About: In this video I talk about the promotional cards from the first 4 Pokémon movies. Some cards came with the purchase of a movie ticket, and others came with the VHS or DVD release. Some of these cards are Ancient Mew, Entei, and Celebi!

[@marnea1]

"Mewtwo Strikes Back" is the official English name of the first Pokemon movie's main feature. The Japanese title is a little different, "Mewtwo's Counterattack". You'll even see it appear on screen after Mewtwo makes his grand proclamation at the end of the prologue. Likewise, "Power of One" is the official English title for the second Pokemon Movie as well. The Japanese title on that one is pretty funny, "Pokemon Revelations! Lugia's Explosive Birth!" Which is honestly pretty typical for Japanese titles, they love to go ham, lol. The confusion here is that the Pokemon movies are actually made up of two films. The main feature, and a featurette starring Pikachu. For example; Pokemon the First Movie: Pikachu's Vacation & Mewtwo Strikes Back Pokemon 2000: Pikachu's Rescue Adventure & The Power of One Pokemon 3: Pikachu and Pichu & Spell of the Unown

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you for this explanation!

[@Left4Cake]

​@@sleevenocardbehindThe English subtitles like "Mewtwo Strike Back" were presented like fancy Episode Title Drops in the movie. Presented after the Main Title Drop for each Movie "Pokemon The First Movie" ect.

[@Tanookicatoon]

For the third movie, I always preferred "Lord of the Unown Tower"

[@marnea1]

@@Tanookicatoon Yeah, the Pre-Release Title on the 2000 VHS. Spell of the Unown is punny, I guess. But "Lord of the Unown Tower" was also punny and just cool. Plus it's neat the the titular Lord is implied to be this powerful, bestial legendary Pokémon but is actually a little girl.

[@LucyKosaki]

I remember being very confused because in our country the first movie was called Mew vs Mewtwo and Mewtwo strikes back was what they used to advertise the Mewtwo Returns sequel (even though mewtwo is getting attacked here)

[@Tanookicatoon]

Wait... No one got Ancient Mew for the first movie? Down in Corpus Christi Texas our promos came with TWO cards. Ancient Mew facing front, with one of the four others randomly behind it. I remember all of my friends talking about how they all thought it was weird that we all got Ancient Mew again for the second movie, but thought it was crazy to see it referenced in the movie.

[@Infindox]

Weird. We only got Ancient Mew with the second movie, because... Well it's in the second movie lol.

[@LessTh3nThree]

Man i dont know how it ended up in my possession because i never went to see any of the films in cinemas but i had an ancient mew card as a child and i was convinced by friends that it was THEE rarest card that ever existed. None of us new it was a promo and i remember my heart break when i learned it wasn’t all that uncommon

[@RicardoCon94]

I remember being very very disappointed that the card you get with the home release of Pokémon 2000 being just a Pikachu. I expected a Lugia card because of the previous film coming with a MewTwo card. However, i still received a Lugia coin thing from getting the tape.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

The coin is so sick too! I’ve always loved it

[@naturesepyon]

The Jigglypuff has a Japanese card stock variant as well, commonly refered to as a "Grey Star Promo Jigglypuff" as well as a Grey Star Promo Pikachu (A variant of the first Blackstar Promo Pikachu)

[@waxwinged_hound]

I have the Ancient Mew, it was given to me as a gift when I was a kid, but I had no idea how special it was, for me specifically. I thought the Ancient Mew was a promo for the FIRST movie. But knowing it's from 2000 makes it more special for me. Pokemon 2000 was the movie that got me into Pokemon in the first place. I've been a bird nerd since I was a little kid, so a movie about legendary bird monsters with elemental powers was precisely the thing that would interest me. Lugia remains my favorite Legendary Pokemon to this day, partly because I just like its design but partly because it was the star of that movie.

