In Japan, this card was released as an {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|Unnumbered Promotional card}} with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was first available through the Trade Please campaign that ran from February 10 to July 31 in 1998. Participants were required to mail a flyer included with copies of ''{{CD|Let's Trade Please|Trade Please}}'' by [[Suzukisan]] to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards and a return envelope within the campaign period.

The "B Course" included a {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}} card and the Trade Please! card. The "C Course" included a {{TCG ID|Base Set|Venusaur|15}} card and the Trade Please! card. MediaFactory would then send the two cards from the chosen course to the participant, completing the trade. This print was later released as part of the ''[[Pokémon Song Best Collection]]'' CD. These prints have the [[Pikachu Records]] logo in place of an expansion symbol. A Jumbo English version of the Base Set print was released in Japan as an insert in the April 2000 [[CoroCoro]] magazine, released in March 2000.
