 *The card was immediately banned by Wizards upon its release, due to the fact that any player could claim it was their birthday in order to gain the potential 50 extra damage on the card's attack. This ban covered both the {{TCG|Unlimited format}} and the {{TCG|Modified format}}, one of only two cards to fall under this distinction ({{TCG ID|The Power of One|Ancient Mew|promo}} is the other). Both Japanese prints have the clause ''"(This card can't be used in official tournaments)"'' on the card bottom.
 *The Japanese promotional reprint is commonly known as ''Natta Wake Birthday Pikachu'' in reference to the manga book in which it was distributed. This version is considerably rarer than the regular Japanese promotional version, making it one of the most desirable Birthday Pikachu cards printed.
-*Interestingly, the Japanese promotional reprint is the only one of the six Natta Wake promos to lack the open book expansion symbol found on the previous five promos.
-*This card has been the most highly sought after of all the Wizards of the Coast promos since the time it was released, making it have a higher resale value than the other Wizards Black Star Promos.
