So glad each generation was included instead of the typical kanto only. Will pick up a gen 2 deck for sure!

[joponnes]

The ex cards are somewhat meh as usual even though i like the odd pick of amoongus and maybe will get xerneas as it’s slowly creeped up as one of my favourites. But some lovely new bulk cards like the toadscool, skwovet and squawkabilly that i will for sure add in some of my side collections

[lyleberr]

Well, technically 9 and a special box. Time to keep an eye out for these. Thanks for posting about them.

[nintenbox0731]

How nice of TPC to create a new product made for the release of a top 5 Riolu art. I am going to buy 100 Riobillion Riolu Generations decks.

[swolepoke]

10/10 Larvitar. I’m so happy

[mthursty]

Imagine if they had 1/6 decks with an SR like hyper metal chain

[Sleepingfatboi]

Please no

[inertgeometry]

or like the start deck 100 from swsh. i could definitely see it

Preorder info for Special Battle Set box

Man i LOVE the gen 4 advert artwork. I wonder who illustrated it.

Gonna be on the hunt of a nice clean flyer.

[bk2021]

I think Gen 1 is by Atsushi Furusawa, Gen 5 is by Arita and Gen 9 is by Ryota Murayama.

Unsure about the rest though Murayama could certainly have done more than 1.

edit: Actually they might have done 3 each?

Furusawa: Kanto, Sinnoh, Alola
Arita: Johto, Unova, Galar
Murayama: Hoenn, Kalos, Paldea

I just noticed the tag Thank you @koala you are the best

Would make a nice binder page. Taking a shot at the locations, feel free to fill in the ones I missed:

1. Fighting dojo in Saffron
2. Route 45 south end
3. The summit of Mt. Pyre
4. ?
5. Outside of Pinwheel Forest
6. ?
7. ?
8. ?
9. ?

I know they have names too. I’ll come back to the list later today.

[koala]

Someone on Twitter/X made references already. As for locations I have no clue, maybe they’re found at the same places in-game

[jaxlax21]

The backgrounds are also where they are in each game. Fighting Dojo in Gen 1, Route 45 in Gen 2, Mt. Pyre in Gen 3, Route 211 (but looks like a slightly different spot that where they are located in the game) in Gen 4, Route 13 in Gen 5, Route 8 in Gen 6, Poni Gauntlet in Gen 7, Hammerlock in Gen 8 (this one is inside the city, so that shows on the card), and Glaseado Mountain for Gen 9.

[rtas]

Just got back lol, according to bulbapedia they are:

1. Blackbelt (no name), Fighting dojo in Saffron
2. Blackbelt Kenji, Route 45 south end
3. Blackbelt Atsushi or Zander (Emerald), inside Mt. Pyre
4. Blackbelt Sean, Route 211
5. Blackbelt Kentaro, outside of Pinwheel Forest
6. Blackbelt Cadoc, Route 8
7. Blackbelt Tracy, Poni Gauntlet
8. Blackbelt Brian, Hammerlocke
9. Blackbelt Roger/Sayid/Marcos/Sebastian, Glaseado Mountain

@jaxlax21 gen 5 black belt is outside of Pinwheel forest because you can see “challenge rock” behind him but thanks for helping out!
