Product/Card Release Dates
- Thread starter Blob55
- Start date
The only thing I know for sure is the exclusive Zapdos from the Thunderstorm gift box set was released after Gym Heroes but before Gym Challenge.
Thanks. I'm putting it in around September 2000, as Gym Heroes was released in August and Challenge was released in October.
Glad I could help with that at least. Not sure what to tell you about the tropical mega battle stuff.
I found it out anyway.
Does anyone know when the Target event for Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip and Whismur happened around 2003 or early 2004? I need a month for when it took place, but can't find anything.
Bulbapedia says: October 25, 2004
I mean the English releases. Last time I checked, Bulbapedia didn't list the Target English distribution.
Also, the date you said was for the HOLO version, the Target cards are NON-HOLO.
OK... I looked at the page exclusively for the promos, and it said "
In Japan, this card was released as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil ADV-P Promotional card at participating 7-Eleven stores as part of the Pokémon Fair campaign, which ran from June 25, 2003 until stocks lasted. Customers who purchased a bottle of Coca-Cola Vanilla, Sprite Classic, Ambasa Sour White, Fanta Fruit Punch, or Fanta Melon Soda were given one of 21 possible cards. The English release was made available at Target snack bars with the purchase of an Icee or Arctic Blast. A Holofoil version was later available in one of the four EX Deck Tins, released on October 25, 2004"
don't know if that will help or not
*edit* forgot to add: It probably started in summer 2004 judging by what it was being offered with. *cough* shakes *cough
*edit 2* removed bold formatting.

I did a quick search of "Treecko Target 2003" on google, and the first 2 results came up with an answer of around February 2004 for the Target promos being released.
Hope that helps ^.^
Also, had a quick look through bulbapedia's sources, and 2000's tropical mega battle was from August 25-26th? That's according to one of the reports.

Thanks. If the info isn't on the card's or set's page, I find it hard to get. I also have all of the other cards to sort out, like pre-releases, random Japanese mini-sets, Movie Packs, Misc. Promos and my ABSOLUTE least faviourite: Stamps!
BTW, anyone know the rest of the Expadition Set Pre-release cards with Japanese backs? Hoppip and Pichu are two of them and I think there were 11 total.

I remember picking up the Metagross blister pack at the same time as the Holon Phantom Blister packs that had Venusaur and Rayquaza. Those were released in May of 2006. Granted there is a difference between when places actually get releases. But mid 2006 tells me it would be either May (as I've remembered) or June. If I remember right the next release wouldn't be until August/September 2006 with Crystal Guardians.
