Beginning Set (TCG)
The Beginning Set (Japanese: はじめてセット) and the Beginning Set for Girls (Japanese: はじめてセット forガール) are the second release of cards in the BW era of the trading card game. This is the first time that card releases have split products based on gender. The two sets will be released on October 29th, 2010, followed by Deluxe (DX) versions of the sets to be released on November 20th, 2010. The sets will contain three half decks, damage counters, a coin, a play mat, as well as how to play DVDs and manuals. The cards differ from the Beginning Set and the Beginning Set for Girls: the girls' set contains cards with a "cuter design."
