Mewtwo thrashes Mew with bolts of dark psychic energy, but after careful evading Mew retaliates with its own destructive blasts of colorful psychic energy. High into the night sky, their struggle destroys everything in their paths including the Pokémon arena. | ||

Revision as of 19:41, 18 February 2024
Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards was a set of Pokémon cards manufactured by Topps in 1999. There were 72 cards in total: 41 cards featuring scenes from Mewtwo Strikes Back, 18 cards featuring scenes from Pikachu's Vacation, 12 evolution cards, and a checklist. Each of these 72 cards also had two foil card versions (silver and rainbow). In addition, there were 30 bonus "chase cards" not included on the checklist, including 12 die-cut embossed evolution cards and 18 sticker cards.
Cards were sold in randomly distributed packets of eight or five cards. In the first printing, the cards featured a blue Topps logo, while in the second printing, the logo was black. One card in each packet would be a randomly chosen foil card. Foil cards from the second printing had a sandpaper finish[1]. Silver foil cards with a smooth finish but a black logo were also produced.
A promotional silver foil card numbered 0 also exists that was only distributed at Blockbuster Video stores in 1999 with the rental of the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back.[2][3] The card features a blue Topps logo.
Topps' 75th Anniversary card set from 2013 featured stamped buyback cards, confirmed to include some cards from Series 1, Series 3 & Pokémon First Movie. These are cards that Topps bought from the secondhand market via the buyback program and stamped with a gold "Topps 75th" logo. Some of the cards that were from The First Movie in the 75th Anniversary set include: #09 Ash and Company, #10 Battle Before Lunch, #18 The Temple of Mewtwo, #20 The Best of Luck, #33 Psychic Showdown, #43 Don't Cry Togepi, #48 Racing Cheek to Cheek, E1 Bulbasaur, & Checklist (non-foil) #02 Awakening, #55 Success, E9 Blastoise (sandpaper silver foil)

Trivia
- One of the cards from Mewtwo Strikes Back names Donphan as "Donfan", probably due to its trademarked Japanese name and the fact that Gold and Silver weren't out in North America yet. It was later corrected in the second printing.
- The cards from Pikachu's Vacation name Marill as "Pikablu" and Snubbull as "Buru". This contradicts later promotional items for the movie, such as the short's novelization, which use the final English names for these Pokémon. The names were later corrected in the second printing, but spelt Snubbull as "Snubble".
- "Buru" can be considered a transliteration of Snubbull's Japanese name, ブルー Bulu.
- Many cards, such as #32 "The Battle Renewed", feature scenes from the original theatrical version of the film, not the kanzenban edition that included scenes that were specifically reanimated for North American audiences. This is likely a result of the cards being created before the English version of the movie was completed, considering the cards also did not feature finalized names for Donphan, Snubbull, and Marill.
