Aquapolis
Aquapolis is the fifteenth set of cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It comes after Expedition and before Skyridge. Its symbol is a skyline within a water droplet. It is also the largest set of Pokémon cards ever released (as of February 2006).
This set is the second of three to extensively use the e-Reader: By scanning a dot code found on the bottom of all of the cards and the sides of some, the e-Reader can display patterns, produce sounds, or other various novelties. (This may be the reason why cards in the Aquapolis set are noticeably thicker than sets before Expedition.) However, none of these features are required for play. Aquapolis introduces mini-games playable by scanning in dot codes from multiple cards (in any order). These mini-games will usually be very simple, and more often than not, each Pokémon whose card has been scanned in will play some role in the mini-game.
While Technical Machines were dabbled upon in Expedition, Aquapolis is the set to make use of them. Technical Machines would be released sparingly from this point onward.
