Intro Pack (TCG)
The Video Introduction Set is a special Deck Kit for the Pokémon Trading Card Game and was released in Japan only.
Release Date
- The set was released in Summer 1999.
Trivia
- This set was conceived to introduce youngsters to the TCG, and includes a step-by-step introduction video with full explanations of how to play the game and demonstrations.
- The cards found in this set are predominantly a mixture of those from Base Set and the Vending Machine collection; even some cards from Neo Genesis are included, several months before the Expansion was released. However, many of the cards are exclusive to the set with newly created character art. None of the cards have rarity symbols (as is the case with all Japanese cards from fixed sets), making reprinted cards much more valuable than their normal counterparts.
- Despite the fact that numbering systems were not fully introduced until e-Card 1, these cards have their own system. Instead of displaying the numbers ##/## like in all English sets and later Japanese sets, these cards have a number inside a circle. Those found in the Bulbasaur deck have a white number in a black circle, while the cards in the Squirtle deck have a black number in a white circle. The only exceptions to this are the two holographic cards Venusaur and Blastoise.
- In addition to the two decks and video, the set contains a rulebook, damage counters, two poison counters, a custom coin and playmat.
