Provenance

Where it came from

The Chikorita card from the Expedition Base Set, released in 2002, marked a significant turning point in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was the first set to introduce the e-Reader compatibility, allowing players to scan cards through a Game Boy Advance peripheral to access mini-games and Pokédex data. This shift was designed to bridge the gap between digital console gaming and the physical card game, reflecting the era's focus on interactivity.

The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist known for her soft, watercolor-inspired approach to Pokémon character design. In this piece, she aimed to capture a tranquil, natural aesthetic consistent with the Grass-type classification. While the card is a common rarity, it remains a notable piece of history for collectors as it represents the debut of the updated card layout that would define the e-Card series era, characterized by the distinct data-rich borders along the left and bottom edges.
