RE: Pokémon Promo Cards v.3. *For all of your Eng & Jp Pokémon TCG Promo Needs! NOW WITH SCANS!*
Did not see this thread when originally posting and was asked to post the info here. Went to McDonald's this morning to get breakfast and got some of the toys to see what cards I would get. Got all copies, or so I thought. Included in this time was what I think is a French card. I do live in America (Alabama to be precise) so this is no joke. see the captures below. The foreign card is still in the plastic wrap in the side by side shot. Sorry for a little bit of blur. First camera we could get our hands on was a cell phone so not perfect and scanner is not hooked up.
So watch out in your happy meals. You may be a little happier than you think. Good luck and hope someone else finds some cool ones.

As someone who speaks (well... "spoke" is more like it) French I can confirm that is indeed a French card. I think it's interesting that they had a mixup. I wouldn't mind getting French cards from McDonald's.

A few things I noticed while going through the list:
Wizards Black Star Promos:
21, 22 and 23, Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos have error versions, some list the illustrator as Toshinao Aoki and some list it as Naoyo Kimura. This was due to the cards getting new illustrations when they were translated.
Diamond and Pearl Black Star Promos:
15 Shinx also has an error version, where the back of the card is the wrong way up.
Prerelease cards:
Prerelease Raichu definitely exists.
Prerelease Clefable is not "Extremely Rare", I have been collecting for around 3 years and there has never not been one on eBay.
POP5:
3 Mew, the holo version has the same error as the holo Pikachu, sometime the back is the wrong way up.
POP7:
2 Gallade and 14 Mareep have error versions where they have been printed without Illustrator text.
Other events:
Why are the Number 1 trainers listed but not the Number 2 and Number 3's? Also you missed the Number 1 from 2004.
The list is missing the Stadium Challenge Deoxys
Tin, Gift Box, and other Alternate Holos
Mysterious Treasures Gabite also had a holo version for some unknown reason, it came in a box with the 3 holo trainers (Bebe, Rowan, Cynthia) and holo Palkia and Leafeon, both of which were already found in decks.
Cards for buying a movie:
Rise of Darkrai: Non holo version of the DP promo came in UK copies of the DVD too.
Jumbos:
Best of Rocket's Mewtwo had a Jumbo version
Combusken winner also had a Jumbo version (and the Grovyle was a winner)
Enjoy

I just got my 1st Edition "Ivy Pikachu" Error from ProfessorOak.com in the mail today!! It's BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't be happier! =]
I've also had this "Ghost" Pikachu card for awhile. I don't know much about, but I have seen them suddenly pop up on eBay. It's pretty cool, but other than that I don't know how the "1st Edition" symbol printed like that... lol

It's from the Victini Box Gift Set. Click here for an image of the whole box and you can see the Zoroark card.

Quick question about something:
I made an online purchase recently and received a random card as a throw-in. The card in question was an old-style holo Rainbow Energy (same style at the Team Rocket set RE), but there's no set symbol anywhere on the card. The copyright date is 1995-2000 and the holo is over the entire card, even the yellow border.
Since it didn't have a set symbol, I was thinking it was probably a promo card of some sort, and looking through the OP, I managed to come across this, linked in the "Other WotC Promos" section. I think it might be the same as my card, but there's so much holo in this particular scan that it's really hard to tell.
Would someone be able to tell me if they are, indeed, the same card? And if not, would you happen to know which card mine is? I'd also be interested in learning its origins, how it was distributed, etc. Mostly out of curiosity.

Yes, it is an old WOTC promo card. All energies were released as holos and I believe they were given out at leagues. Even the Recycle Energy from Neo Genesis was made holo! =]

So... do any of you guys know why BW-P Promos 27-31 don't exist/haven't been released yet/fell into the abyss?
I mean, Japan has never skipped a whole bunch of numbers like that before. It's weird.

If I'm reading properly, the list of BW promos does not yet include the new Dark Rush promos. Perhaps because we may not have scans yet so we don't know what numbers they are. So, it's possible that those 4 cards (Umbreon, Zorua, Lilligant, and Excadrill) are part of the missing chunk.
EDIT: Never mind. The Bulbapedia BW-P list has been updated more recently than the one in the OP. The above 4 cards are 115-118. They have a bunch of other listed that our OP is missing, too, but still a giant chunk of blank where 27-31 are.

Yeah, I was looking at BP's list at my reference. The closest I can recall to the giant unexplained gap was when like three of the last English DP Promos were reprints released in France only or something. But since Japan is, obviously, the main country for Japanese promos... what's up with it? Do the Japanese creators even realize? Was there some other set of promos released that everyone missed? Was something planned that fell through last minute? I don't get it. ;(
