One of the WOTC promo cards (#51/53) is an e-reader Rapidash card (although with a different minigame). I wonder if that has anything to do with why a Rapidash bar code was used for these test cards, like they had already decided that they were going to localize that Rapidash card as a promo.
Yes I’m aware :)! The hoop jumping game is pretty fun. That one also requires a Ho-oh card to play. Both were Pokemon center promos IIRC. You may be partly correct. I also suspect they used this Rapidash because the ‘mini game’ conveniently uses only a single card, instead of having to swipe multiple. Easier for testing maybe.
3:07 There's also the difference in copyright between the FPO (©Pokémon. ©Wizards 2002.) and officially printed (© 2002 Pokémon / Nintendo) cards.
This was a good video, please make more.
A really interesting piece of history and somewhat expensive.
Super cool, thanks for investigating!
nice effort put into this, i always wondered what happens when you scanned e reader cards. thanks for clearing that up
Really nicely done vid, viridian! And super interesting topic
