I'm giving this thread an overhaul. Its almost done, but there are a few things I will need help with. I have a laundry list below that shows what I still need to do. If you have any information on it, please let me know!


What's Needed​
  1. Find Polish sources and online stores
  2. Find sources on CHINESE cards
  3. Find more information on Korean cards
  4. Add contributors
I've decided that I wont provide scans of each card. The representative card will serve that purpose on a smaller scale.
Welcome to the Foreign Cards Database!

The purpose of this thread is to provide a handy resource for gathering information on foreign cards and where they can be acquired. I first came up with this idea when I was trying to collect every Voltorb in each language printed, but I could not find a good place to gather information. I've done lots of research and talked to many people to help get this going. I still have a long way to go before its complete, but I hope this can be helpful to anyone who would be looking for this information.

Each language will have a representative card, a Base Set Voltorb (Magnemite for Polish), to use when trying to figure out what language your cards are in if you are unsure of where you got them. You can use various features such as the Resistance, Weakness, HP to figure out if the language matches what you see on your card. For each language, there will be a section that contains a list of all the sets printed as well as two separate sections which will focus on resources and online stores.

Suggestions are welcome, and since I am not an expert, please point out any errors in the information I provide. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!​

I can't answer from a pokemon perspective, but I can from a chinese language perspective. They would have been printed in at LEAST simplified chinese for the mainland, and traditional chinese for Hong Kong/Taiwan. It's also possible they they printed two versions of traditional, one for hong kong and one for taiwan, not sure.

Anyway there should be a simplified version and a traditional version, maybe omahanime can shed some further light on that, and if he could give me a scan of a few of his cards I could tell if they are simp/trad.

From what I can tell, that seems to be the case. It seems they were also printed for Base set as well.

Do you have any extra Japanese Voltorbs or Electrodes? :D

I am quite jealous of those Chinese cards too lol I think the Chinese language just looks so cool. What language are these boosters in? Are those in Italian, French and German?

Also, do you know any sites where I could get singles or anyone who has connections to getting cards from foreign languages? I know it will be hard, but I'd like to have at least one Torb and Trode from each language lol

Ebay is pretty good; I've been getting Dutch cards from them for a while. Japanese cards are probably the easiest to find (they even have their own category), Korean probably second. Just type in "[language] Pokemon Cards" in the search and you'll probably find at least a few.

You'd having more luck using the actual search on Ebay, especially considering that you can even specify the categories to search in. At least it's worked well for me in the past.

You'd having more luck using the actual search on Ebay, especially considering that you can even specify the categories to search in. At least it's worked well for me in the past.

I'll keep my eyes out for the cards I need, though I'm assuming I'll have to find contacts in other countries to be able to get specific cards I need lol


Oh, and I was wondering.... Do Japanese cards have a reverse holo version to them? I thought I read somewhere that they dont. Do any of the other languages print in RH like English?

French and German print reverse, I'm sure of that.
Spanish and Italian probably too.

So, I would assume that Japanese and the new Korean sets are RH as well? Perhaps the Korean 1-10 series can be RH?

Ive found RH Japanese fro HGSS on but I haven't found any from older sets. For example, the Holon's Electrode is non holo and RH in English, but in Japanese, I found it to be regular holo and non holo. There is also regular holo and RH for Dark Electrode in TRR but in Japanese I only found regular holo.
I guess its throwing me off with if Japanese has produced RH cards since the E-reader sets or if they started with a different, more recent set such as HGSS.

Omahanime, I'm not sure I've asked this before, but is the Chinese only printed in 1st edition for the Base set?

Japanese only did reverse holo for HGSS series (L1, L2, L3). Korea does not do reverse holo. The series 1 - 10 are picked out other sets. Looks like there is only 1 Electrode in Korean ( series 10). Not sure about Chinese unlimited.

Thank you very much, this has been helpful! I will update the thread to include this information if anyone needs to know that.

RE: Foreign Cards Databse in the works! Need help from around the world!

Need info on PORTUGUESE cards! Did they print cards from Base set -on? Did they just start more recently? If you have ANY information at all, this would help me with finding websites for them and for updating the database!
