The campaign launched with the release of the third Expansion Sheet on November 24, 1998 and ran until April 30, 1999. Participants who mailed a copy of any Kadabra card along with a copy of Bill's PC to Media Factory during the campaign period were sent a copy of Alakazam in return. Approximately 39,000 applications were made for Alakazam over the course of the campaign, making it the most popular of the five cards available.

Trivia

  • The requirement of Bill's PC for the campaign led to the five available cards to become known colloquially as Masaki promos in reference to Bill's Japanese name.
  • Cards from the Expansion Sheets are printed on glossy card stock, while those distributed as part of the Communication Evolution Campaign are printed on regular card stock.
