Provenance

Where it came from

Released in September 2002 as part of the Expedition Base Set, this card marked a significant transition for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was the first set to feature the e-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan the card's dot-code strips through a Game Boy Advance accessory to unlock mini-games and Pokédex data. This shift was intended to modernize the card game by integrating digital functionality with physical collecting, reflecting the era's push toward hybrid gaming experiences.

The card features Mewtwo, the legendary psychic Pokémon, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno, a long-time contributor to the series, employed a detailed, polished style that emphasizes the character's imposing presence. While the Expedition set initially faced a mixed reception from traditional players due to the card layout changes—specifically the removal of the iconic 'Pokémon Power' text in favor of 'Pokémon Powers'—the holographic treatment of this card remains a quintessential example of early 2000s holographic design.
