As the protagonist of the first generation’s Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue video games which kickstarted the entire Pok\u00e9mon franchise, Red holds an iconic place within the Pok\u00e9mon canon. As such, every Pok\u00e9mon TCG which has featured him has gone on to be a megahit. The seventh-generation promotional card Red’s Pikachu is certainly no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Red’s Pikachu (SM-P Promotional Cards 270\/SM-P)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This card’s limited run is one of the main contributors to its high value. It was only available at any Pok\u00e9mon Center or the Pok\u00e9mon Center’s online store<\/a> by way of the Pok\u00e9mon Center 20th Anniversary Campaign. The campaign, as was implied by its name, was held to honor the 20th anniversary of the opening of the first-ever Pok\u00e9mon Center in 1998. It began on 25 August 2018 and ran for as long as stocks lasted. To obtain this promotional Red’s Pikachu card, all a buyer would have to do was purchase five booster packs in a single transaction while the campaign was still active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a related note, the fact that this card was a commemorative card for a major Pok\u00e9mon milestone further adds to its value. Further boosts come from the presence of Red, whose appearance plays to the nostalgia factor\u2014especially to those who have been Pok\u00e9mon fans since day one\u2014as well as Pikachu since it’s the face of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise. Red’s Pikachu is also his most powerful Pok\u00e9mon in the video games\u2014most memorably shown when the player challenges him as the final boss battle of the second-generation Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver video games and their Gen 4 remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
