The Southern Islands Collection is one of the most distinctive releases in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Released in 1999 in Japan and internationally in 2001, this 18-card promotional set featured tropical-themed artwork, beautiful panoramic scenes, and Pokémon from both the original 151 and the then-new Johto region. The cards were sold in special binder collections and are highly sought-after by collectors today.
One of the set’s most notable features is its panoramic design: each group of cards fits together to form a larger image when placed side-by-side. This artistic approach, combined with the set’s limited release and unique theme, has made Southern Islands one of the most desirable promo sets in the hobby.
