Provenance

Where it came from

Released in September 2002, the Expedition Base Set marked a significant shift for the Pokémon Trading Card Game as it introduced the e-Reader compatibility feature. Developed by The Pokémon Company and Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to integrate physical cards with the Nintendo Game Boy Advance e-Reader peripheral, allowing players to unlock additional game data, Pokédex entries, and mini-games by scanning the dot-code strips printed on the card borders.

The artwork for this Pidgey, card 123/165, was rendered by illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive, clean style has been the cornerstone of the franchise's visual identity since its inception. While Pidgey was a standard common card, its inclusion in the Expedition set reflected the transition toward more detailed, illustrative backgrounds that characterized the post-Base Set era of the hobby, emphasizing the creature's natural habitat.
