Pokemon is B(l)ack (and White)


Now I'm sure all our biggest fans are well aware that I'm a bit of a Pokemon anorak. If you weren't, you won't know how excited I am about the release of Black & White across all the various Pokemon guises.

There's a new series of the anime (and it started in real style last weekend), the new console games (I've still to get my hands on a copy, but it wont be long) and (where the shop comes in), the new trading cards.

This week, we have the first Pokemon Trading Card release of the Black & White era, and it's a little bit special. The Black & White Sneak Peek tin contains what you'd normally expect in a Pokemon tin - there's four booster packs from previous releases. But then it gets good. Each of the three tins contains a 5 card promo from the new Black & White Generation, then there's the shiny card which features one of the brand new starter Pokemon - Oshawott, Snivy or Tepig, PLUS you get the starter Pokemon on the shiny card in figure form too. Uber-cool.
