Where it came from
The Squirtle card numbered 29/149 was released as part of the Boundaries Crossed expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in English markets in November 2012. This set was notable for integrating cards from the Japanese Black & White era expansions Freeze Bolt and Cold Fire, focusing heavily on the aesthetic shift introduced by the fifth generation of the franchise. It served as a functional piece within the game, allowing players to utilize the iconic Water-type starter in competitive decks during the early Black & White competitive cycle.
The illustration for this particular card was produced by artist Midori Harada, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a soft, painterly style that emphasizes the character's natural environment. Harada sought to capture Squirtle in a serene, aquatic setting, consistent with her broader work that often focuses on the gentle interaction between Pokémon and their habitats. While as a common card it was widely accessible to players rather than a pursuit for high-end collectors, it remains a recognized example of the TCG's sustained artistic direction during the transition into the modern era of the game.
