For the first time in the TCG, two simultaneous deck kits were released marketed at a specific gender. The contents of the two sets are largely similar; both have three half decks based on the [[Generation V]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}; both also contain the same assortment of game essentials. The major difference is in the design of the products and items themselves, the girls set advertised as "cuter" when compared to the standard Beginning Set. Each set also has a small number of exclusive cards, but both share a collective numbering system and set symbol. The half decks are further identified by featuring colored silhouettes of the appropriate starter Pokémon, the cards exclusive to the Beginning Set for Girls also have a pink collection number. The holographic cards in both sets use a bubble foil pattern unique to the Beginning Set. | For the first time in the TCG, two simultaneous deck kits were released marketed at a specific gender.
