Chinese Pokémon card collection tracker
Pokémon cards are printed in two kinds of Chinese. Simplified Chinese cards are made for mainland China, and Traditional Chinese cards for Taiwan and Hong Kong. They have different sets and different release dates, and many cards exist in only one of them.
Gumdex keeps the two separate, so you can collect either one or both, next to your English and Japanese cards.
Simplified Chinese cards
More than 10,000 Simplified Chinese cards are listed, including sets made only for that market and a long run of promos. Each set keeps its Chinese name, such as 收集啦151, and its own numbering.
Traditional Chinese cards
About 6,000 Traditional Chinese cards are listed, from sets that mostly follow the Japanese releases, such as 寶可夢卡牌151.
On the same page as your other cards
A Pokémon’s page shows its cards in all four languages by release date, each marked with its language. Tap a language to see only its cards. Chinese cards fill Living Dex slots like any other, and the set checklist works the same way for a Chinese set as for an English one.
A Chinese-only list
Each list is its own collection, so your Chinese cards can live in a list of their own.
Ultra lets you limit a list to Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or both, so only those cards count. How to earn it
Photos and prices
Some Chinese cards do not have a photo yet. If you own one, you can send a photo or scan from the card’s page, and once it is approved everyone sees it, with credit to you. You can earn Ultra with 5 approved photos.
Market prices cover English and Japanese cards for now, so Chinese cards show no price. You can still record what you paid.
