RE: TCG Discussion
Dumb Japanese TCG questions.
I recently ordered a booster box set of the new Hail Blizzard & Psycho Drive sets. When I did, I noticed that the packs come with 5 cards in a pack instead of the 10 that's standard in English packs. What's the common/uncommon/rare distribution with the smaller packs?
Also, the last time I bought Japanese packs (which was, admittedly, back in the Gym Set days), the Japanese packs were more in line with the English packs. When was the change made? It's not a change I particularly mind (since it seems like you'd be less likely to end up with tonnes of commons like you do buying English packs), but I am curious about it.

This change was made quite a while ago now, with the Lost Link sub-set being the first run to test the pack ratios, and BW1 Black/White Collection(s) saw it put in place permanently for full sets until further notice. It's roughly: 1 holo per 3 packs; with 1 SR per 2 boxes, 1 UR per 5 boxes. Uncommon cards are the hardest to usually complete since you often only snag 1-2 per pack depending on if you get a rare or no, but depending on the set size you'll often pull 99-100% full set disregarding SR/UR cards.
But yeah, it means the boxes are quite cheap now vs. what they used to be (two boxes imported used to run me upwards of $150 since boxes were so expensive as a whole; now I can buy 4 and a bit for that) and you have less spare fodder to either a) try to sell or b) be stuck storing. Huzzah.

Ok thanks viper!
I knew they were coming out in October, I just didn't know when in October.

RE: TCG Discussion
There aren't any dice used in the Pokémon TCG. All you need aside from your decks are a coin to flip and some way to keep track of damage and special conditions. A cardboard set of damage and condition counters comes with every theme deck and also the starter decks, and Pokémon-themed coins can also be found in many blister sets of packs.
