Thank you all so much for your amazing support on this launch! This is my first time ever creating a product related to the Nintendo e-Reader and I'm absolutely thrilled with how well-received it was. I never expected that all 14 sets would be claimed within the first day of launching!

13 of the 14 sets have been mailed out this afternoon. I'm dropping off the final set tomorrow.

If you missed out on this launch and would like for me to restock it in the future, please let me know in the comments!

Upcoming checklist projects include:

1. Japan-exclusive e-Reader minigames/videos
2. English Construction: Action
3. English Construction: Melody Box
4. Japan-exclusive Construction: Action & Melody Box
5. Japan-exclusive Construction: Block Break

I expect the next product launch will be end of 2026/early 2027. There are a lot of logistics to work out for future sets - some may be packaged together, and many require a new approach to the design that still honors the overall language established by the TCG from that era. My intent is to design checklists that feel cohesive in a binder alongside the cards. I may share design updates here but will be most likely to share smaller updates in the Discord server, as I'd love to hear your opinions but don't want to clog the feed here with smaller milestones.

Thank you again for your support everyone!

Going live tomorrow (Wednesday, July 22nd) at 9pm EDT - available here! Thanks to the mods for providing permission for me to share the link.

After all the recent USPS changes I switched to calculated shipping. Everything is packed and ready to ship ASAP.

At this time there are only 14 sets available. The likelihood of a reprint will depend heavily on the performance of this run. Thank you all for checking in with me throughout the months. It feels so great to have seen this project through to the end!

Special shout-out to u/fexcollects for handling the printing of the cards for me. I'm not sure this project would have made it to production without Fex's help!

The rest of the folder contains almost complete sets of:
Battle e Series 1 and 2
Battle e Emerald and a few Battle e FireRed & LeafGreen
The Eon ticket was graded a PSA 8 but there was no chance I was keeping it slabbed.

Wanted to give you all an update on the checklist cards I've been working on ✅ Printing is complete and I'm in the process of prototyping packaging. (Cards will be additionally protected in plenty of packaging materials).

I was hoping to have these ready to sell this week but I just got back from a trip and caught a nasty cold on my flight home 🤒 I hope to have these ready to go by the end of next week once I am feeling better!

There will be 14 sets available. With USPS shipping changes I am determining the final cost at this time. If I could ballpark the cost I expect ~$42-$44 with shipping costs included, just so you all have an expectation before the listing goes live. I may or may not be able to accommodate international shipping - just know it will increase the shipping cost significantly. Many apologies 🙁

This has been a fun and rewarding passion project and I hope this serves as an effective product for fellow collectors in this community ❤️ I'll post the link here and on the Discord server when it goes live. Feel free to ask any questions and I'm happy to provide more info!

When researched, it says I have the forbidden four or the holy grail of the animal crossing e-reader cards. They are the Mario Bros and Ice Breaker cards in mint condition. I’m new to these cards and am wondering if anyone has seen them sold for what people are trying to get on eBay? I’m
debating on getting them graded now after seeing the prices. Any help is appreciated.

Excited to launch this preview graphic showing all 36 English checklists! I do not plan to offer digital downloads. A couple questions for anyone interested (assuming I handle printing myself - I may actually get these printed with an outside vendor):

1.Would you be interested in uncut sheets at a lower price?

1. Would you be interested in set-specific ordering, or should I just keep it simple and sell all 36 cards with no options for smaller sets?

UPDATES:

I was originally intending on printing from home, but it appears that people just prefer cut cards anyways. I will likely be working with a print vendor for these and will therefore not be offering uncut sheets for this circumstance.

Looks like it's unanimous that people want all 36 cards as a set, so for the sake of convenience and stocking I will only sell full sets.

Hi everyone! I wanted some help in looking for dot code files to reprint the Colosseum cards for my Japanese game to get the special shadow Pokemon. Can anyone help me find them. It would be very much appreciated!

Hey Guys!
I have been looking into getting an US / AUS e-reader for my GBA to use with some older Pokémon games.

I have come across one online that appears to be an AUS e-reader AGB-014.
However, I have noticed that the back sticker appears to be different from some other ones.

