2012 Pokemon Black and White Boundaries Crossed Set – History

Boundaries Crossed is the seventh main expansion of the Black & White Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It is the first Pokémon trading card game set based on the games Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Also, it is the seventh overall of the Black and White series.

This set officially introduces the Pokémon, both Black and White Kyurem. It brings in Landorus in its Therian form. We see Meloetta, and Keldeo. This set continues the trend of reintroducing Pokémon from the previous generations.

The Pokémon-EX cards in this set are Celebi, Keldeo, Cresselia, Landorus, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem. A new special holofoil Item card, known as Ace Spec cards, is part of this set (4 of them in this set). 4 Secret Rare cards (“shiny”), reprinted from earlier sets, are in this set. Examples are Golurk – Dragons Exalted and Terrakion – Noble Victories. Others are Altaria – Dragons Exalted and a golden Rocky Helmet – oble Victories. Finally, we have 3 new full-art supporters, Bianca , Cheren, and Skyla. The theme decks are “IceShock” (Black Kyurem) and “ColdFire” (White Kyurem).

It basically follows the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, featuring Generation V Pokémon. The English expansion delighted collectors on November 7, 2012.

Boundaries Crossed introduced ACE SPEC cards, a classification of Item cards. These cards were incredibly powerful and have limits like 1 ACE SPEC card per deck. ACE SPEC cards have Holofoil on the card border, the name strip, the ACE SPEC text, the ACE SPEC game rule box, and the background of the artwork. The TRAINER or TRAINER’S text is the color red.

Several new Formes of Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are prominent in the expansion. Kyurem appears in both of its new Formes, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Keldeo appeared in both its Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. The new Therian Forme of Landorus also appeared in the expansion. Many of the Pokémon included the Pokédex entries from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Bianca and Cheren sported their Black 2 and White 2 outfits.

Boundaries Crossed is the first set for Secret cards to feature golden Holofoil card borders. They also utilized the special etching featured on Full Art cards.
