Is there a website/wiki/other place available that shows setlists for the Korean language Pokemon sets?
If anybody knows of one, please share.
Great resource for DP era www.poisonpie.com/toys/korean/index.html
Thanks! I am looking for BW era sets specifically. Kinda just assumed a place would have all or none.
Unfortunately, I don’t know a single website with all Korean cards (I wish!..). But, here some websites to have an almost complete picture of Korean Pokémon cards:
- Base Set is released in 1st and unlimited edition (2000)
- EX era Expansion Pack (EX Diamond & Sapphire in English) (2003)
- Korean 1/P Pikachu phone booth promo (2004), not sure if there were more phone booth promos (fun fact: this is the only Korean card with a new Japanese back instead of English one a.f.a.i.k.)
- Black Star Promos (2009-2010)
- Start of an Adventure up to Guardians of Ancient Times - ten sets in total (2010-2011)
- There are also a bunch of decks for some of these sets, as well as some Korean exclusives for the XY era, which can mostly be found searching for “KTCG” on Bulbapedia
- BW Black Star Promos (2011-2013)
- XY-P Black Star Promos (2014-2016)
- SM-P Black Star Promos (2016-2019)
- S-P Black Star Promos (2019+)
- XY, SM, and SWSH era set cards (and some earlier cards from 2010+, but not all) can mostly be found here (if you want to look for a certain Pokémon, look up its Korean name on its Bulbapedia page in the “In other languages” section - i.e. Pikachu = 피카츄)
A.f.a.i.k. know, all BW and XY era Japanese sets were also printed in Korean. It’s possible some were skipped, but if that’s the case I don’t know which. All Japanese XY and BW era Pikachu cards from regular sets I have also been able to find in Korean.
If there is any card or set in particular you want to know is released in Korean, I can see if I can find some information perhaps.

Do you know any rhyme or reason why only certain sets were printed in foreign languages? I was looking into Thai, since it is latest but not much info anywhere (nor many eBay sellers). I would be interested to see what Korean sets @milhouse is looking for.
@teamrocketop Yeah, which sets are released in which languages is annoying to find out unfortunately. Most English sets are also printed in German, French, and Italian, although there are some exceptions unfortunately: Skyridge nor Arceus weren’t printed in French; EX Power Keepers nor Surpreme Victors weren’t printed in Italian; Double Crisis was not printed in German nor Italian (but was printed in French and Portuguese).
Portuguese and Spanish are almost completely at random across all sets, until it stabilizes around the XY era. A lot of DP, Platinum, and HGSS era sets that were available in Spanish lacked Reverse Holos however, and all XY era sets lacked Portuguese Reverse Holos. EX Team Rocket Returns was only printed in English and Portuguese. EX Legend Maker was printed in German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese, but the Portuguese and Chinese sets lacked the Secret Rares.
Most of the other languages aren’t too hard: Dutch was only printed for the Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil (and two Pikachu promos); Chinese for the Base Set, EX Legend Maker (and Plusle and Minun Deck and some POP promos), and some Sun & Moon era sets; Polish only the Diamond & Pearl and Mysterious Treasures sets (and two Pikachu cards in the Pikachu World Collection 2010 set); Russian from XY to and including BREAKthrough (and some promos and blister holofoil alterations); Thai and Indonesian have their own Sun & Moon sets (six for Thai thus far, and I think the sixth Indonesian actually released last week), they do each have their own decks and promos though (if you are looking for set lists: here is the first set list, and you can navigate at the top to other sets and at the left-hand size to decks - some of the latest sets and decks aren’t completely filled in yet though).
And promos in general for other languages is a pain to find out tbh. It’s so random… I even have a Pikachu which was released in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and even Russian, but lacked a Japanese release. Ah well, I guess that makes collecting a single Pokémon in all languages and variations interesting. Gaining knowledge along the way is part of the collecting journey.
PS: I mentioned some Thai sources for cards here a couple of days ago.

I might be able to answer Korean card questions.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification and feedback! Definitely going to look into it more.
