Jungle (TCG)
Jungle (Japanese: ?) is the name given to the first expansion of new cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Set size
64 in North America, 48 in Japan
Jungle was originally 48 cards big in Japan, however in North America it was expanded to 64 cards since Wizards of the Coast decided to make non-Holographic versions of the rares (which were originally holos).
Sequence
2nd set in North America, 2nd set in Japan
Release date
June 16th, 1999 in North America; ??? in Japan
Jungle was originally planned to be released in North America around August (and rumored as late as October), however since Topps was releasing their Pokémon trading cards early in the summer, WotC decided to push Jungle far ahead of schedule to June 16th. Within two weeks, 1st Edition Jungle was nowhere to be seen. Unlimited Jungle was released shortly thereafter.
Miscellaneous
- The 1st Edition print run of Jungle also contained the extremely rare 1st Edition Promo Pikachu #1. Word is that there was 1 of these to every 10 boxes. If you have it, hold onto it. Or sell it for a lot of cash!
- Proof of then-MediaFactory's mismanagement of the game begins early; there is only one Psychic Pokémon in the set, Mr. Mime. Not to mention all the rares were holo. It's amazing how the secondary market in Japan survived to begin with.
Theme Decks
Water Blast and Power Reserve.
