Card #: 038/P
e-Reader ID: Z-26-a
Approx. Value: $100.00 - $140.00
Notes:
Festa is short for festival. Pokémon Festa 2002 was held from July - August 2002. It is an annual convention held in Japan in various locations. It features events, games, shopping and previews of upcoming Pokémon products. The background on this card and the JR Pokémon Happy Adventure Rally 2002 are the same.
P promotional cards were the first Japanese promo cards to have a numbering system. These cards were numbered ###/P (P for Promotional), indicating that other Promotional sets could be released. Similar to the English promo cards, these cards featured a black star "PROMO" symbol.
e-Cards feature a “dot code” barcode. The barcode can be swiped through the Nintendo e-Reader, which would activate mini-games or prompt a Pokédex data entry for the Pokémon on the card. The barcode was omitted on any e-Cards featuring a holofoil treatment, that way holographic cards would not be swiped through the e-Reader and be damaged.
