Today we are going back all the way to 1999 with a card from the Base - Jungle series! As you guessed it from the images, it’s Victreebel (14/64).
While most of the time, I pick “forgotten cards”, today I choose not to do that. I wanted to showcase a card that has a personal meaning for me. Let me tell you why.
This Victreebel has been in my and my brothers collection for as long as we can remember. It was a card that even felt old for us back then, can you believe that? Now, that being said, the reason I like this Pokémon card has to do mainly with the Pokémon on it. Ever since James from Team Rocket got his Victreebel, I enjoyed the dynamic between those two. Victreebel “eating” James to play with him was fantastic! Later, I took it in my Pokémon Platinum team as well for a while.
While this card doesn’t have the most spectacular artwork, I’ll always appreciate the older holos. Nothing is going to change that. Oh yeah, and it’s First Edition. That always has a nice ring to it ;)
