The Neo Discovery Pokemon Cards, released in June, 2001, Neo Discovery is the ninth set of cards from the Pokemon Trading Cards Game. It comes after Neo Genesis and before Southern Islands. Its symbol is a Mayan temple. The Neo part of its name is Latin for “new,” since this set features Pokemon considered new during its release.
While the architectural structure of the ruins is ambiguous in the video games Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, in Pokémon 3: The Movie, they seem to be of Central or South American origin. Neo Discovery premieres many second-generation Pokémon into the card game, such as Smeargle, Politoed, and Wobbuffet. In a way, this makes it a counterpart to the Jungle set (which introduced another third of the original 150 Pokémon).

The Unown are a Pokémon themed on the English alphabet. At the time of Neo Discovery’s release, there were 26 types, one for each letter. (Later, Unown ? and Unown ! would be introduced, bringing the total to 28.) Neo Discovery introduced nine of these Pokémon into the card game. Each could affect the game in different ways related to a word starting with the letter the Unown represents. Unown “O” is associated with the word observe, and this application in the card game is done through “observing” the opponent’s deck.
