Hi All,
I’d like to keep track of the releases of all the Pokémon TCG series for my collection. Because I collect a single Pokemon in all languages I needed something that gave me an overview of this.
So I created a document in which I keep track of all the regular series and the languages in which they were printed in. I thought this could be usefull for some of you guys as well, so here it is:
If you see anything I missed, or needs a correction, please let me know!
This is good to have. Even though I have all the Base Set languages in big quantities I still get confused and misread languages.
I actually started something similar more than a year ago, but never got around to finish it due to time issues… I’ve ordered them by set however, instead of by language (EDIT: I now see you did the same). Here is that thread I’m referring to.
I got from Base Set to EX Emerald. Although I made this about 1.5 year ago, so it might contain some mistakes (EDIT: I actually already see a few mistakes…). Hmm, I’ll see if I can make some time in the near future to finish the entire list for all sets.
I’ll also take a close look at your lists to see if I can spot anything missing. As someone who also collects single Pokémon in every language, and also creates lists for other single-Pokémon collectors (I made 35+ list already), this information is certainly useful to have in a clear overview as reference. It might also be useful to add if the sets has multiple EX codes for the EX era sets. Or has any differences with other languages (i.e. EX Legend Maker is released in both Chinese and Portuguese, but both of these lack the Secret Rare Pikachu Gold Star, unlike the same set in English, German, French, and Italian; and some Spanish and Portuguese sets lack Reverse Holos).
Greetz,

Slightly off topic, but still related to languages in Pokémon games. As a collector of both the Pokémon TCG as well as the Pokémon Video Games, one language has always stood out to me. You can clearly see it by looking at lof102’s post. The Japanese version always goes the extra mile. Just compare the image below. On the left the beautifully sculpted Japanese main Pokémon game logos and on the right the EU/US versions most of us are used to.
