*Two Japanese cards; Imakuni?'s Doduo and _____'s Chansey were not released in the English set. [[Tomoaki Imakuni|Imakuni]] is a singer for several Pokémon songs released only in Japan, so the exclusion of Imakuni?'s Doduo was mostly due to prevent confusion from players. Also, as a "spoof" card that are never released outside of Japan, it had no place in a "serious" card set. The exclusion of _____'s Chansey was also due to one of the English TCG unwritten "rules" to not feature blank owner's Pokémon. The only exception is the promotional {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|_____'s Pikachu|24}}. | *Two Japanese cards; Imakuni?'s Doduo and _____'s Chansey were not released in the English set.
