Black & White TCG Series merchandise: Difference between revisions

Following the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, a plethora of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] products was released, featuring new Pokémon from the [[Unova]] region and new card mechanics that would define the game for several years. The following is a list of the merchandise released during the Black & White Series of the Trading Card Game.

==Sneak-Peek Tins==

The first items released during the Black & White Series were the '''Sneak-Peek Tins'''. Available from March 9, 2011, these tins introduced the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to the TCG. Each tin featured one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]]—{{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}—in the form of both a promotional card and a figure. The cards were derived from the Japanese {{TCG|Journey Partners}} collection and the figures were exclusive Kaiyodo sculpts for release outside Japan. Each tin included four booster packs, ranging from the Platinum Series to the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, and a special Preview Pack containing five Common cards from the upcoming {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion: {{TCG ID|Black & White|Lillipup|81}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Patrat|78}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Purrloin|66}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pidove|84}}, and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Sandile|63}}.

==Black & White Theme Decks==

With releases complementing nearly all prior main expansions, {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s continued to be an integral part of the localized TCG in the Back & White Series. Three Theme Decks were released on April 6, 2011 to promote the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion ahead of its launch, which collectively focused on the final [[evolution]]s of [[Unova]]'s [[first partner Pokémon]]. The {{TCG|Green Tornado}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Serperior}}, the {{TCG|Red Frenzy}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Emboar}}, and the {{TCG|Blue Assault}} Theme Deck featured {{p|Samurott}}. Each deck included a paperboard sheet of damage counters and status markers, a {{TCG|coin}}, a large fold-out sheet with a playing surface for two players on one side and playing rules on the other, another sheet with a summary of new features for the Black & White Series on one side and a Black & White card checklist on the other, a deckbox, and a code card to unlock a digital version of it in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]].

Accompanying the premier expansion of the Black & White Series on April 25, 2011 was a variety of blister packs.

Both designs came in three varieties, each one including one of the three [[Unova]] [[first partner Pokémon]] as a promotional card, three {{TCG|Black & White}} booster packs, a Black & White Sampling Pack containing three Common cards from the set, and a {{TCG|coin}} featuring the Unova first partner Pokémon.

The {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s for the first three expansions of the Black & White Series were all released weeks ahead of their general sale; however, the pair associated with the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion were released on February 8, 2012 in tandem with the set's launch. {{TCG|Explosive Edge}} and {{TCG|Voltage Vortex}} respectively featured the two main [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Unova]]—{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}—and were both packaged with a sheet of damage counters and status markers, a {{TCG|coin}}, a 2-player playamt and rulesheet, a sheet covering the new {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} for the expansion with a Next Destinies card checklist, a deckbox, and a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] code card. The deck's featured Pokémon were included as Tinsel Holofoil cards instead of traditional Cracked Ice Holofoil cards.

==Next Destinies Blisters==

Released together with the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion, various blister packs hit store shelves on February 8, 2012. In an unprecedented move by [[The Pokémon Company International]], the blister packs for North America began to include different assortments of products compared to those for release in other markets. The clamshell Three Pack Blisters, released internationally, came in two varieties: one with an exclusive Cosmos Holofoil {{p|Riolu}} promotional card, and one with an exclusive Cosmos Holofoil {{p|Luxio}} promotional card. These Blisters included three Next Destinies booster packs, and a {{TCG|coin}} featuring {{p|Munna}}.

The North American blister packs, on the other hand, came in four varieties: two featured a {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon|Stage 2}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]], and two featured a {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon|Stage 1}} evolutionary family. The Stage 2 Blisters contained either the {{p|Klinklang}} family or the {{p|Gigalith}} family, all of which were Cracked Ice Holofoil, and came with a coin and two Next Destinies booster packs. The Stage 1 Blisters contained either the {{p|Zoroark}} family or the {{p|Beartic}} family, with the final stage as a Cracked Ice Holofoil, and were packaged with one standard Next Destinies booster pack, a 3-card Sampling Pack, and a code card to unlock either family in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]. The enclosed Sampling Pack was typically from Next Destinies, but could be from an earlier Black & White Series expansion.

