*This expansion was replaced by {{TCG|Base Set 2}} on its release, as by that point Base Set had been out of print for some time. | |||
*Several final form Pokémon were left out of this set despite their pre-evolved forms appearing - Butterfree, Clefable, Dodrio, Dragonite, Gengar, Hypno, Pidgeot, Rapidash, Sandslash and Weezing. These cards were later released in {{TCG|Jungle}} and {{TCG|Fossil}}. | |||

All cards in the 1st Edition and Shadowless runs were printed with thinner HP and attack text. These cards were without drop shadows for the illustration window, hence the name shadowless. Shadowless cards are more valuable than later runs. | ||

*In TCG expansions up until {{TCG|Pokémon VS}}, the Japanese cards did not have a numbering system, and so the only number featured on the Japanese cards is the Pokémon's [[Kanto Pokédex|Pokédex]] number. | *In TCG expansions up until {{TCG|Pokémon VS}}, the Japanese cards did not have a numbering system, and so the only number featured on the Japanese cards is the Pokémon's [[Kanto Pokédex|Pokédex]] number. | ||
*The English cards adopted a system based on ordering the cards alphabetically and by descending rarity (rare-holo, rare, uncommon, common) and class of card (Pokémon, Trainer, Energy). This ordering remained in place until the release of {{TCG|Black & White}}. The Japanese set is ordered by type ({{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Fire}}, {{TCG|Water}}, {{TCG|Lightning}}, {{TCG|Psychic}}, {{TCG|Fighting}}, {{TCG|Colorless}}), National Pokédex number, and ascending rarity (rare and rare-holo counting the same). This ordering remained in place until {{TCG|e-Card 2}}. | *The English cards adopted a system based on ordering the cards alphabetically and by descending rarity (rare-holo, rare, uncommon, common) and class of card (Pokémon, Trainer, Energy).
