Thankfully, I had a freind that made it to E3 and was able to get images of all 109 english version cards in the EX Ruby & Sapphire set. I'll be posting Exclusive images off all the cards at the Pokémon Labs next Sunday (hopfully) as a special Post-Super BattleZone treat. But in the meantime, I have a sneak of one of the Cards for everone to see... Sneasal ex!
You can view the image HERE or HERE as well as a small article.
Note!: Read Sneasal's second attack for the set's very first known missprint. ![[Wink]](../tcg/wink.gif)

Why does the Beat Up attack have 20x when it says it does 10 times the number of heads?

So much for the Ex Pokemon being really good.
[EDIT- Just noticed, isn't it kinda weird he has a weakness to FIRE?]

These cards are AWFUL! ![[Dubious]](../tcg/graemlins/dubious.gif)
They seems to be really fake...
Not only they keeped the japanese layout of the cards (which is not a real problem, it look good), but...
The HP font is wrong (japanese font is the same as Wizards', and these cards uses Gill Sans).
The effect text is in Arial (?!?)... why?
The resisatance is near the "resistance" word, as in Japan...
And they used the golden border as Card-E have... I preferred the silver border...
I hope these scans are from a test catalog... I hope these are only prototypes... If not, it's a bad bad thing for nintendo.
And the new card-e contents are ONLY Pokédex info... are they joking? Have I to pay more only for Pokédex infos?

Isn't ANYONE familiar with the term "prototype"?? Speaking of which, this better be a prototype, because I see at least 4 errors.
The Japanese Sneasel EX translates to:
Sneasel EX [80 HP] (Basic Darkness Pokemon)
[D] Double Scratch (10x Damage) Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.
[DDC] Beat Up (20x Damage) Flip a coin for Each of your Pokemon. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.
WEAKNESS: Fighting
RESISTANCE: Psychic
RETREAT: C
46/55 Ultra-Rare-Holo #357 [Ryo Ueda]
If you can put 2 and 2 together, the errors are:
1. Double Scratch attack is supposed to have the coin flip and 10x damage.
2. Beat Up is supposed to do a coin flip for each Pokemon you have.
3. The font used for the attack is wrong, unless Nintendo intends to use Arial/Helvetica for all game text.
4. The weakness is supposed to be Fighting.
I just hope that Nintendo doesn't decide to change the game text for all the cards in this way. This just better be an error associated with the nature of prototypes.
---------
So Great Fox, can you clue us into what the 109th card is? Is it Rainbow Energy?

Nick: it is surely a prototype card... Like these Card-E sample (if they are real...)
An attack called Double Scratch without "Double"? Impossible.
Beat up is too reworded to be the final version.
And the "ex" word too is not the same as japanese version...
Surely these are only to demonstrate how EX:Ruby&Sapphire will look like.. During E3 there isn't really much people who knows the ADV layout or the Wizards' layout.
- 1 month for the EX release... so we'll see shortly (hopefully) some final scans...

Also is it me or does the e-barcode seem a little too close to the edge of the card? I mean, if they could have had the boarder that close to the edge of the card in the first place, why didn't they make the boarder on card-e smaller? Just something to think about I guess...

Didn't I read that the Sneasel-EX scan was taken from the cover of the E3 catalog or something??? That may answer many questions...

OK... First off... Yes, the scan was taken from Nintendo's Special E3 2003 Catalog. It also shows scans of the Cards for the three Starters (I'll post tem up as soon as I scan them). Stangely enough, they have different artwork and different Attacks than the ADV ones.
However, in small text in the catalog, it does say that "Actual Cards and foil packaging may appear different than those shown here." So they might still change them. Of course, with only less than a month 'till there release, it dosen't look like they might.
Also, I'm not even sure what the 109th card is (if there is one) my freind still has to look through all 1Gig of photos he took for the photos of the cards. But don't worry, if he finds them sooner he'll send them my way and I'll let you all know and even post them sooner than promised.
Now to scan the starters and tease you them even further! ![[Devilish]](../tcg/graemlins/diablo.gif)
And now, here they are... as I mentioned earlier. The three Starters - Torchic, Treecko, and Mudkip - in card form:

Actually no; those are the correct attacks for those cards. There were TWO different cards made for each starter Pokémon, like in Genesis.

At least, in the starter cards, they used the correct font for effects (though the HP is always wrong... and weakness/resistance/retreat cost are so little...°_°)!
I don't like this gold border too...
The boosters are the same as Wizards', and they looks cool.
But these cards are not cool as the japanese counterparts ![[Frown]](../tcg/frown.gif)

Hmm, if it was in a printed catalog, it had to be written far in advance to get to the printers in time (why most things appear outdated in Magazines or why companies have to be given information earlt enough before the general public gets word on it).

There are two possible answers to why the weakness is Fire instead of Fighting:
1. The usual Fire/Fighting mix-up.
Fire and Fighting both start on the letter F, and unless you remember to call fire R (short for Red, like in Mtg) it has the same name shortened. This causes mix-up, like on Team Rocket's Dark Vileplume error.
2. Sneasel does have Fire weakness on the Game Boy
Yes, it does. Sneasel isn't just a Darkness Pokemon, it's Dark/Ice (Darkness is called "Dark" on the games for some reason). So on the Game Boy games, fire moves can melt any Sneasel. We could see a Water version of Sneasel on the TCG anytime, like we saw with Jynx (she's Ice/Psychic).

Well I believe Sneasel EX is not the only EX pokemon in thus set.
According to some info, the cards for the first Nintendo set comprises the ADV1 and ADV2 in Japan. Based from the spoiler of ADV1 and ADV2, there are six or seven EX pokemon all in all. ![[Smile]](../tcg/smile.gif)

ADV1 had 8 EX-Pokemon in all. ADV2 has maybe like... 3 or 4.
The English-ADV1 will not be a mix of ADV1 and ADV2. ADV1-in-Japan had 100 cards, not including energy. ADV1-in-English has 109 cards, which is 100 cards plue 8 energy cards and 1 secret card. Hmmm....
