The English Wizards Black Star Promotional version of the card was obtainable by buying a ticket to the cinema showing of Celebi: The Voice of the Forest and was packaged with a double-sided e-reader insert. The "Pokémon 4Ever" logo is featured underneath the illustration and the illustrator's named was misspelled, saying "Hajime Kusajim".

Trivia

• The Wizards of the Coast version was the first English promotional card to feature the aesthetic changes made to the cards in the e-Card Series.

• Nintendo Space World 2001 counted a total of 81,000 visitors. Knowing that every visitor was able to collect a Nintendo Space World 2001 Official Guidebook that included the Celebi 006/P promo, we get a rough idea of the card population. ^[1]
• This card was also the primary marketing image for the Nintendo e-Reader at Nintendo Space World 2001. It was featured on the banner of the e-Reader stage, and printed on the curtains of the entrance to the e-Reader booths, where people could test the new Sample Set cards.

Origin

This card's English e-Reader Pokédex entries come from Pokémon Crystal. The Japanese entry for the Wizards Black Star Promotional print also comes from Pokémon Crystal, while the entry for the P Promotional print comes from Pokémon Gold.
