5 facts about this card
Card History
This is Bulbasaur’s original English TCG appearance from Base Set, the landmark release that brought the Pokémon Trading Card Game to the United States on January 9, 1999.
Set Lore
Bulbasaur #44 is part of the historic Base Set run that defined the look of early Pokémon cards, and this exact artwork was important enough to be revived again for later commemorative products like the Kanto First Partner Pack and Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the founding visual architects of the Pokémon TCG whose work has appeared on hundreds of cards since the game’s earliest days in Japan.
In-Game
For collectors, this card carries extra weight because Bulbasaur is Pokédex #001 and one of the original starter Pokémon from the first Pokémon video games, giving it a true 'beginning of the franchise' aura.
Cultural Impact
Bulbasaur’s popularity has long been reinforced by Ash’s Bulbasaur in the anime, a fan-favorite partner whose long run with the main character helped generations of viewers grow attached to the species.
