Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2004, the FireRed & LeafGreen expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game was designed to celebrate the remake of the original Game Boy video games. As a Common card, number 83/112 served as a foundational element of the set, intended to capture the nostalgia of the original 1996 Kanto region experience while utilizing the modern mechanics and aesthetic sensibilities of the EX era.

The artwork for this particular Squirtle was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a staple artist in the Pokémon franchise known for his distinct, clean linework and expressive portrayals of creatures in natural habitats. By placing the Water-type Pokémon in a simple, gentle setting, Arita aimed to evoke the charm of the initial starter choice, balancing the card’s technical utility for players with a classic visual identity that appealed to long-term fans of the series.
