Sets and Languages: Compilation overview list

I can confirm that the Japanese EX Ruby & Sapphire set has multiple codes as well. Can’t say for sure about the 1st editions though since I don’t have many 1st editions of that set. I would assume all EX series have multiple codes. I will check to see if I saved any code variants of the other sets as well later, but here’s confirmation for ex ruby & sapphire:

Also, as for the no rarity/rarity cards with the gym sets, only the cards available in theme decks lack a rarity symbol. Cards from the booster packs all have rarity symbols. The theme deck cards are partially exclusive, many cards in the theme decks do not appear in the booster packs and vice versa many cards from the booster packs don’t appear in the theme decks. You might want to differentiate between these sets (theme deck / gym 1 / gym 2) for clarity’s sake.

For the other wotc era sets besides base, it’s pointless to mention “with rarity symbol” cause they all come with rarity symbol. I think all fixed theme decks come without rarity symbol, but the only other set I can think of that can come with and without rarity symbol is the quick starter gift pack set (no rarity) in contrast to the vending series cards (with rarity).

I actually came to that conclusion this Saturday as well. I’m currently reorganizing my binders, and I order the Pokémon on National Index → Set release date → Language → Set number → Specials (stamps, error, etc.)

So I made a doc with all release dates of sets. Just copy-pasted it in Google Doc for everyone who want to see it: docs.google.com/document/d/1gvlrhyKkY1SfLBAVMiiK7LFzSCZ83SLX1ZByl-fwdj8/edit?usp=sharing
It probably misses some Decks / releases, since I’ve only made it last weekend, but it should cover most of it. Will edit the main post of this thread later and indeed remove the No rarity. Perhaps I’m able to find information on the release languages for all the Decks and such, although I doubt it (and for promos / special releases it’s a complete mix on which country did or did not release it.

Did i understand correctly that it’s only (but basically whole) ex series era that has multiple codes?

Yep, that’s indeed correct. And only the non-holo Commons, Uncommons, and Energy cards from sets have multiple codes. Promos, stamped cards, and cards from decks will have codes as well, but they’ll all be the same for those cards, so you can basically ignore them.

Here a google doc compiled by @tonysandlin with all English ex codes: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-UdZUOk_i1h7bcI1YeG3BzK_HFegG-uoh4Ylnqv3K2w/pubhtml All European languages (German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese) are the same as these English codes. The only exception are the EX Emerald non-holo Uncommons. For some reason, there are only single codes for these in English, but two each in French, German, Italian, and Portuguese (the second non-Holo code is the same as the Reverse Holofoil code for these).

Japanese sets that have codes will have four for Commons, instead of three like the English ones. Japanese Uncommons will still be two codes.

Holofoil Rares, Reverse Holos, and non-Holo Rares will always have a single code regardless of the language.

And you’re indeed correct that there aren’t any codes outside of the ex era.

For anyone else coming across this thread: the first post is very outdated, and contains some errors. I plan on updating it one day, but not sure when. I might actually do so in the near future, since it’ll help myself creating single Pokémon lists as well with one overview I guess. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice thread, I’m looking forward to see the updated version! Also have you considered adding the World Championship Decks cards to your single Pokémon lists?

My single Pokémon lists do indeed include the English World Championship Deck cards. :blush: Unfortunately World Championship Deck cards and misprinted cards aren’t mentioned on the Bulbapedia pages themselves, so those are a manual check afterwards when I create my lists.

If you’re curious about the full method I use for creating these single Pokémon lists:

Thanks! Means more stuff to find then :grin: i hope different code variants aren’t that difficult to find (at least for common cards) but i’ll try to give it a shot!

@joponnes, Code variants are not difficult to find at all, especially for common cards! Talking from personal experience as these variants were my goal for my Magikarps this past month. And it’s also relatively cheap :blush:

Bump. Fixed some things in the first post that I added back in 2017, and updated it with all sets and languages.

If anyone sees a mistake, or knows a (mini) set I’ve missed in any language, lmk.
I might add Japanese/Korean decks later on as well, although I might have to change the layout of the first post to group them per language instead of per set in that case.

Ah, you’re right. I forgot the L1/L2/L3 reverse holos. I’ll edit them in.

Pretty sure BREAKpoint doesn’t exist for Russian cards unless you’ve seen them @quuador since then

EX Battle Boost:a) I’ve seen some Japanese pack openings on YT and sometimes there is no Reverse Holo. Which means that either only a selection of cards of the set have a parallel Reverse Holo version, or either all cards of the set can be Reverse but the Reverse Holo is not guaranteed per pack.b) I’ve seen some Korean pack openings on YT and, likewise, sometimes there is a Reverse Holo. That means there is definitely a Korean Reverse Holo set that you should add to the list.www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SA03JKcY9k
Fever-Burst Fighter & Cruel Traitor:I’m unable to find any example of non-1st edition cards, are you sure that set exists ?

Thanks, I’ve added the Korean reverse for the EX Battle Boost set.
And you’re indeed correct about the Fever-Burst Fighter and Cruel Traitor lacking unlimited edition. I had already fixed this mistake on Bulbapedia, but not yet in this thread.

I’ve also added the Portuguese Noble Victories and Dragons Exalted, which someone mentioned exist yesterday.

Hello Quuador,
I think these are minor mistakes:
• McDonald’s Collection 2012:
French set is missing

• McDonald’s Collection 2011 / Collection Sheet:
4 sets are missing: French, Italian, Spanish, German

• Premium Champion Pack:
“- Japanese Reverse Holo UED (this Japanese set is not printed in unlimited edition)”
Replace “unlimited” with “first”

• Mythical and Legendary Dream Shine Collection:
“- Japanese Reverse Holo 1st edition (this Japanese set is not printed in 1st edition)”
Replace “1st” with “unlimited”

For the following:
• Strength Expansion Pack Sun & Moon
• Facing a New Trial
• Ultra Force
Korean regular (non-Reverse) sets are missing.

For the following:
• Champion Road
• Dragon Majesty / Dragon Storm
• Thunderclap Spark
• Fairy Rise
• Dark Order
Korean reverse sets are missing

For the following:
• Unbroken Bonds / Double Blaze
• Unified Minds / Miracle Twin
• Cosmic Eclipse / Alter Genesis
• Sword & Shield / Sword & Shield:
• Rebel Clash / Rebellion Crash:
• Darkness Ablaze / Infinity Zone:
• Vivid Voltage / Amazing Volt Tackle:
“- Korean Reverse Holo”
There are no Korean Reverse sets.

• Hidden Fates & Hidden Fates - Shiny Vault / GX Ultra Shiny:
“- Korean

  • Korean Reverse Holo”
    There is no regular Korean set, only Reverse.

Thanks for mentioning the typos. Fixed. :blush:

You’re complete right for all of them. Can’t believe I made so many mistakes, especially for some of those Korean sets since a few contains Pikachu/Seviper… Thanks a lot for catching all of them. I’ve made the list a few years back, and although I’ve updated it not too long ago, apparently I haven’t properly fixed all my earlier errors.

I’ve edited in all your fixes. Thanks again.
And I’ve also added one missing variation I forgot: Japanese Ultra Force (sm5+) has two different versions of Reverse Holo cards: one with black text and one with white-outlined text for the set number & illustrator.
