Where it came from
Persian (42/144) was released in 2003 as part of the Skyridge expansion, the final set produced by Wizards of the Coast for the Pokémon Trading Card Game before Nintendo transitioned the license to The Pokémon Company International. This set is notable for its integration with the Nintendo e-Reader, featuring dot-codes that allowed players to unlock data, animations, or mini-games when scanned using a Game Boy Advance peripheral.
The artwork for this card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic. Saitou’s depiction of Persian captures the sleek, feline elegance characteristic of the species, rendered in a style that was emblematic of the early 2000s transition toward more dynamic and textured character illustrations. As an uncommon card from one of the most highly sought-after sets in the hobby, it remains a nostalgic piece representing the culmination of the Wizards of the Coast era.
