Many ‘Pulse of the Frontier’ Card Images, Translations; Information
UPDATE: The translations have been added below the card images. Thanks go to Bangiras for translating all of the cards so quickly and Jason for HTMLizing them for me. Cards to look at twice are Blaziken FB LV.X, Garchomp C LV.X, Electivire LV.X, Rayquaza, and Regigigas.
Sorry for the lack of updates this week; I still had midterms and projects and unfortunately still do.
The official Pokemon Card website has released 29 card images from Pulse of the Frontier, the next Japanese set that will be released on March 6th. You can download the set wallpaper by clicking the thumbnail to the right. The translations of the cards are below the card images, courtesy of Bangiras as usual. The first six card images below are from the “Garchomp vs. Charizard” theme deck, while the rest are from the main set.
There will be 100 cards in the set. As we confirmed a while ago, Cynthia’s Pokemon have a “C” at the end of their name, which stands for “Champion.” Pokemon owned by Pokemon Platinum‘s Frontier Brains have an “FB” at the end of their name. Galactic Pokemon are still in this set, as are unowned, normal Pokemon cards. Gym Leader Pokemon are not known to be in the set yet and probably will not be.
Confirmed LV.X’s so far are Charizard G, Garchomp C, Blaziken FB, Electivire FB, and Staraptor FB. Will there be more? We’ll find out soon!
