Trivia
This card is commonly known as Snap Pikachu, due to the game the image comes from.
The camera graphic was also used on ten other Japanese promotional cards featuring photos taken in Pokémon Snap for the CoroCoro Best Photo Contest and 64 Mario Stadium Best Photo Contest, both held in May 1999. These prints were all printed on normal card stock.
This is the only English Pokémon card to have "Photo." instead of "Illus." where the illustrator name is traditionally placed.
