This is a complete set of the Lawson pre-order editions of the 2nd generation Pocket Monsters games. All four games predate their North American counterparts. All four games are also from the first round of their respective pre-order lotteries. They are first edition in the truest sense of the term!
This is currently a 1-of-1 set.
I have so much nostalgia for the early Sugimori art, and the box arts of the early Pokemon games are some of the finest examples of it. These games look so great displayed alongside postcards with art by Fukuyama and Himeno, artists who are also responsible for some of the most iconic cards from the TCG.
There are five games in total that came with exclusive postcards as part of this pre-order partnership with Lawson. The one game I’m missing is also likely the rarest— Pocket Monsters Pikachu. I have a CIB copy, but there are currently only two copies graded as unopened, and a certain someone owns both of them. 👀
