Trivia

Even though the Boundaries Crossed version is technically considered a reprint, the Base Set print cannot be substituted for it in sanctioned play. This is because the newer version has had a "major text change" (the ACE SPEC designation).

Origin

This card represents the concept of PC storage in the Pokémon games.
