Provenance

Where it came from

Released in January 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this Tentacool card represents the final major release of the e-Card Series in the English language. The set is distinguished by its unique design integration, featuring barcode strips along the side of the cards that, when scanned through the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral, unlocked game data, animations, or specialized mini-games, marking an ambitious experiment in bridging traditional card collecting with digital interactivity.

The artwork for this particular card was produced by Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive, clean aesthetic has defined the Pokémon franchise since its inception. While a common card, the Aquapolis set is highly regarded by collectors today for its technical design advancements and its role as a bridge between the classic Wizards of the Coast era and the subsequent Pokémon Organized Play transition. Its reception has grown significantly over time, with the e-Reader series now recognized as a highlight of early 2000s trading card innovation.
