it’s pretty expensive.

@zhongwen, Thanks! I have the Chinese document set up so if you send me your email, I can give you permission to edit the document. Once these are all nearly complete, I will share it with anyone who wants to search it and publish them in other forums across the world.

Sorry I’ve been stuck in bed for the last 2 days with a fever of 40c. I’ll get round to this at some point!

I think Pokemon should be the last thing on your mind with a fever like that :stuck_out_tongue: Get well soon!
