Neo Revelation (TCG)

Neo Revelation (Japanese: めざめる伝説 Awakening Legends) is the name given to an Expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It completed transferring all the Generation II into card forms.

Wizards of the Coast ceased pre-planning timed releases for cards around this date.

Information

 * The English title, Revelation, is one of two Biblical references in the TCG; the other one is TCG Neo Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are the first and last books of the Bible, respectively. The name Revelation may also refer to this being the set that included the last of the Generation II Pokémon which had not yet become cards.
 * As with TCG Neo Genesis (Neo 1) and TCG Neo Discovery (Neo 2) in Japan, Neo 3 had a 9 card promotional set&mdash;Wizards added these cards to the English set.
 * Neo Revelation was the first set to introduce TCG Shining Pokémon to the TCG: Shining Magikarp and Shining Gyarados. These quickly became very sought-after cards, and some American collectors paid over $250 for the Japanese versions before their English release. In Japan, the odds of finding one of these elusive cards in a Booster Pack were stated to be 300:1.
 * Neo Revelation was also the first set to not have Preconstructed Theme Decks associated with the expansion, something that would not be seen again until the release of TCG Legendary Treasures.
 * The inclusion of in this expansion initially would appear to be a strange move&mdash;the last time TCG Dark Pokémon were seen in the TCG before this set was the TCG Team Rocket expansion (though  enjoyed its Japanese release in TCG Neo Discovery (Neo 2)). Rocket's Hideout would prove useful, however, as Dark Pokémon returned in the TCG Neo Destiny (following set).
 * The set symbol for Neo Revelation is an abstract representation of the Legendary beasts departing from the Burned Tower.
 * The Japanese title of the set, 'Awakening Legend', is curiously similar to the later-released series titled in English as 'TCG Legends Awakened'.
 * Until Neo Revelation, not all 251 Pokémon had been released in the booster sets.