[@E111DOG]

Awesome video! Really well made, to the point, informative, and entertaining :D

[@TalaaAlore]

This video was a gem of a find. Love the channel name and would be great to hear about some other card mistakes or trivia from WotC days :)

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you! I have many videos planned

[@RolandKoller90]

I have all the promos from seeing the first 3 movies back then. Great memories ❤️

[@Chichirumiru]

I have the german Dragonite Promo. In german it is called "Dragoran" but on the card it instead says "Dragonit". (No stamp)

[@RadioMike]

Love this video man! Subscribed and can’t wait to watch more from you :)

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Awesome thank you!

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

What software is on the long side codes of Celebi and Suicune? Edit: Celebi has a small event animation featuring Celebi c: The Suicune one contains a melody box song. :0

[@BobCCLIV]

Great vid! Hoping you make more on the other promos and oddities of the past!

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you! Yes I absolutely will!

[@stefanhuber7357]

I went to the movies so many times as a kid to get as many of the cards as I could! I remember getting bummed I kept pulling electabuzz 😂

[@enthusiastic_swiftie_13]

1:10 I would say that the card art for Pikachu and Dragonite are so cute

[@CoopsCollection]

This was great info! Really enjoyed watching

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thanks Coop!

[@KilatSilat]

Excellent video! One thing I always thought was cool was that a lot of the artwork on the black star promos came from the Japanese vending series (which is my favorite set)

[@sleevenocardbehind]

The Japanese vending series is one of my favourite sets too! It’s on my list to make a vending series video

[@pokene_pokemon]

Channel is way underrated

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you! A huge compliment that every young KZbinr wants to hear!

[@RobertPaulson87]

Loving the WOTC promo content:') Keep it coming, please!

[@ZackeroniAndCheese]

I actually like that the cards are not foil. It reminds me of classic Magic cards

[@jamesonjeffery4069]

When i was a kid i was at target looking for pokemon cards and i found a Unown J card ripped in half just lying there.

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

I have one of the inverted stamp Mewtwos! One of the big grails in my collection - got it cheap way before anyone knew just HOW crazy that thing is.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Woah! That’s nice!

[@irvinanchondo8624]

Your channel is awesome bro. I thought u would at least have 100k subs! U got some top tier stuff! Remember me when ur famous amigo!!!

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you so much! I also think I should have 100k subs lol

[@Y2Jerms]

So, apparently, my friend got an even MORE rare variant of ancient mew? What was supposed to be at the top of the card was on the bottom. As if the sheet was cut wrong. I never see people talk about it, but I remember seeing him get it.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Ah, so it was misscut? That’s very cool!

[@warriorsdynastypart275]

@@sleevenocardbehindI was gonna say I doubt u missed anything in that video u made. Thanks for making these videos. You are a gem to this community.

[@jonathansamson2755]

Great content, I love Wizards era stories like this

[@buggoogly5622]

I got the dragonite card with some pyjamas lol

[@keithl3855]

I have a wildly miscut version of the First Movie promo set. Probably not worth a whole ton but very special to me.

[@Hutch2Much]

just checked my collection, and i have a miscredited articuno promo card. neat! never knew

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Nice! I hope it’s mint!

[@orsonzedd]

So I got the soundtrack as a Christmas present which means I didn't have a proof of purchase because tradition says you can't show people how much money you spent on them

[@alfonsopayan09]

Got huge nostalgia seeing this arts Crazy how my promos survived 20+ years 🤯

[@danscime]

Unown R wasn’t in the neo sets, but in Japanese, you could find Unown R as a Corocoro magazine promo

[@marnea1]

Unown R wasn't distributed in Corocoro. It, along with Unown J, were given out in train stations in Japan by the JR Train Company, through a "Rally". Hence why those two Unown were probably selected. Interesting thing about them too, all other unknown cards had CG renders in the Neo era, but for whatever reason J and R were hand drawn.

[@AndrewBurris-pj3wl]

I lost a tournament at my local league to a guy playing with the promo entei. He claimed the wording of the attack prevented entei from being damaged the following turn-not just the bench. I was like 12 and he was an adult so I was unable to argue my case and my energy removal was prized so I lost 🤬

[@Trevor_NewJerusalem]

I had the Dragonite and the Mewtwo because I saw the movie twice! RIP wherever they went 🤷‍♂️

[@superj7771]

I never like the e reader design as a kid. Anytime got these cards from the vending from the grocery stores i was always mad.

