Special thanks to mysterioustrainer who did the bulk of this work. I've just updated it with the recent changes.

Cards with (eff. 9/30) next to them will not be legal until that date when POP2 is officially released on 9/30/05. Cards with * next to them means that the card listed has significant outdated text from the most recently released card. Remember that you must follow the most recent version of that card. Check the card databases on http://www.pokemon-tcg.com for the most recent version of text.
