Yup! I've got the entire ADV Spoiler. Loosly translated, but all in all complete.

http://www.fakecard.com/tcg/adv1/spoiler.txt

The set in all is probably the best set I've seen in a LONG WHILE. VS and most of the Card-E cards were utter crap, and it seems ADV 1 has totally made up for it!! For once I'm actually looking forward to a set! Good times.

My pick of the litter? Guraena (#48/55), perhaps the first ever attack that can force your opponent to discard a card from their hand. Do I smell a new Discard Deck idea? [Wink]

Give it a look, and discuss.

The set does really look good. Thanks for the spoiler!

Update; You know those EX cards? So far I've found a Mewtwo EX and Electabuzz EX. After translating them, I noticed that they're almost like previous versions of the Pokémon, only better. Like Electabuzz EX is like Base Electabuzz, only it does extra damage.

AAAAAAHHHH.... so THAT's what all that "EXtra" business is about. I get it now.

yeah, i've noticed that too, i've seen the ex chancey and his first attack i don't know what it does, but the second i can assume the attack does 80 damage and chansey does 60 damage to itself. the bad part is it has 3 retreat cost instead of 1. I have also seen the ex sneasel, if ex means better, imagine an improved version of neo genesis sneasel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Dropjaw] it would be banned even before the set came out!!!!!!! [Bounce]

Thanks for the (semi-)spoiler, Nick!

EX means

EXTRA HP
EXTRA DAMAGE
EXTRA RETREAT COSTS
EXTRA WEAKNESS

The good points:
- more damage for less energy
- you get less faster knock out
- good attacks

The bad points:
- hight retreat costs (that problem can be solved with balloon berry or switch)
- two weaknesses, hopefully you dont get that pokemon as your defending pokemon, but I'll think that problem can also be solved in serveral ways)
- Because it is an Ultra Rare Holo, you will have a big chance that you may have only one of the same EX pokemon in your deck Just as shinnings.

I saw some EX cards up front. I saw the ruling, there's a number "2" in it, so me thinks you're limited to 2 of them per deck, perhaps?

The other EX cards don't have Double Weakness though. Just that Tyranitar. But it only has a Doublt Weakness to offset its 150 HP (which I hope TPC doesn't get into the habit of doing).

Other ADV Info;
55 Cards (12 Commons, 12 Uncommons, 12 Rares, 14 Rare-Holos, 5 Ultra-Rare-Holos)

Knowing Wizards, the EX Pokemon will be at most Medium Rares when they're released.

*looking at the Pokéschool /Zeo scans of Mewtwo EX*

I'm crazy... or in this scan the (P) required for the 1st attack is missing?!?!?!?!?

It's an error.. Or there is an attack that does not require any energy to be used?!?!?

This may be a little off topic but, does anyone know where to find translations for E-4 and E-5?
Thanks in advance.

Oh, and not to be outdone; I've also got the spoiler for the three 30-card preconstructed decks too. (That's where all the missing Basics were for the Starter Pokémon);

http://www.nick15.com/advprecon.txt

That's just about all of it. I learned that there are 100 original cards total in ADV (not including Energy), and that there are 8 total EX cards. They are Scyther (Jungle?), Magmar (Fossil), Lapras (Fossil), Electabuzz (Base), Hitmonchan (Base?), Mewtwo (Movie Promo), Sneasel (Neo Genesis), and Chansey (Base). Good times. [Big Grin]

BTW, Mewtwo EX has a few errors; a couple of the Energy symbols are missing from the card (it's missing a Psychic energy symbol for its first attack and a colorless one for its second attack). Hehehehe. [Wink]

And you're quite QUITE welcome. [Smile]

The Lapras EX card sounds good yet I can't get over the fact it has 110HP! Definately an improvement from fossil I think. Not too sure on the Magmar though...
How many holos are there in each deck?

Hmmm... well, for anyone who still says Sneasel isn't broken, theres your proof. From what I can see in Nick's spoiler, Sneasel didn't change a bit, except for gaining a darkness weakness, which in turn makes him weakner, rather than stronger, as "EX" Pokemon are suppose to be. [Dubious] ... oh, and he got 20 more HP. Big whoop.

His attack requires one more Energy, which is a drawback. But I still think all EX cards are "just for fun" and "not for play use" like Birthday Pikachu.

OMG half of these cards are just SO broken. If that Mewtwo is like it is in the spoiler...that's just like wh0a...

A BASIC Pokemon with a "Gust of Wind" power...

Hiking Trip might be useful if it isn't changed to say "Basic" energy...

Bashyiimo...auto energy search...
Raguraaji...extra H20 attachment...
Peribaa looks like it's just so powerful...
Buzz is more powerful but seriously weakened by that extra energy cost...another chance for Rogue...but it doesn't hit itself, either
Mewtwo EX is just SICK.

That Chansey + Metal is just sick and wrong...

--------------------
What, like the pro-archetype attitude is supposed to be restricted to THIS company, and THIS TCG?
All card games run on archetypes. Magic is 90% archetypes. YGO is 90% archetypes. Pokemon was, for the most part, all archetypes before and during MF2. Pokemon will be archetype-based during MF3. Pokemon will be archetype based when it is under Nintendo.

Viva la unoriginality!

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU,

"EXTRA POKEMONS" HAVE AN "EXTRA RULING" ON IT:
THE EXTRA RULING WAS THAT IF THE "EX" POKEMON IS KO'ED, THE OPPONENT CAN TAKE 2 PRIZE INSTEAD OF 1.

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME WHETHER IT IS TRUE, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU, IT IS A FACT!

HOPE HELPS [Razz]
