Pikachu [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Pikachu is part of Neo Genesis, the first English Pokémon TCG expansion to introduce Johto-era Pokémon and Baby Pokémon, giving this common card a place in one of the hobby’s most historic Wizards of the Coast releases.
Set Lore
The English Neo Genesis release arrived on December 16, 2000, so a 1st Edition copy of Pikachu #70 comes from the very first print wave of that landmark set.
In-Game
Pikachu was created by Atsuko Nishida and finalized by Ken Sugimori for the original games, which makes any early-era Pikachu card feel tied directly to the roots of Pokémon itself.
Artist
Neo Genesis Pikachu #70 was illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, an artist whose work appears across many classic Pokémon cards and is especially familiar to collectors of vintage WotC-era artwork.
Cultural Impact
Because Pikachu is the franchise mascot, even a common like Neo Genesis #70 carries outsized collector appeal as an early English-era card featuring Pokémon’s most recognizable character.
