The Funskool Pokemon cards represent an interesting chapter in the franchise's early international distribution history. Released in India during the early 2000s, these unlicensed products captured the Pokemon craze in markets where official cards were difficult to obtain. While informal by Western collecting standards, Funskool cards have developed a devoted following among collectors interested in regional variants and the broader history of Pokemon's global reach. Ivysaur, the grass-type evolution of Bulbasaur, appears here in Funskool's distinctive artistic interpretation. The card's design reflects the era's approach to Pokemon imagery, making it a notable example for those tracking how different manufacturers portrayed the franchise's iconic creatures across various territories and time periods.
