Awsome, the artwork looks really great in this format. But the deck features 52 artworks, so I guess they stole from another source too.

I added another item. It is a sticker from the Topsun Advanced Generation. Does anyone know the year of release?
Big thx to @Captain_Corsola 
057: [YEAR?] - Topsun Advanced Generation
Here is the whole list of not fully identified items, maybe you have additional information to one of them?
Not fully identified
001: [YEAR?] – EasyCard (Taiwan)
- @bbobrob :
- [year?]
- I think 001 says “Flying Pikachu Project” in the bubble letters"
- The EasyCard is a convenience card that’s used in Taiwan for a number of things (often used for public transportation, but you can use it at some vendors too, like convenience stores).
Here’s CGC’s gradeable Traditional Chinese EasyCards, where you’ll see the “Flying Pikachu Project” card. And adhere’s a listing for another Pokemon-themed EasyCard from Taiwan.
002: [YEAR?] – Nagatanien Variety Stickers No. 48: Count Seals
- @Julius19 : Nagatanien stickers

Perhaps that is good enough? For No. 48, the words under it (in black and white) say “count seals” and No. 46 says “special move seal 2.”
004: [YEAR?] – [Media Factory Patchins?]

- @bbobrob : "the words read “Pokemon Stadium.” There was a Stadium and Stadium 2 set. The boxes containing the cards also call them N64 cards (see below). Not sure what company made them (I would guess Kyodo, since they very much resemble the other mini cards, but no evidence to support this).

Hello, there’s no year on the sticker, nor on the actual booster packs unfortunately. My guess is that whenever there’s no apparent copyright year on the item or packaging, it means they were sold during multiple years, that way no need to reprint the sets when the year changes.

Thanks for your answer, great information. 
But do you really think they planned a multi-year reprint/release and therefore left the year blank? I’ve wondered for a long time why certain collectibles are missing the year, and this could be an explanation — even though I don’t think it really was a consideration for a simple sticker set like this. And even more so if this was the first and only sticker I ever came across from this particular series.

It seems like the Nagatanien (永谷園, a Japanese food manufacturing company) Variety Stickers are from an ochazuke (お茶漬け) Pokemon-themed meal bag, from sometime in 1998-2000(?).
Here’s some advertisements that show the stickers and the meals:
From 1998 (stickers at 0:11) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2yBAai8e8s. (There’s more advertisements on YouTube from 1999 and 2000 if you search up “永谷園 お茶漬け ポケモン”),
Nagatanien’s website also dates the Pokemon-themed furikake releasing in 1998: 沿革｜会社情報｜味ひとすじ 永谷園 Furikake is similar, but not quite ochazuke, however. Also, from pictures online, it looks the stickers would fit perfectly inside the ochazuke bags, but not the furikake boxes.
There’s also a news report dated from 1998 on the growth of the company due to the Pokemon tie-in, which mentions the ochazuke: 永谷園の「ふりかけ、お茶漬け」が好調、「ポケモン」群が寄与 - 日本食糧新聞・電子版
I didn’t see the specific stickers you had, but it looks to be from the same series. Other Nagatanien items are likely to also be distributed as an extra bonus with food.

Welcome to the forum! I really thank you for sharing such great insight with your first post here. Maybe there is any chance to see something of your collection too? I know it would be highly appreciated by the community. 
I watched the video and slowed down the speed, but also did not see the stickers I have in my collection. Nevertheless, the design perfectly matches, so that I think it very reasonably ro assume they come from the ochazuke meal bag.
I have some more of the stickers and will check later if they are featured in the ad.
I will update the OP as soon as I find the time.
And I think those items are now identified.
Thanks again.

No problem.
Here’s a few more. I’ve split them up between posts since I can’t post too many links in one post yet.
#11 - Poster - likely from Nagatanien Bento Curry (お弁当カレー).
1999 Commercial (very similar papers at 0:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmGxFJ6oF4.
The paper that you have says “Pokemon Name Quiz 2” on the top, in the yellow box.
There is also this old post on Twitter that states they are from curry boxes: https://xcancel.com/396kancho/status/794434089260417024

You can actually see a similar card on the outside of the box: ◆永谷園 ポケモンおむすび◆おまけ BIGステッカー 8種10枚セット◆未使用 美品◆｜代購幫
This one was released on Feburary 23, 1998.

