Provenance

Where it came from

The Starmie card was released in 1999 as part of the inaugural Pokémon Trading Card Game Base Set, which introduced the franchise to Western markets. Designed to mimic the mechanics of role-playing games, the set was localized by Wizards of the Coast following the immense popularity of the Game Boy titles. Starmie, a Water-type Pokémon, was presented as a common card, serving as an accessible entry point for players building their first decks.

The artwork for this card was provided by Keiji Kinebuchi, a long-standing illustrator for the Pokémon TCG. Kinebuchi utilized a distinct, textured digital style that defined the aesthetic of early cards in the series. The design emphasizes the creature's geometric, starfish-like anatomy, placing it against a simple, vibrant backdrop that was characteristic of the minimalist visual language employed across the common cards of the first generation.
