Where it came from
The Bulbasaur card, numbered 01/78, was released as part of the Pokémon GO expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in July 2022. This set was a collaborative release designed to celebrate the global popularity of the mobile application developed by Niantic. The inclusion of core Pokémon like Bulbasaur served to bridge the aesthetic of the mobile game's augmented reality map with the traditional tabletop trading card format.
The card features artwork by artist Shibuzoh, who opted for a clean, digital style that complements the sleek interface of the Pokémon GO mobile app. While the card is a standard common rarity, its design is noted for its high-contrast rendering of the grass-type starter, which contrasts with the more stylized or illustrative approaches found in other contemporary sets. It was received by the community as a functional and recognizable entry-level card, serving primarily to introduce players to the mechanics of the commemorative expansion.
