Pokémon - 1 Card - 1997/Imakuni?/CoroCoro Comic Promo card

The "Imakuni?" Trainer card from the original Pokémon TCG era (often referred to as "Old Back" or "Old Backing") is highly popular among collectors due to the character's unique personality and the card's rarity. While it was known in official tournaments of the time for its comical, self-sabotaging effects—such as causing one's own Pokémon to become Confused—it now frequently trades at high prices in the retro Pokémon card market. Imakuni? (Bonus item from the September 1997 issue of *Monthly CoroCoro Comic*): This is the original "Imakuni?" card that started it all. It caused a stir back then with its outrageous effect text that caused your own Active Pokémon to become Confused. Intense Nostalgia: It serves as an iconic figure for the generation that grew up listening to the song "Pokémon Ieru Kana?" (Can You Name All the Pokémon?) in real-time. Scarcity of Mint-Condition Cards: Because it was treated as a "gag card" with no practical utility, many copies were stored carelessly without protective sleeves; consequently, finding a card in pristine, scratch-free condition is extremely rare.


※ As the photos are taken by an amateur, they may not perfectly capture the card's condition. Please refrain from bidding if you cannot accept imperfections not visible in the photos—such as edge whitening, scratches, peeling, creases, bends, or dents—or if you are seeking a flawless, mint-condition item.
Since these are cards from decades ago, they may have factory-origin flaws or signs of aging (such as discoloration); please examine the photos carefully.
