Translations and Images of Cards from ‘BW Boy and Girl Starter Kits’
Scans from a magazine called Pokemon Fan have revealed several cards that will be in the Black and White Boy and Girl Starter Kits. Exclusive to the boy’s kit are Buffalon, Basurao, and an unknown card while Tabunne, Chillarmy, and Mamanbou are exclusive to the girl’s kit. Each kit features three 30-card decks centered around each of the starters for a total of 90 cards. The cards in both kits combine to form a 37-card sub-set (meaning there are 37 unique cards), which explains why we are not getting a main Black and White set until December – they’re filling the interim with these two kits and the three Journey Partner Promo Collections. Translations of the cards shown in the magazine are below courtesy of Bangiras while Gin has provided us with the magazine scans; click the thumbnails to enlarge them.
