Where it came from
The Froakie card from the Kalos Starter Set was released in late 2013 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's introduction to the sixth generation of Pokémon, debuting alongside the Pokémon X and Y video games. This set was designed to familiarize new players with the mechanics of the Kalos region, featuring the three new starter Pokémon—Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie—at the forefront of its promotional materials.
The artwork for this specific card, rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, highlights the nimble and agile nature characteristic of the Bubble Frog Pokémon. Saitou has been a long-standing contributor to the franchise, known for his clean, expressive style that aims to capture the personality of individual Pokémon within a simple, dynamic setting. The card was well-received by players and collectors alike as a accessible entry point into the new meta, serving as a functional staple for early X and Y era decks.
