Series 1 (Blue) was released on 23 March 1998. Like Series 2, it consists of eighteen numbered sheets with three cards each, plus cardboard damage counters and coins; every sheet always contains the same cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotable cards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cards are printed on glossy card stock, unlike regular matte cards, and the backs of the sheets show Pokémon from six locations in Kanto.