[@Rebel-hn9ly]

Damn im old , i had all of them cards my fav was the Light Arcanine wit the flowers in the back

[@sleevenocardbehind]

To this day, that is one of the most beautiful illustrations in the entire tcg! Love that card

[@andredegiant3876]

It’s hilarious when people try to pass off the Aoki error cards as “super rare” variants on EBay. Really great video on some of my favorite WOTC cards 🤙

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thanks for watching!

[@anubis96789]

I have all the promos and even a German one from when the movie came out in Germany lol. The good ole days.

[@elipsorange]

Dude you forgot the Ivy Pikachu error, also the Nintendo power Venusaur, how some of the promos came with half foils.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Those we will be another video! This one was about movie promos

[@rand0mGT]

These cards are my most sentimental cards

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Me too. I vividly remember sitting in the back of the car with my friend, both of us checking out the Entei promo under the passing street lights

[@motomon9848]

Youre telling me im sitting on nearly $10k worth of pokemon cards?! Jfc. I know i have those promo cards. I might just sell them. I need the cash.

[@irvinanchondo8624]

To get 10k u gotta have them graded...

[@mariotaz]

Interesting

[@EDCExplained]

00:21 weird flash?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Must’ve been some kind of glitch when I rendered the video

[@EDCExplained]

@@sleevenocardbehind thought it was a subliminal message at first so I saved that part and slowed it down. Its a green screen with pinkish/purple lips dead center lol

[@sleevenocardbehind]

@@EDCExplained I know its so strange lol

[@rand0mGT]

1:43 I think u meant more UNCOMMON

[@sleevenocardbehind]

What I meant is that the missing stamp variation is more common than the reverse stamp variant. Whoops!

[@zombiekronik0420]

What was up with the hot green screen and the pink lips showing up for a single frame in your video

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Lol I have no idea. It’s not in my edit so it must be a weird rendering glitch. Creepy as hell though

[@taariqthomas5039]

Bro what is this subliminal message you playing for 1 frame at 0:21 … is that a mouth

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Some kind of glitch when rendering the video 😭

[@Reluxthelegend]

0:21 WTF with the magenta lips

[@sleevenocardbehind]

😭 idk!

[@Reluxthelegend]

@@sleevenocardbehind understandable have a nice day

[@lPsychoMax]

One thing I never understood for TCG's is that the misprints, mis-stamps and error cards are highly sought after and rare; but no company has ever made it part of the digital version of the games. Imagine a pokemon or yugioh digital card game (online or offline, doesn't matter) where there's a stupid rare chance to get one of these misprints from opening a digital pack. Ofc the card would work like the normal version, so the only difference is the artwork and text display (meaning if it's say... a Pikachu with the name Charmander who's ember does 60 damage for 2 water energys; the game would treat it as the original pikachu in game. But the dispalyed card would look different), but this is definitely an untapped market for digital card games. I'm not for giving companies another means to be greedy and make people more addicted to spending thousands on digital booster packs but, it would definitely make people want to try and unbox them for the really low chance to get one.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

That’s a really cool idea!

[@JuantonimoBay]

wtf is that at 0:21?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Some kind of glitch or bug during the rendering of the video. Why does it look like a set of lips? I don’t know. If I don’t upload another video please assume that I was murdered

[@TheMajinGames]

dude wtf is this in 0:21

@@BennyLin718Man, it's sad you have so little going on in life that you're defined by going around judging people for what they like and choose to do with their time that hurts nobody. Someone out there thinks your hobbies are sad and lame. Did you know that? Somebody exists who thinks that about literally every hobby. I'm not sure how it affects you or how you're in a position to decide this is "sad". Your comment is the only sad thing I see here, honestly. To waste time talking shit on KZbin like the rest of us all can't see that that's simply the best you have to do with your time. This dudes making shit, while you're just talking shit. Grow up and try a little humility before you go around talking shit, bud. I don't see you doing shit.
