Provenance

Where it came from

The Magmar card from the Expedition Base Set was released in 2002 as part of the first Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion to incorporate the e-Reader technology. This set marked a significant shift in design, moving away from the classic layouts established by Wizards of the Coast toward a style that allowed for data-scanning functionality, featuring a dot-code strip along the left side of the card.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by artist Kagemaru Himeno, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon franchise known for her emotive and often whimsical depictions of creatures. In the context of the Expedition set, her design for Magmar emphasizes the creature's fiery intensity while adhering to the updated, slightly more sterile graphic standard necessitated by the inclusion of the e-Reader utility, which prioritized gameplay mechanics over the purely illustrative focus of earlier sets.
