Where it came from
This card was released in 2017 as part of the SM Black Star Promos set to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon anime film series. It was specifically distributed to commemorate the release of 'Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!', a cinematic reimagining of the early episodes of the original series that explores the origin of the bond between Ash Ketchum and his partner Pikachu.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, who has been instrumental in defining the visual language of the franchise since its inception. The design captures the nostalgic aesthetic of the anime's first season, depicting Ash and Pikachu in a dynamic pose that emphasizes their partnership. Upon release, the card was well-received by fans and collectors who appreciated its clear homage to the core narrative of the long-running television show.
