Therefore, we state that you are an Officially Authorized Pokémon Card Illustrator and admire your skill." This card is a promo given out to winners of the Illustration Contest. It is worth $200,000 buckaroos. Two other contests were held in 1998. The Mewtwo's Counterattack Commemoration Illust Artist Contest was the first, announced in the May 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic, with a second, the Pikachu's Summer Vacation Commemoration Illust Artist Contest, announced in the June 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic. Both of these contests invited readers to design their own Pokémon card, in which entries were judged on the most interesting illustrations and the most creative attacks. Interesting article-
