Some Pokémon TCG cards feature artwork that was only ever printed in a single language; others were only ever released in a single region. A Japanese promo from a 1996 stamp magazine never released in English. A McDonald's Pokémon-e card distributed only in Japan in 2002. A Chinese-market exclusive from a recent set. A Call of Legends or My First Battle card that shipped across Western markets (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish) but never reached Japan. PokéTruc catalogs these language- and region-exclusive cards across the classic Generation 1 Pokémon — Bulbasaur, Charizard, Pikachu and every favourite — plus select Pokémon from later generations added on request, pulling artwork from Japanese Vending Machine expansion sheets, Black & White promos, DPt-P promos, McDonald's promos, Western-only trainer kits, and Chinese-exclusive releases by artists such as Ken Sugimori, Mitsuhiro Arita, Sumiyoshi Kizuki, Yuka Morii and many others. The goal is simple: help collectors discover the rare illustrations they may have never seen, organised by Pokémon, set, exclusivity and year — fully free, ad-free, and built by a fan.
