Honestly it makes little sense for Italian cards to be printed in the US. Maybe that’s why Pokemon packs are CRAZY expensive in Italy? The TCG literally cannot take off. There is a reason why Magic is the most popular TCG in Italy.

Part of those logistics doesn’t make sense. Why are the Italian-language cards printed in the US instead of Belgium? Why not print Spanish- and French-language card there as well?
Also, today I learned that the cards are available in Thai and Indonesian as well.
