How to tell which series Pokemon cards belong to?

  • How to tell which series Pokemon cards belong to? My son got a giant stack of Pokemon cards on his last trip to Japan which were all mixed up in a box. Some are old and some are new. Some in Japanese and some in English and many from many different series / decks. On the bottom right there they all have an X of Y numbering, but how can I tell which belong to which deck / series? Most have the circle, star, diamond which determines the rarity. Some, but not all, have an additional symbol which I am guessing might be the series. Is there a nice web site which maybe shows all series, English and Japanese for both Nintendo and Wizards?

  • Answer:

    I basically play the pokemon tcg every day. Just for some background. The additional symbol is the set symbol. go-pokemon.com has a card-dex, as does pokebeach.com I would say pokebeach's is easier to navigate. Also if you don't want to bother looking them up, if you scan them I can tell you what set they're from.

Try http://www.serebii.net/TCG/Base/ The other sets are down the side bar. You should be able to tell the difference between the new Nintendo cards and the older WotC cards - they are quite different in style on the front, though not the back. All the sets up until and including the 'Neo' sets are WotC. After that, Nintendo.
