Japanese Unlimited E Series 1 Cards (Base Expansion Pack)

Thanks regardless for keeping track of them thus far. It’s pretty interesting how at least 4 copies of the known cards have emerged thus far. It’s also interesting that there are only 15 known cards, which seem rather random if we look at the Pokémon-e Starter Deck and Base Expansion Pack set numbers:

Set/Deck Number Pokémon Amount seen thus far Remarks
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 002/029 Bulbasaur 4
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 005/029 Chikorita 12
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 009/029 Charmander 4
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 010/029 Charmander 6 Jusco lottery for GB2 (unlimited card as consolation prize)
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 011/029 Charmeleon 12
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 013/029 Cyndaquil 10
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 022/029 Totodile 6
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 023/029 Croconaw 5
Pokémon-e Starter Deck 024/029 Feraligatr 9
Base Expansion Pack 007/128 Ponyta 1000+ Magazine promo
Base Expansion Pack 016/128 Pikachu 8
Base Expansion Pack 028/128 Clefairy 10
Base Expansion Pack 029/128 Meowth 7
Base Expansion Pack 079/128 Charizard 20
Base Expansion Pack 082/128 Pichu 25

What I mean by ‘rather random’ is: Why for example both Charmander, but no Squirtle? Why Feraligatr as final evolution, but none of the other final gen 2 evolutions? I’m curious whether we’d see any other cards than the ones above emerge eventually. And if not, why only these cards were chosen to be distributed. Then again, why is only the Ponyta a magazine promo could be one of the questions as well tbh.

But cool that we’ve at least received some more info in terms of this GB2 lottery at the Jusco in Sapporo, as well as a lottery in Fuji Grand Natalie.
I’m still on the lookout for one of these Pikachu cards, though. :sob:

Greetz,
