Where it came from
Released in 2002 as part of the Expedition Base Set, this Squirtle card represents a significant shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the end of the original Wizards of the Coast design era, Expedition served as the first set in the E-Card Series, which introduced the ability to scan cards into a Nintendo Game Boy Advance using the E-Reader peripheral to unlock mini-games and Pokédex data.
The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura, who opted for a clean, digital style that was emblematic of the transition toward the modernized layouts seen throughout the E-Series. While common in rarity, the set itself is notable for its unique card frame, which featured expanded borders to accommodate the data-scanning strips required for the E-Reader functionality, a design choice that remains a distinct hallmark of this experimental period in the franchise's history.
