Pokémon Battle e: Series 1: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:37, 30 October 2021

Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 (Japanese: 第1弾ポケモンバトルカードｅ＋ First Shot: Pokémon Battle Card e+) is the first collection of Battle e cards. They utilize Nintendo's e-Reader peripheral. When scanned, the cards provide additional Trainers to battle and Berries to use in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire—these cards are not compatible with Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald. It is the only Battle e collection to be released outside of Japan.

In Japan, this series was released as 6 individual packs. Each pack includes a fixed set of eight Trainer cards and one special Berry card.

In North America and Australia, the series was released as 3 individual packs, each corresponding to two of the Japanese packs. Each pack includes a fixed set of 16 Trainer cards and two special Berry cards, as well as two Battle Record Cards. In English, the packs are Freezing Ray (also includes Seizing Poison), Hidden Ruins (also includes Cordial Bond), and Iron Defense (also includes Solid Armor). The Battle Record Cards still draw the same distinction as the original Japanese packs, with the back of the packaging referring to these as two "themes".

Release dates

Japan: June 27, 2003
North America: October 21, 2003
Australia: October 31, 2003

Cards

The set includes:

48 Trainer Battle-e cards
6 Berry Battle-e cards
6 Battle Record Cards

Trainers

The Trainer Battle-e cards allow the player to send Trainer data to Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Only one Battle-e Trainer can be stored in the game at a time, with their data being overwritten if new Trainer data is sent. The player can battle this Trainer in the basement of an old man's house in Mossdeep City. Some Battle-e cards allow the Trainer to appear in the Battle Tower as well.

The cards themselves depict incomplete information about the Trainers they contain. The Trainer's name and image are always visible, as are two of their three Pokémon. However, one of their Pokémon, as several of their Pokémon's Abilities, held items, or moves are hidden.

The cards are color-coded to give an indication of difficulty. Generally, bronze-level cards pose an easier challenge, followed by copper, silver and finally as the most difficult, gold.

Symbols on the cards highlight key information about the Trainer:

	The tower symbol indicates that this Trainer may also appear in Battle Tower after the card has been scanned.
	The star symbol indicates that this Trainer has a rare Pokémon in their party, or one that is not in the Hoenn Pokédex.
	The crown symbol indicates that this Trainer has Pokémon that are all at Lv. 100.

Berries

The Berry Battle-e cards allow the player to send special Berry data to Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Normally, the player can obtain the Berry from Norman at the Petalburg Gym. If the player already has e-Reader Berry data, any instances of that Berry in the game (including in the Bag, in the PC, held by a Pokémon, or planted in soft soil) are transformed when a new Berry card is scanned (instead of the player receiving it from Norman).

The player cannot enter the Cable Club Trade Center if a Pokémon in their party is holding an e-Reader Berry. Pokémon holding an e-Reader Berry cannot be traded to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, nor can they be stored in Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire. If Pokémon holding an e-Reader Berry is migrated to Generation IV game via Pal Park, that held Berry becomes an Enigma Berry.

Battle Record Cards

Each theme has a corresponding "Battle Record Card". These cards list all of the Trainers that appear in that theme, and include the names of all of the named Pokémon, with a question mark in place of their unknown Pokémon. There is a checkbox next to each Trainer, intended for the player to check them off as they defeat them.

Promotional cards

Main article: Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards → Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 & 2

Several promotional cards were released for this series, separate to those available in packs.

The first few waves of the Japanese release contained special tickets with part of a unique ID to redeem a promotional card as part of the "Let's Decorate Secret Bases!" campaign. The first 100,000 people to collect all six parts (found by purchasing the six different card packs) and send off the tickets would receive the card.

-==Trivia==
+===Battle Record Cards===
-* The Japanese release, and all subsequent Japanese Battle e releases feature "e+" to highlight that the cards are only compatible with the e-Reader +, an enhanced version of the original e-Reader with an added link cable port. All English-language versions feature "e", as the e-Reader released outside of Japan is based on the Japanese e-Reader +.
+Each theme has a corresponding "Battle Record Card". These cards list all of the Trainers that appear in that theme, and include the names of all of the named Pokémon, with a question mark in place of their unknown Pokémon. There is a checkbox next to each Trainer, intended for the player to check them off as they defeat them.
-* This collection and the [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 2|following set]] are perhaps more commonly known as ''Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Battle e'', as an indication to the games they are compatible with. Neither the Japanese nor English-language releases reference the game titles on the packaging however.
