Notes:

PokéPark was a traveling Japanese theme park based on the Pokémon franchise. Admission to the park is free, but there is a fee for each attraction visited. At the end of every attraction a free TCG promo card was given out. This card was one of 13 cards that you could receive at the end of each attraction and was given out if you went on the Pikachu's Forest ride. This card features the PokéPark Pokémon the Park 2005 logo and was never released in English. It is also the first Pikachu TCG card to depict more than 1 pikachu in the artwork.

 

PCG-P Promotional cards replaced the "ADV-P" Promotional cards in January 2004. These cards were numbered ###/PCG-P (PCG-P for Pokémon Card Game Promotional). Similar to the English promo cards, these cards featured a black star "PROMO" symbol

 

When Nintendo took over the publishing duties of Wizards of the Coast, they started adding a nine digit code called an ID number, starting with EX Ruby & Sapphire. The ID number is in the bottom left corner and is represented as XXX-XXX-XXX, and is different from card to card. Nintendo’s official statement doesn't say what this code is for, except that that it is for internal use only and they're not meant to be used within the TCG, nor is meant for collecting.
