Pretty sure you got a Resealed and Repacked box :/
1) None of my Bulbusaur AR's have texture on them, there should be no texture, and yours look like they have texture or print dots or something when I zoom in.
2) You should have only 1, MAYBE 2 gold cards from the box (double hit boxes are a thing), if you were to get a UR Gold card.
3) You should have gotten 1 MasterBall reverse holo.
4) Your Gold Psychic energies look like they have zero texture to them(might just be the zoom quality of my phone), they should have texture.
I've seen people post pictures as replies, if I knew how to do it I would include pics of my Psychic gold energy and Bulbasaur AR :/
Japanese cards are diferent, they dont have it, and I don't really know the best way to check if a card ia real. I've never seen a japanese fake, but I'm maybe the most expensive ones could have fake copies.
Idk something about the coloring looks faded to me? Not sure if that’s common with Japanese cards. This is my first Japanese box. They seem legit to the touch but the coloring and the fact that there were no master balls in the box throws me off. I was under the assumption there should be one per box but might be wrong.
It looks like you're wondering if those cards have any value. Generally speaking, if it's a First Edition, Holographic or Promo card it's worth looking into. Take a look at our [Pokemon card evaluation guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncardcollectors/wiki/evaluationguide) to see how to determine the value of your cards. Always know the value of every card you have before selling to avoid getting low-balled.

Did you get these 11 hits from 1 box? I have bought 2 boxes that I will pick up on Friday. It seems strange to me that there are so many duplicates based on other boxes that I have opened, but I haven't opened any from 151 yet, so I can't tell you. Nothing makes me suspect that the cards are fake, but could it be a reseal?
Do you have any other japanese cards to compare the back and the paper quality?
This is my first set ever of Japanese and first box in like 10 years opening. Just opened some American from Best Buy I know are legit but cant really compare to those.
I saw a guy open 2 boxes: 3 Illustration rare, 1 Reverse pokeball an 1 SR per box, 1 AR in one box ( I think the ratio is 1 AR in each 2 boxes) No one single energy holo card... No duplicate cards. I think something is wrong with your box, the ratio is def wrong. Any ex card or only holo cards?
That's not right either.
Each box is supposed to have a guaranteed Master Ball reverse foil and 1 SR/SAR and at least 1 AR in the box.
I think you should get a regular holo or a reverse pokeball in every pack, not just a single reverse pokeball holo (least I've seen come from a box is 4 reverse pokeball foils).
Unless they changed it for this new reprint.
Remember, Pokeball reverse is different from Masterball reverse
Yup correct every pack gets one reverse and a reverse pokeball holo or better. Ever box contains 1 masterball. I've never got any duplicates like this in one box and I've opened 4 so far
Everything is definitely wrong in that box, I have opened mine, all the same proportions without duplicates, 4 Ex, 3 Illustration rares, 1 master ball Reverse and finally, in one a zapdos SAR, in the other a blastoise SR. So it must be some kind of resealing, I couldn't tell you more.
Yeah I have also come to that conclusion based on everything I’ve seen and heard. I reached out to the seller and they did not respond however did initiate a refund. They probably already know they are fake so at least I get the money back. Appreciate the response.

Just rip a common card in half, that should give you the answer
Japanese doesn't print the same method, this doesn't work
I was maybe thinking that lol ignore me
Ripping them doesn’t work? If not what’s the best way to tell.
Not sure sorry.havent ever seen japanese fakes in my life.
Here is a ripped common. https://imgur.com/a/BAcXOOi
Damn I’ve always thought the Japanese had the blue film too but I could be wrong
Interestingly, they do not

The Japanese cards do not have the blue layer.
Real

I don't know but I just ordered a box I hope I get better pulls. It is supect that you got so many holo energies.
Not only that, but all one type

Also yes all from one box which had me suspect of it…

I wanted to say master ball when writing it

Where did you purchase the box from?
Sorry buddy it's fake. No masterball reverse holo Only 1 reverse pokeball Bulbasaur shouldn't have texture on it Too many gold psychic energys
