“Scarlet & Violet – 151” Special English Set Revealed for September!
Scarlet & Violet – 151 has been officially revealed! It will be our English version of Pokemon Card 151, which releases today in Japan.
As we posted before, the set’s products will begin to release on September 22nd.
Our 151 set will be almost identical to the original Japanese set. It’ll come with:
- Over 160 cards
- 12 Pokémon ex
- All 151 Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region—in Pokédex order
- More than 10 Trainer cards
- 16 illustration rare and seven special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards
- 16 ultra rare full-art etched Pokémon and Supporter cards
- Three hyper rare gold etched cards
Two Illustration Rares and one Special Illustration Rare have been cut: Snorlax, Mewtwo, and Mew ex have been turned into promos for some of our English products. This will make them easier for fans to obtain.
Otherwise our English set appears to be exactly the same as the Japanese set. For example, Bulbasaur’s Illustration Rare is #166/165 in both Japanese and English. This is quite an unusual sight!
