    Hi, guys. Few days ago I found these cards at home. They are probably 15 years old, maybe more than that. I was wondering if any of you knew the set(official or not) from which these cards come from. I'm from Europe(Lithuania specifically). It might have been some sort of promotional thing, not sure, hope you can help.

    here's the pic:

    Those are fake cards, sorry.

    Except Japan's cards were in Japanese, not English.

    Sorry to say, but these are 100% fake bootlegs, probably made in China. If these were a real, official product, it would say "Type" instead of "Force", Kabutops's "Force" would be Water/Rock instead of just Water, Dugtrio's "Force" would be Ground instead of "Sand", Marowak's "Force" would be Ground instead of "Bones", the measurements would be in US Imperial Measurements (Feet, Inches, Pounds, etc.) rather than in the Metric system because all English cards (official TCG cards and the Topps licensed movie cards) were printed in bulk for the US market and then shipped elsewhere (if I recall correctly, anyway), the energy symbols would not look flat and would instead look like they were made using a 3D modeling program on the computer and then stuck on the card template, Dugtrio would not have the Grass-type symbol on its picture and would instead have the Fighting-type symbol, they would not have any HP markings, and these cards would have a different card back since Wizards of the Coast held the rights to the non-Japanese card back for the Trading Card Game back in the day. These also look like they were printed on playing card stock rather than on the specific stocks used by the various licensed Pokemon Card printers (off the top of my head Wizards of the Coast and Topps both had licensing rights for their own collectible Pokemon cards, though only Wizards handled the printing of the cards for the TCG itself).

    Tl;dr: Bootleg fakes. And poorly done at that.

    Did I get too wordy there?

    Thanks, guys, for all your input. Still, any idea, where I could get something like this ? Obviously I doubt that they are on the market, but maybe I could get some left overs somewhere ?
