BW TCG Era merchandise: Difference between revisions

The BW era officially began in Japan on September 18, 2010 with the release of the '''Collection Sheet Journey Partners''' (Japanese: '''コレクションシート 旅立ちの仲間'''). This collection consists of three sets, each focusing on one of the [[Generation V]] [[starter Pokémon]]: {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}. Each set contains three cards, nine available to collect in total, with every [[type]] in the TCG at the time represented by a card.

}}

The first major release of the BW era was the '''Beginning Set''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセット'''), available from October 29, 2010. Much like the earlier Collection Sheet Journey Partners, the set features three half decks with particular emphasis of the [[Unova]] starter Pokémon {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, while all collectively introduce a handful of new Generation V Pokémon. As an introductory product, the Beginning Set includes game essentials such as damage counters, a coin, and play mat, plus a number of play aids. These include a how-to-play booklet and DVD, plus three quick guides for each half deck detailing game flow and specific cards.

}}

Released simultaneously with the regular Beginning Set, the '''Beginning Set for Girls''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセット ｆｏｒガール''') marks the first TCG product explicitly marketed at a specific gender, with differences in presentation and illustration style on the cards exclusive to the set. Aside from a number of these exclusive cards, the contents remain largely similar to those in the regular Beginning Set: three starter-oriented half decks, damage counters, one coin, one play mat, three quick guides, one how-to-play booklet, and one how-to-play DVD.

}}

Little under a month after the release of the Beginning Set, a deluxe version called the '''Beginning Set DX''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセットDX''') was made available on November 20, 2010. The Beginning Set DX contains everything found in the regular Beginning Set, with the addition of a deck case, a set of 32 card sleeves, a sticker sheet, and a notebook. All of these items are also presented in a metal case emblazoned with various Pokémon in action poses.

}}

The '''Beginning Set DX for Girls''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセットDX ｆｏｒガール'''), an enhanced version of the regular Beginning Set for Girls, was released at the same time as the Beginning Set DX. Much like its counterpart, a deck case, a set of 32 card sleeves, a sticker sheet, and a notebook were packaged in addition to the contents found in the regular version, all presented in a metal case. The Pokémon featured on the case are drawn in soft pastel shades as opposed to the brightly colored 3D models as featured on the Beginning Set DX case.

}}

December 17, 2010 marked the release of {{TCG|Black Collection}} and {{TCG|White Collection}}. Available alongside was the '''Energy Card Official Card Box Reshiram•Zekrom''' (Japanese: '''エネルギーカード付きオフィシャルカードボックス レシロム•ゼクロム'''), which came packaged with five of each type of basic Energy card for a total of 40 cards, as no Energy cards were included in either Black Collection or White Collection. The box itself has enough space for 500 cards, and also comes with three dividers for organization.

}}

The '''Lawson Original Coin Set''' (Japanese: '''ローソンオリジナルコインセット''') was sold exclusively in {{wp|Lawson}} stores from January 1, 2011.

}}

One of three {{TCG|Battle Strength Decks}} released on March 18, 2011.

}}

Another of the three Battle Strength Decks made available on March 18, 2011 was the '''Terrakion Battle Strength Deck''' (Japanese: '''バトル強化デッキ テラキオン'''), which features the Legendary Cavern Pokémon {{p|Terrakion}} as a Cracked Ice Holofoil {{ct|Fighting}} card.

The '''{{TCG|Battle Theme Deck: Victini}}''' (Japanese: '''バトルテーマデッキ ビクティニ''') was released on June 17, 2011, and features the Victory Pokémon {{p|Victini}} as both a {{ct|Fire}} and {{ct|Psychic}} card. These two cards form the basis of the two decks in the set, with the Fire type Victini included in the Victini Formation Deck, and the Psychic type Victini included as part of the Victini Coin Flip Deck. The two decks each have 10 exclusive cards, with the remaining 20 to be used with either to form a half deck. The set also comes packaged with a Victini coin and deck building guide book.

}}

In celebration of the dual theatrical release of ''Victini and the Black Hero: Zekrom'' and ''Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram'', a total of four value sets were made available in two primary versions.