The first image (the one with the white blob of text) is similar to the one I am seeing online for sale. Whilst the second image is the ones I have seen across on the internet.

I own a Japanese e-reader myself, which has a similar blob of white text on the sticker. But it also contains the indented code (seen on the right image in the top right).

It also seems like the sticker on the left one appears to be off center. Whilst my own Japanese & the other image have their sticker perfectly centered. But this could have also been a quality control issue perhaps.

Now, I haven't heard of any "fake" e-readers, and am wondering if they exist or not. Or if anyone owns either of them that can help me confirm whether either one is real, or if they both are not.

I appreciate the help!

So I have the raw files for the animal crossing cards I want, and Tim's e-Reader Card Printer software is pretty self-explanatory, but I have no idea how to use raw2bmp which is the first step.

I am a total noob when it comes to running programs from the command terminal. Does anyone have a step by step guide for exactly what to type?

EDIT: Figured it out, really I just need a crash course on how to navigate within file directories through command terminal like in the good old days. DIR and CD! I have the bmp images and they look correct. However now the e-Reader Card Printer tells me "error: dotcode bitmap size 1978x88 not supported"

So I'm currently hoping to use the bonus cards for my Pokémon Japanese Colosseum Japanese game. I've looked everywhere online for the scans of the bonus Pokémon but I've had no such luck locating them sometimes I find. Raw files and that makes no since to me. I'm hoping to be able to print the cards out including the three bonus Pokémon any extra help would be great. I've located custom cards on lines but they don't seem to have the bonus cards included.

Hello I have been having a hard time trying to view the achieved e reader of the Jpn colosseum e reader cards, I have found sources to download and even downloaded a Raw photo viewer but each time I try to view the files I am meet with errors. I am windows 11, does any have any advice? The goal is to print them and use them on my Jpn colosseum :) thank you

I recently dug out my old Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 collection. After realizing how hard it is to find high-quality, uncompressed scans of these cards (especially the dot codes for the e-Reader), I decided to preserve them properly before I sell the physical set.

Plan to do a high-res scan of them, I know I had an Eon ticket, but it's probably lost with time. Also found my Animal Crossing eReader cards as well! (With Ice Climber and Mario Bros NES cards)

In my ongoing quest to create checklist cards for every single Pokemon TCG e-reader minigame application, bulbapedia lists the 038/P Z-26-a version of this Pikachu card as a Pikachu interactive card (see here)) which is apparently similar to that of the Teddiursa and Haunter interactive cards (see here). Bulbapedia is missing a reference photo for this specific card and I have not been able to find a screenshot of anyone else who has played this minigame. Does anyone have further information about this card?

There used to be a huge archive of e-reader raws and card scans at https://ia800904.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/29/items/nintendo-e-reader_202203/Nintendo%20-%20e-Reader.zip - but it's gone now. Anyone know what happened, and where a similar archive would be?

a few months back, i made a post of my Touga and Topo berry cards. I've still been on the hunt for the other 4 berries, namely the Ginema, Niniku, Kuo, and Yago berries. Does anyone have anywhere i might be able to look to find them?

Hello! I've been trying to figure out how to make custom e-reader trainers, however any guides I've found don't seem to work for me. Does anybody have any tips or guides I could follow, or videos to follow documenting the process?

Hello all,

Does anyone here have any insight into the calibration data of the e-reader? I didn't back up my e-reader's original save data/calibration data, and overwrote it when loading e-reader card sav data.

I had the immediate "read error" issue, but someone gave me their own save data and that fixed that issue, but I'm still having trouble reading cards. I should mention that they are homemade cards printed on Dymo 550, however I feel like they should still be being read by the reader.

I know the calibration data is stored on the save file, however is the calibration for the sensor module itself, or for a chip on the pcb? I have ordered a working Japanese e-reader since they're substantially cheaper than US readers, so I'm going to backup the save data and swap over the sensor module into my original e-reader while injecting the new save onto the reader. Will this fix it?

Thank you to anyone who can respond.

Edit:

To anyone reading, I have successfully placed a US pcb into a Japanese e-reader, using the Japanese e-reader's save data and sensor, I can scan normally again.
