    Cool that a dual-type Pokemon (which were BIG in Gen 3 TCG) got some love in the Celebrations Classic collection!

      And yet, not a single E-Reader card was featured in this subset. I wonder why? Maybe because they didn’t want to do the special textured appearance on the E-reader data strip? Or maybe because the data bars would’ve been confusing to young players who never used the GBA?
      “Celebrations” was released in Thai, Korean, and Indonesian–all languages that weren’t part of the globally-localized TCG until 2016/2017. Leaving out E-reader cards was, perhaps, a choice to make this set more inclusive to these East/SE Asian players.

        Legal issues, presumably. The dot code technology had been licensed from Olympus, and I imagine they still have the rights to it. As we saw with EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua, even if barely any of the cards in your set have dot codes, you have to credit (and presumably pay royalties) to Olympus on each pack anyways. I imagine if even a single card in Celebrations had a dot code on it, they would have to pay royalties to Olympus as if every single pack had a dot code card in it.

          It’s also worth pointing out the Japanese side of this, too: none of the Gen 3 sets in Japan had dot codes. The only block of the TCG that didn’t get represented with a reprint was the e-Card era; the 5 “e-Card” sets which featured dot codes, and VS and Web which featured similar card template sans the dot codes. Since Lance’s Charizard V is a Basic, it’s reminiscent of how the Pokémon VS set handled Owner’s cards, and arguably that’s your representation for the era so it didn’t go entirely overlooked.
