Simplified Chinese 151 to feature exclusive Special Art

What i’m most excited about is that they are also releasing binders for every gen 1 pokemon (well mew is missing from the photos so not sure about it but let’s see how it ends up being)

Rough times for @joponnes with that slime cameo in the background.

These are great. Do we know if they are gonna be the felt back type of binder or just standard plastic?

Are they exclusively released in China or will there be Japanese versions too? They look absolutely amazing.

Considering the cameos on the Mew binder: Interesting design choice, but not sure if I personally will go for it. The Starmie one is the one I absolutely have to get. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Material quality wasn’t mentioned, so far according to the site:

If you want to collect “151” Pokémon, collecting card books is of course indispensable. This time, we have also prepared 151 kinds of 151 Pokémon collection card books. The cover of the card book corresponds to 151 Pokémon. Each page can be loaded with 9 cards, and each book is enough to load all 151 “Pokémon”. The card book is in the form of random sealing. Try which Pokémon corresponding card book you can meet!

  • I assume they will be slimmer than the 360 slot 3x3 binders we’re used to
  • They will be sealed and Pokémon within will be random

It is worth mentioning that from January 17 to December 31, 2025, if you sign up for the designated offline activities twice through the “Pokémon Card Member” applet, you will have the opportunity to get a free card book.”

The recommended retail price of 151 Pokémon collection card book is 100 yuan, with a total of 151,000 copies, first-come, first-served.

  • Does this mean 1,000 copies of each Pokémon?
  • 15,100 yuan (~ 2068 USD) to complete a 151 binder collection at retail price… :grimacing:

I haven’t been that strict about items that include the whole gen 1 but i have to admit the unique interpretation of them is tempting!

This is a great concept, but sad for getting a specific Pokèmon easily. Any idea of how to proceed here, only secondary market I guess?

I eagerly await the new KATO cards to add to my binder! Depending on how difficult it is to source cards I am playing with the idea of a complete set. I already have 151 English and Japanese. Might be fun to add Simplified Chinese.

It definitely looks like they’re setting up for a big 3 language player/collector market in the future, instead of just JP and EN (globally). I noticed earlier today that their Master Ball reverse is not only in the 151 set but also their regular SV sets, which is just insane. It’s telling me that there might be Simplified SV sets in the future where they are the only language to have Master Ball variants (e.g. Battle Partners, Glory of Team Rocket), JP and EN doesn’t do this for regular sets

They have such a big active market right now. Makes sense to do some things that can set them apart and draw EN and JN collectors in.

Very excited for this! Are there any well-known services for middleman purchases from China? I saw @Ratequaza mention a few, but was curious if anyone has one they’d recommend as a “go-to” for someone inexperienced like myself.

My wife and I will be on the hunt for the Jigglypuff cameo in the Pikachu AR! Most likely the exclusive pokeball/masterball Jigglypuff reverse holos too.

Will this card be available in Hong Kong?If anyone knows, please let me know.

I think this won’t be available in HK because HK uses the traditional Chinese version, not the simplified Chinese version.

It’s a glorified reverse holo, but hey, if it makes the actual chase cards cheaper, then fine by me.

I think nothing will distract people from the actually unique special art cards for this language lol

As much as the exclusive special arts are cool. I’m kinda hoping there’s none for the eeveelutions. I can only buy so much before I start questioning my life decisions.