Awesome dump of information! These don’t seem easy to track down (especially which items came from which food products). Also really cool to see the calendar in the original packaging.

Wow, welcome to the forums @sableguy. Really awesome of you to provide all of this info. As @bbobrob mentioned, some of the products, specially food can be really hard to track and get any info on. So your posts provide so much info which can be archived and maintained. So, thank you very much.
Welcome again and hope you stick around and keep contributing. Hoping to get to know more about you and also what you collect.
Cheers!

Thanks, now I also know where my February 26th, 2004 Seviper page is from.
Maybe I should also post the things I currently don’t know about in an identification thread , since it seems there are a lot of experts here on various of non-TCG subjects to identify them. 
EDIT: Done. Here are all the non-TCG Seviper items I own that I barely know anything about.

I found one of my sticker sheets (no. 18) in the ad you mentioned:
So until No. 18 they were definitely released in 1998. If the numbers 46 and 48 are also from 1998 I can’t say. So there is still some uncertainty as to the actual release date. EDIT: Buuut! Judging by the looks of the 2000s stickers I posted below, it seems that the ochazuke stickers were a completely different badge. That seems to narrow it down to 1998/1999. What do you think?
Besides that I also found another sheet with Starmie on it – now I just have to find this sticker sheet!
After searching for: “永谷園 お茶漬け ポケモン” I found those interesting 2000 Nagatanien stickers in the background (which may be very helpful for other members)
The year 1999 did feature one stickers in the ad.
Interestingly it is the same sticker as in the 1998 ad.
Make what you want of this.

I let Deepseek translate 永谷園、「ポケモンお茶づけ」発売、人気キャラクター第４弾 - 日本食糧新聞・電子版 into English:
Note: Deepseek translated Omosubi to Onigiri which means the same to my understanding
Nagatanien Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Tel: 03-3432-2511) launched “Pokémon Ochazuke” and “Pokémon Onigiri” on February 23, featuring characters from Pokémon. These mark the fourth installment in the company’s successful Pokémon product line, following last year’s hits—curry, furikake (rice seasoning), and pancakes.
“Pokémon Ochazuke” includes two flavors per pack: seaweed and salmon. To appeal to younger consumers, the product contains kamaboko (fish cake) shaped like Pikachu, one of Pokémon’s most popular characters.
With children’s health in mind, each small packet (3g) is fortified with 12mg of calcium and designed to be low in sodium.
“Pokémon Onigiri” comes in three varieties: salmon, green vegetables, and bonito flakes—all kid-friendly choices. These also incorporate calcium, with each small packet containing 58mg (salmon), 67mg (green vegetables), or 58mg (bonito flakes).
The products also come with premium collectibles, a key selling point for character-themed goods. **The ochazuke includes 32 types of Pokémon variety stickers, while the onigiri features **30 types of Pokémon BIG stickers.
Sales targets for the first year are set at ¥1.2 billion for ochazuke and ¥1.5 billion for onigiri. The products will roll out nationwide, starting in the Shinetsu region.
Product Details: * Pokémon Ochazuke: 15g per pack; packaging: 5 bags × 10 packs × 12 boxes; standard retail price: ¥130. * Pokémon Onigiri: 14.4g (salmon), 16.4g (green vegetables), 14.4g (bonito flakes); packaging: 4 bags × 10 packs × 6 boxes; standard retail price: ¥130 (uniform across all three varieties).
This would mean, that the 1998 ochazuke featured 32 Variety stickers. Therefore it would follow that every number above No. 32 would be a later release. Maybe the 1999 one. I think this is a strong working assumption. The one thing that speaks against this is the fact that the 1999 ad also shows the sticker sheet from the 1998 ad, as I wrote here. So for better or worse I propose:
02-23-1998: Nagatanien Ochazuke Variety Stickers No. 01–32
02-23-1998: Nagatanien Omosubi Big Stickers 01–30
??-??-1999: Nagatanien Ochazuke Variety Stickers No. 32–??
??-??-1999: Nagatanien Bento Curry Folded Sheets
??-??-2000: Nagatanien [DETAILS?] “Big Stickers v2” (as seen in ad)
