*This set was previously known as New Dimension, but since its initials were ND (the same as {{TCG|Neo Discovery}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}), the name was changed. | *This set was previously known as New Dimension, but since its initials were ND (the same as {{TCG|Neo Discovery}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}), the name was changed. | ||
*In early 2013, a variation of certain Expedition cards was discovered. Labeled “For Position Only,” the set of seven cards includes Alakazam, Ampharos, Arbok, Blastoise, Charizard, Clefable, and Dugtrio. These cards were released by a former Wizards of the Coast employee informally nearly a decade after their creation. “For Position Only” is used in graphic design and printing to designate proofs intended for review before the release of a final product. The set was printed after the release of Legendary Collection and before the release of Expedition, which is why the cards are not identical to their Expedition releases and were contained within a handful of unreleased Legendary Collection packs. For Position Only, or “FPO,” cards can be identified by the white lettering “For Position Only” across the artwork, the word “Medium” is small type in the bottom left corner of the cards, and “Wizards” in the copyright text, rather than “Nintendo,” due to the timing of their print. The Charizard variant is also missing “HP” in the top right corner, suggesting an error print might have been possible had it not been cut at this stage of production, similar to the error seen with the Dark Persian “No HP” variation of Black Star Promo #17. Of the seven, Dugtrio and Clefable are the rarest with fewer than ten copies of each in existence. An eighth “Manhole” card was packaged with the Pokémon ''For Position Only'' cards inside of the unreleased Legendary Collection packs and also bares the “For Position Only” white lettering but it is connected only to the e-reader technology and advertising for the system rather than to the Pokémon franchise itself. | *In early 2013, a variation of certain Expedition cards was discovered.
