In Japan, it was available as an insert with the Pokémon 2nd Anniversary Calendar, released in October 1998. The English version was available through a [[Wizards of the Coast]] mail campaign in which people would draw a picture of what their favorite card would be and, in return, Wizards of the Coast would send them the Birthday Pikachu card through the mail. The mail-in campaign ran from September to November 2000. It was later reprinted with new artwork by the same artist in Japan as a promotional card for the [[How I Became a Pokémon Card volume 6|sixth volume]] of the manga series, ''[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]'' released in September 2001. The Japanese Natta Wake promotional version was printed on non-glossy card stock. | ||
