'''Black & White''' is the name given to the first main expansion of the ''Black & White Series'' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as the '''Black Collection''' and '''White Collection''' dual expansions that make up the first expansion block in the Pokémon Card Game BW Era. It is based on {{game|Black and White|s}}, featuring [[Generation V]] Pokémon and the two game [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. The English expansion was released on April 25, 2011, while the Japanese expansions were released on December 17, 2010. The concept of starting from a new beginning was brought into the Trading Card Game, thus Black & White was entirely composed of Generation V Pokémon. | '''Black & White''' is the name given to the first main expansion of the ''Black & White Series'' of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Black & White introduced {{TCG|Ability}}, replacing the long-standing Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Abilities essentially merge the active and passive effects of Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies into a single mechanic, akin to Pokémon Powers present during the original and Neo Series. It also introduced {{TCG|Full Art card}}s. Full Art cards featured the artwork and Holofoil covering the entire card. | Black & White introduced {{TCG|Ability}}, replacing the long-standing Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies.

Black & White also introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes. The card border of English prints were changed to yellow, while Japanese prints were changed to gray. The Stage area received a new graphic and were moved to the extreme top left with the Evolution circle below and the "Evolves from" beside the Evolution circle. There were curvy strips between the Pokémon's name and the HP, which gained additional layers upon evolving. The Weakness and Resistance were moved to the bottom left with the Retreat (shortened from Retreat Cost) below. The Pokédex entry was present on all Pokémon and was moved to the bottom right, inside of a frame. The copyright information was located on the extreme bottom left and the illustrator's name, card number and set symbol on the right. The Cosmos Holofoil was changed to a horizontal-striped pattern, named Tinsel Holofoil. In the Japanese prints, Holofoil were on the card border and the background of the artwork. | Black & White also introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes.

The English card ordering system was updated to be similar to the Japanese system that was introduced in {{TCG|ADV Expansion Pack}}. The Pokémon were ordered by type then by the [[National Pokédex]] number. All Trainer cards are listed in alphabetical order regardless of rarity. A new form of rarity symbol was implemented for the Japanese version. Instead of utilizing shapes to symbolize rarity, it was replaced by letters. {{rar|C}} replaces {{rar|Common}} on Common cards, {{rar|U}} replaces {{rar|Uncommon}} on Uncommon cards, and {{rar|R}} replaces {{rar|Rare}} on Rare cards. {{rar|SR}} were {{TCG|Full Art card}}s and {{rar|UR}} were {{TCG|Secret card}}s. | The English card ordering system was updated to be similar to the Japanese system that was introduced in {{TCG|ADV Expansion Pack}}.

The booster pack size for Japanese expansions were reduced from 11 to 5 and include a card advertising the TCG and several related products. The price of a booster pack was reduced from ¥300 to ¥150, making the packs more within the price range of a younger target audience. The chance of getting a Rare card was also reduced to 1 in 2 packs, as opposed to a guaranteed Rare card. Mirror cards introduced in the HeartGold Collection and SoulSilver Collection were also discontinued. | The booster pack size for Japanese expansions were reduced from 11 to 5 and include a card advertising the TCG and several related products.