==EX Tins==

A set of three '''EX Tins''' was released on March 21, 2012 that showcased {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} cards following their debut in the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion.

Aside from their collection number, they were the same as their original Next Destinies prints. Each tin was also packaged with a {{TCGO}} code card and four Black & White Series booster packs (typically one {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, one {{TCG|Noble Victories}}, and two Next Destinies).

==Dark Explorers Theme Decks==

The {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion brought with it two {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s: {{TCG|Raiders}} and {{TCG|Shadows}}. Raiders featured the Coffin Pokémon, {{p|Cofagrigus}}, while Shadows featured the Illusion Fox Pokémon, {{p|Zoroark}}. Their showcased cards returned to featuring the Cracked Ice Holofoil, after those from the {{TCG|Next Destinies}} Theme Decks featured the Tinsel Holofoil. Each deck included a sheet of damage counters and status markers, a coin, a 2-player playamt and rulesheet, a card checklist and summary sheet, a deckbox, and a code card for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]].

==Dark Explorers Blisters==

{{anchor|Dark Explorers Three Pack Blisters}}

{{bulbanews|PokéCollection reveals Dark Explorers merchandise}}

Various blister packs were released in stores on May 9, 2012 to promote the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion. Continuing the pattern set by {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, blister packs distributed in North America had different contents to those distributed in other countries overseen by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. The international Three Pack Blisters came in two varieties: one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil {{p|Luxray}} promotional card, and one with a Cracked Ice Holofoil {{p|Krookodile}} promotional card. These blisters were enclosed with three Dark Explorers booster packs and a {{TCG|coin}} featuring {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} first released in the Next Destinies {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s.

The North American blister packs came in four varieties: two featured {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon|Stage 2}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary families]], and two featured {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon|Stage 1}} evolutionary families. The Stage 2 Blisters contained Cracked Ice Holofoil versions of either the {{p|Luxray}} family or the {{p|Krookodile}} family, in addition to a coin and two Dark Explorers booster packs. The Stage 1 Blisters contained either the {{p|Persian}} family or the {{p|Lucario}} family, with the final stage as a Cosmos Holofoil variant, plus a standard Dark Explorers 10-card booster pack and a Dark Explorers 3-card Sampling Pack. These blisters provided North American audiences an opportunity to obtain the Luxio and Riolu promotional cards previously available in the international {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Next Destinies Blisters}}; however, the two did not feature the Cosmos Holofoil treatment, making both releases contain exclusive cards.

In North America, Dark Explorers was the last expansion to feature this style of Stage 2 Blister, with subsequent expansions returning to utilize the clamshell Three Pack Blisters used prior to the change with Next Destinies. Similar blister pack configurations would be used in {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Black & White Two Pack Blister|later products}}.

Following the October 2011 {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Reshiram Box|Reshiram}} and {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Zekrom Box}}es, the collection of [[Tao trio]]-centric promotional boxes was made complete with the release of the '''Kyurem Box''' in June 2012.

==Emboar/Serperior/Samurott Boxes==

A trio of boxed products with similarities to the {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Starter Figure Boxes}} was released in July 2012, these boxes focused on the final evolutions of the [[Unova]] [[first partner Pokémon]]. The '''Superb Serperior Box''' contained a Cracked Ice Holofoil variant of {{TCG ID|Black & White|Servine|3}}, a copy of the {{TCG|Green Tornado}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}}, a {{p|Serperior}} figure previously released in the {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Evolved Battle Action Tins}}, and two booster packs. The '''Excellent Emboar Box''' came with a copy of the {{TCG|Red Frenzy}} Theme Deck, a Cracked Ice Holofoil version of {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pignite|17}}, a sculpted {{p|Emboar}} figure complete with base, and two booster packs. The '''Spectacular Samurott Box''' was similarly packaged with a Cracked Ice Holofoil variant print of {{TCG ID|Black & White|Dewott|29}}, a {{TCG|Blue Assault}} Theme Deck, two booster packs, and a {{p|Samurott}} figure. The booster packs available in each box were typically one each of {{TCG|Call of Legends}} and {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}.

