Hi.
Was wondering if you could list what American promo cards are out at this
time and what their numbers are.
thanks,
Ed
Well, it was about time that we update our English Promo List. So,
without further adieu, here is the list of all the American Promos and the
sources from which they came:
#1 - "Ivy" Pikachu.
This card was the first Promo Card to be obtained through the Pokemon League
#2 - Electabuzz
#3 - Mewtwo
#4 - Pikachu
#5 - Dragonite
These cards could be obtained by purchasing a movie ticket to "Pokemon:The
First Movie" and came sealed so you did not know what you were
getting. Alternately, they were available with a qualifying purchase at
all Warner Bros. Stores for a while.
#6 - Arcanine
This was actually the thrid Promo Card to be released through the league,
despite being numerically 2nd. Rumors say that #6 was not going to
originally be Arcanine, but rather a Mewtwo. Seemingly due to some
complications at WotC, this never came to pass, and probably is the reason that
card #6 was released after both cards #7 and #8.
#7 - Jigglypuff
This is one of the harder Promos to obtain. It was available only
though a mail-in certificate when you purchased the Pokemon Movie
Soundtrack. The offer was limited to one per household, making this one of the more
sought-after promos.
#8 - Mew
Identical to it's Japanese Fossil twin, this Mew was the 2nd Promo released
in the League.
#9 - Holographic Mew
Functionally identical to the non-Holo Mew, it was the 4th Promo Card
released in the League - just harder to obtain.
#10 - Meowth
This card could be obtained by buying the Pokemon TCG Game Boy Game.
#11 - Unknown at this Time.
#12 - Mewtwo
The April 2000 issue of Nintendo Power offered this Mewtwo to it's
subscribers. Not easily obtained due to it's limited release.
#13 - Venusaur
The Official Strategy Guide from Nintendo for the Game Boy TCG Game held
this card inside it.
#14 - Mewtwo
Completely identical to Movie Promo #3, but with alternate art. This
card could be obtained by purchasing Pokemon:The First Movie on Video.
#15 - Cool Porygon
Probably the most expensive Promo just due to how it had to be
obtained. This card could only be obtained by purchasing the N64 Pokemon
Stadium bundle pack.
#16 Computer Error
This is the newest card available in the Pokemon League.
As of right now, that is all the Promos that are presently out. I'm sure there are plenty more in the mix, though.
