EX Ruby & Sapphire (Japanese: 第1弾拡張パック Booster Pack 1) is the name given to the first expansion of cards of the EX Series era of the Trading Card Game, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design, which would remain in use for nearly four years.

Information

  • This is the first set to be produced by Nintendo after transferring the Pokémon TCG license from Wizards of the Coast.
  • This was the first set to introduce Generation III Pokémon to the TCG from the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games. This is also where the expansion and theme deck names originated.
  • The English prefix "EX" refers to "extra", as in the extra power the newly introduced Pokémon-ex bring to the game. This is the first set to feature Pokémon ex.
  • The Japanese prefix "ADV" refers to "advanced", as in the new generation of Pokémon brought to life with their release onto the Game Boy Advance. It is possible this is where the names for the anime series Pokémon Advanced, and the following seasons Advanced Challenge and Advanced Battle originated.
  • The card layout was once again changed with the release of this set: -
    • The borders became thinner and only supported room for one Dot-Code bar at the bottom. The Japanese card borders changed to a silver color while the English remained yellow.
    • The cards were presented with a new circle pattern, which features on the left side of the card.
    • The character window and evolution graphics changed from gold to silver and the Illustrator name moved from the bottom left corner to the bottom of the character window.
    • In the English release, the Energy symbols for attacks are smaller and are presented linearly (as the Japanese cards have always featured), as opposed to stacking them in columns.
  • In Japan, this was the first set to have preconstructed half decks released alongside the main set, a new trend in Japan intended for quick and competitive play. Unlike the English theme decks, the half decks had their own symbol, numbering system and included cards exclusive to that Half Deck. For the English release, the cards exclusive to the Half Decks were combined with the cards in the main set.
  • The set appeared in late 2006 in Spain translated to Spanish. Before that, only the original three sets and the Neo Genesis set in the TCG had been translated.
  • A gap was created due to Wizards of the Coast combining e-Card 2 and e-Card 3 to form Aquapolis, and combining e-Card 4 and e-Card 5 to form Skyridge. Therefore, the English releases were two behind in number.
