Pokemon has been one of the biggest anime sensations in modern times! The series has been running for over a decade and there are at least 807 Pokemon now! Many of us have grown up with Pokemon and many are still avid fans despite being in our adult years. Such popularity perhaps boils down to the fun-loving nature of the characters and the premise that you can catch and battle cool Pokemon in a poke ball and train them up to be superstars! I'm sure many people wish this fantasy world to be real life!

Be clear about who is being invited. Indicate if you expect the kid to be dropped off or if you will allow the parent to stay during the party. Usually, for parties of toddlers and preschoolers, parents are allowed to stay.These cards were never released, but naturally leaked into the hands of collectors. So rare are they that only 22 PSA graded Pikachu sample cards exist. 16 of which achieved the PSA 10 grail status. These sample cards are a piece of Pokemon history, and quite a revolutionary development for the time. All of these factors make this particular Pikachu card extremely rare and highly sought-after. 2002 E-Card Sample Pikachu PSA Population Report If you already have photo editing software installed on your computer like Photoshop, that would work too. Put the date, time, and venue of the party. You may also want to include a map for those who are not familiar with the venue. And although Charizard cards tend to top the charts in terms of price, our friendly little electric mouse is often a favourite among collectors, and therefore fetches high figures at auction too.

Set the location. Again, this will depend on your budget and also the number of expected guests. If you have the space, a party at home would be the most practical thing to do. But this would also mean you have to do the bulk of the preparations like decorating the party venue and more. If you are having a themed party and you want the visitors to come in costume, be sure to mention it on the invitation.

Although some people think Topsun cards are the first ever Pokemon cards because they say 1995 on them, this is to do with the trademark, and they were actually release in 1997. Japanese Base Set was first in 1996 of course. Anyway, these cards are still very old and valuable, and interestingly, there are plenty of iterations of them…

Whenever there’s a set released with a special Pikachu ‘chase card’, you know it’s going to be something of value. This is especially true when it comes to the EX Holon Phantoms set from the EX Ruby & Sapphire era. Within the set, there are three ‘gold star’ cards; Gyarados, Mewtwo and of course, Pikachu. Note the little gold star next to the word ‘Pikachu’. One of the biggest selling of all time anime series is Pokemon. Ash takes pride and joy in his greatest friend as well as reliable fighter... the cute mouse looking Pokemon - Pikachu! Here you can see Pikachu laughing and playing next to a birthday cake in many of the cards. One final word, please remember market prices fluctuate all the time, and just because someone paid the amounts above in the past year, it doesn’t mean the card is worth that now!

Now this next Pikachu card is fascinating. At a glance, you’d think this was a common Pikachu from the Expedition set. But actually a small collection of ten promotional ‘sample’ cards were created to demonstrate at events how they worked with the e-Reader (a peripheral for the GameBoy Advance). If you are going to send the invitation in person, it is up to you if you just want to write on the printable pokemon birthday invitations by hand or if you want to edit them on the computer using a photo editor. Employees of Wizards of the Coast, took it among themselves to change the cheeks to red (without consulting Arita!!) because they thought he’d made a mistake. How nuts is that?! To be the best trainer in all the world, you need to have discipline, you need to be smart and you need to know your pokemon inside out. But most of all, you need to know how to party!!!! Happy Birthday! An older kid may also have their own opinion on what the theme of the party should be. It is always a good idea to ask them.
