What a deck box is for

Sooner or later, a deck of sixty sleeved cards held together with an elastic band ends up on the floor. A deck box keeps everything together, protects the edges, and fits in a bag. Japanese and western Pokémon cards have the same standard size of 63 × 88 mm. How many cards fit in this deck box depends on the model and the sleeves used.

What “Write a Report” means

In the Japanese Pokémon games, saving your game isn’t called save but “writing a report” — レポートをかく. The prompt “Will you write a report?” is the last thing you see before switching off the console, and for anyone who grew up with these games in Japanese, that line is pure nostalgia. In July 2021 the Pokémon Center built a whole design line around it, drawn by picture-book artist and comic illustrator Noriyuki Echigawa, in a soft, hand-drawn style.

The matching sleeves from the same line are also available here. Another Japanese design is Battle Start!.
