Actually, BW era Russian cards actually exist officially, but they haven’t been released physically. They appear as assets from TCG Online. This game had an option to download all the card data (including assets) to your computer in the language you’ve selected. If you had Russian selected, you can have assets in Russian. (7 functional languages and each folder is around 7 GB)
With “Functional language” (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese & Russian) I mean, languages that have card assets in that specific language. There were other languages such as Swedish or Finnish that only have card assets in English. In fact, Russian only had Card Assets translated in BW & XY eras. HGSS era is untranslated (assets in English)
Russian had card assets translated until XY9 approx. In fact, the untranslated XY era cards appeared in PDFs from the official Pokémon Site (shared by @Ratequaza above) … And, as you can see, HGSS & SM era cards are untranslated (cards in English).
You can access via Asset Studio to the asset files … The following are some examples of Russian cards taken from TCG Online.
BW era:
Red Star Promos also exist in Russian (as card assets):
XY era:
This is the Official Asset from Snivy BW1 in Russian. I’ve loaded the file in Asset Studio
This is the Asset extracted (Unedited) (I haven’t loaded it in Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Microsoft Paint or similars)
Maybe it can be useful for you all to make a comparison …
Unlike Yu-Gi-Oh (Duel Links/Master Duel), Pokémon (TCG Online/TCG Live) tends to have the same characteristics as physical cards (font, position, etc)
Btw, if you want me to check a Russian card from TCG Online, let me know via MD (you can make your list and I’ll search in the files)
Hope this ends being helpful for you all …
