Fixed wording about released cards 76/109, 003/009, #003 and #007 due to incorrect timeline. The JP Const. Starter Deck came first, EX Ruby & Sapphire second, then the #003 card with artwork by Nishida, and finally the #007 holofoil card with artwork by Sugimori again. Also added details on release of the foreign language variations of #007 promo card.
