#new year card
Friends! What you see might be the EARLIEST officially released Pokémon illustration ever.
It’s a Game Freak 1993 New Year postcard by Ken Sugimori found and scanned by the awesome collector http://instagram.com/hapycakeoven A truly exciting discovery. This does not pre-date Capsule Monsters, this card might represent the first time Game Freak showed Pokémon to the public. It surely is the earliest published picture to date. As you might know, these cards are usually in colour, so let the hunt for the original begin!
