Pok\u00e9mon Centers, the Pok\u00e9mon-centric stores at which all manner of Pok\u00e9mon products including an array of Pok\u00e9mon TCG items are sold, have been pillars of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise ever since the first one opened in Tokyo in 1998. To honor the 15th anniversary of the opening of the very first Pok\u00e9mon Center, Creatures Inc. released this promotional Pikachu card in 2013 as part of the Pok\u00e9mon Center 15th Anniversary Premium Card Set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Pikachu (BW-P Promotional Cards 229\/BW-P)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The card’s illustration is relatively simple: it features Pikachu in front of a monochrome lightning bolt background. Of course, the lightning bolts refer to Pikachu being an Electric-type Pok\u00e9mon. The color scheme, meanwhile, refers to the fifth-generation main series Pok\u00e9mon video games Pok\u00e9mon Black and White as well as their sequels Pok\u00e9mon Black 2 and White 2; this card was released close to the end of Gen 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding to the card’s value is its status as a commemorative card as it was launched in honor of a notable Pok\u00e9mon milestone. This card is actually a promotional reprint of a previously-existing card; this same Pikachu card was part of Black Collection [BW1] and White Collection [BW1]; however, neither of those original versions have anything near the value that this card does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