==Dragons Exalted Theme Decks==

{{bulbanews|Dragons Exalted decks to feature Hydreigon, Garchomp}}

{{TCG|DragonSnarl}} and {{TCG|DragonSpeed}} were the two {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s released together with the {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} expansion on August 15, 2012. Much like the equivalent Japanese expansion, the accompanying decks focused on the Brutal Pokémon {{p|Hydreigon}} and the Mach Pokémon {{p|Garchomp}}, both of which represented the {{TCG|Dragon}} {{TCG|type}} that made its localized debut in the expansion. Each deck was packaged with a sheet of damage counters and status markers, a {{TCG|coin}}, a 2-player playamt and rulesheet, a sheet with a Dragons Exalted card checklist and information on the new Dragon-type Pokémon cards, a deckbox, and a {{TCGO}} code card.

Early retailer images incorrectly featured {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Hydreigon|97}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garchomp|90}} as each deck's showcased card instead of the actual {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Hydreigon|98}} and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garchomp|91}}. Both were included as exclusive Cracked Ice Holofoil cards.

The Stage 1 Blisters contained either the {{p|Excadrill}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|family]] or the {{p|Lilligant}} family, with the final stage appearing as a Cosmos Holofoil card. All were sourced from the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion except Lilligant, which was a new {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos|BW Black Star Promo}}. Each Stage 1 Blister also included a Dragons Exalted booster pack and a Dragons Exalted Sampling Pack.

Each portfolio has 10 pages, in turn allowing 180 cards or 80 cards to be displayed.

The month of August 2012 saw the release of another promotional box set—the '''Double Album Box'''. This product included two Black & White Series mini-collector's albums capable of storing up to 60 cards, three exclusive variant cards, and five booster packs sourced from the HeartGold & SoulSilver, Call of Legends, and Black & White Series. The variant cards were prints of {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pansage|7}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pansear|21}}, and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Panpour|33}} from {{TCG|Black & White}} featuring the {{TCG|Energy}}-themed Parallel Holofoil pattern introduced in the subsequent {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion.

The '''Legendary EX Tins''' featured alternate-art prints of three of the most popular {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} at the time: {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}}, and {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza-EX|85}}. Each tin included four Black & White Series booster packs—typically two {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}}, one {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, and one {{TCG|Black & White}}—and a code card that could be used to redeem a digital version of the respective promotional card in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]]. The tins were listed for release on September 12, 2012; however, they were released in some countries as early as August 15 alongside the Dragons Exalted expansion.

==Emerging Challenges Box==

The '''Emerging Challenges Box''' was released on September 18, 2012 and focused on earlier expansions from the Black & Whte Series. Each box was packaged with one of the four {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s from the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} and {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansions ({{TCG|Power Play}}, {{TCG|Toxic Tricks}}, {{TCG|Fast Daze}}, or {{TCG|Furious Knights}}), a pair of booster packs—one from {{TCG|Black & White}} and another from either Emerging Powers or Noble Victories—plus Holofoil prints of the {{p|Stoutland}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary line]]. The {{p|Herdier}} and Stoutland cards were Parallel Holofoils sourced straight from the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion, while the {{p|Lillipup}}, which features the same Parallel Holofoil treatment, was a new {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos|BW Black Star Promo}}.

The Lillipup promotional card originated from the {{TCG|Battle Strength Decks|Cobalion Battle Strength Deck}}, a deck released in Japan 19 months earlier. The other Pokémon cards from the deck were localized in the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion 13 months earlier, so it is unknown why the card was withheld for such a long time. Ironically, the card features a 2011 copyright instead of a 2012 copyright.

==Black & White Variety Blisters==

Along with the {{TCGMerch|Black & White|Series|Emerging Challenges Box}}, the '''Black & White Variety Blisters''' were also released in stores on September 18, 2012. These blister packs contained three random booster packs from the first three Black & White Series expansions—{{TCG|Black & White}}, {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, and {{TCG|Noble Victories}}—as well as an exclusive Holofoil promotional card. The two possible cards comprised Mirror Parallel Holofoil variants of {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Meowth|80}} and {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Scraggy|67}}, both of which could only be obtained in the {{TCG|Energy}}-themed Parallel Holofoil prior to this product.
