The first illustration contest was publicized in the November 1997 issue of ''CoroCoro Comic'', released on October 15, 1997 and invited readers to draw and submit their favorite Pokémon. The winning entries were announced in the January 1998 issue of ''CoroCoro Comic'', released in December 1997. Three entrants received the Best Award, each of them receiving 20 copies of a Pokémon trading card featuring their illustration and a special {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Pokémon Illustrator|promo}} promotional card. These cards were subsequently printed as part of {{TCG|Expansion Sheet 1}}, available in special vending machines from March 23, 1998. Twenty entrants were also selected for the Excellence Award, all of them receiving a Pokémon Illustrator promotional card. One hundred entrants received the Special Award, each of them receiving a 1998 Pokémon Original Calendar.

Outside Japan, the winning Snorlax card would inspire [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s Create-a-Snorlax Pokémon Card Contest. Twenty-five years after its original release, the winning Mr. Mime would be printed in English for the first time as a part of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic]].

==Create-a-Snorlax Pokémon Card Contest==
In early 2002, [[Wizards of the Coast]] ran an illustration competition for an English version of Keita Takahashi's winning Pokémon Card Game Illust Artist Contest entry. From February 10th to March 21st 2002, {{TCG|Pokémon League}} participants could illustrate a {{p|Snorlax}} on a provided flyer and mail it in for consideration. In April, twenty submissions were randomly selected as finalists and uploaded to Wizards's website, where the public could vote for a winner using a ranking system. The chosen image was illustrated by Craig Turvey.


==2000 Wizards Pokémon Illustration Contest==
According to Turvey, he was announced as the winner at {{wp|E3}} 2002, when he visited Wizards of the Coast's booth and asked who won. For winning, Turvey's League received a plaque framing his original artwork and a copy of the promo card; Turvey received multiple copies of the promo card.<ref name="Johto Times">[https://johto.substack.com/p/vol1-41 Interview with Craig Turvey (Create-a-Snorlax Contest)]</ref> The card was released publicly through Pokémon Leagues in August 2002. The winner of the contest was not announced outside of E3 before distribution of the card.
In early 2000, [[Wizards of the Coast]] ran an illustration competition for the English version of the World Hobby Fair Mewtwo promotional card. The chosen image was that of Christopher Rush and was included with the April 2000 issue of Nintendo Power.

A total of 5,250 {{TCG|Poké Card Creator Pack}}s were distributed in July 2004: 50 packs to each of the five grand prize winners, and one pack to 5,000 first prize winners.
