Nintendo is set to release two new packs of Pokemon playing cards in Japan next month. Regularly tracing the line between its company roots and video games, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire playing cards will be exclusive to Japan when the two beautiful packs release this March for approximately 500 Yen, excluding tax.
The blue and red packs join the previously released Pokemon X and Y cards from 2013, and feature Jirachi as the Alpha Sapphire joker with Deoxys posing as the Omega Ruby Joker. According to the official page, the final Hoenn starter evolutions and the story’s main legendary Rayquaza will model as Kings. There’s probably zero chance of bagging a shiny, however, unlike the trading card game where fans have a slightly better chance.
Some of those designs are amazing!
I would learn to play poker just because of these cards.
I hate poker…
Why? You mad because you can’t make a poker face.
Really? You are telling ME how I cannot make a “poker face”?…
Alright…
Yes I am. Robots can’t make facial expressions
That’s why we have the best Poker Faces ever…
And that is also why you guys have the most ugliest faces as well.
We don’t bother ourselves with such a primitive nature…
So you are admitting that you are ugly right?
Everyone can see that I’m terrifying…
You’re not to terrifying if playing captain toad relaxes you.
Cute pets that will be Ingfied soon enough…
This is the most disgusting thing I’ve read this month…

An Xbot that hits wives and makes games for Xbox Done…
Yeah it is. lets go fucking murder this prick.
Would you even play a game made by kanye west.
I don’t even like reading things about that stupid ape…
I get disgusted by such primitive apes like him and Justin Beaver…
Oh figures and Justin bieber?
Probably even worse…
I got so disgusted when our empire gave him a temporary job…
Wait Nintendo gave Justin bieber. Fucking when, where, and why would they give him a job.
1:58 and beyond…
Oh and…

Your point?
That’s self-explanatory…
Lol what a joke. And that’s not really a job. Its kind of a hey Justin put yourself with all these products so they can sell job.
Is it weird that when I was a kid that I never actually played with Pokemon cards like the trading card game, I just basically used them as figures lol.
Nope. I couldn’t never figure out how to play the card game. The video game is so better.
The card game is really fun actually.
No, it was cool when I was a kid, but when I look back, the game is really stupid and makes no sense when compared to the games and the T.V show.
It’s like there are three Pokemon universes. The cards are one, the show is another and the games are the original universe.
nope there are like 5
the card univers
the anime univers
the origins anime univers
the main game univers
and the pokemon adventures univers
When I was in Japan in 2013 I saw the Black and White set. I stupidly didn’t get them and now they’re rare
The thing about these cards is that there’s no reason not to release overseas. They could still be used to play a nice game of poker… I hope they do eventually release overseas soon but not by the time Pokemon Z is out or whatever lol
Japan not only gets better events but even better cards than everyone else. XP
Looks like Japan is Nintendo’s STRONG SUIT!!
…geddit
I really like these playing cards! Maybe I will import them!
