==Set size==
==Information==
*18 cards in English release
In Japan, the Southern Islands set was initially released with the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]] in two promo folders, each with 9 cards per set (Rainbow and Tropical Island) and decorated artwork. The collection was also released as 3-card box sets. These box sets focused on a particular region from one of the two Southern Islands: Tropical Island and Rainbow Island. The English version came as a decorated folder and included the cards, postcards and 3 booster packs. Even though Wizards compiled the collection into one set, all of the original artwork including the islands and the full picture of each region (which was split into three to provide the card art) were featured on the folder.

===Trivia===
*17th July 1999 - Japanese Promotional Set
*[[Image:SetSymbolSouthern IslandsENG.png|thumb|right|The English set symbol]]While in the Japanese version the cards have the old Base-Rocket design, the English release saw them in a Neo series design. Interestingly, this made the [[Generation II]] Pokémon featured in the set the only ones of their generation to have Base-Rocket-styled cards, and {{p|Slowking}} the only non-Generation I evolved Pokémon to have had a square evolution box. Later card releases would retain the circular evolution box, with the exception of another Slowking card - {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Hama-chan's Slowking|promo}} - which was released about a month later.

==Trivia==
==Languages this set is released in==
* This was a very desired collection when it first came out in Japan. Fans pestered [[Wizards of the Coast]] enough and after a lot of work, they eventually released it.
The Tropical Island and Rainbow Island sets are exclusively released in Japanese, only available in unlimited edition. The Southern Island set was only released in English.
* None of the cards have rarity symbols, as they are part of a fixed set. The English cards were numbered in the same fashion as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}}, while the Japanese cards remained unnumbered.

The Southern Islands Collection (Japanese: サザンアイランド Southern Islands) is the name given to a special set of cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Information

In Japan, the Southern Islands set was initially released with the second Pokémon movie in two promo folders, each with 9 cards per set (Rainbow and Tropical Island) and decorated artwork. The collection was also released as 3-card box sets. These box sets focused on a particular region from one of the two Southern Islands: Tropical Island and Rainbow Island. The English version came as a decorated folder and included the cards, postcards and 3 booster packs. Even though Wizards compiled the collection into one set, all of the original artwork including the islands and the full picture of each region (which was split into three to provide the card art) were featured on the folder.

Trivia

  • The English set symbol
    While in the Japanese version the cards have the old Base-Rocket design, the English release saw them in a Neo series design. Interestingly, this made the Generation II Pokémon featured in the set the only ones of their generation to have Base-Rocket-styled cards, and Slowking the only non-Generation I evolved Pokémon to have had a square evolution box. Later card releases would retain the circular evolution box, with the exception of another Slowking card - Hama-chan's Slowking - which was released about a month later.
  • This was a very desired collection when it first came out in Japan. Its English release is a rare example of a promotional TCG product that has retained everything, including its original artwork, after localization.
  • None of the cards have rarity symbols, as they are part of a fixed set. The English cards were numbered in the same fashion as Wizards Black Star Promos, while the Japanese cards remained unnumbered.
  • The set symbols of the Japanese and English releases are different, with the Japanese symbol as one block colour, while the English symbol is striped along the trunk of the tree.
