In the picture below, we have the the 38-page Pokemon Rally “stamp” book, in which participants had to collect rubber-stamped Pokemon images at kiosks in 30 different Tokyo-area train stations. To the right of the stamp book is the folder that contains the promo cards that were awarded to participants who completed the rally.
The next image is of the inside of the card folder (along with the cards themselves).
And here’s a look at two of the pages inside the stamp book. Four Pokemon stamps completed, only 24 more to go! (As someone who participated in these annual rallies, which took place during the most miserably hot and humid month of the year, I assure you that visiting all 30 stations was truly hard work!)
Last but not least, the train tickets necessary for traveling to each of the 30 stations — as well as what I consider one of the coolest of all Pokemon collectibles, a plastic Japan Railways “Pokemon Trainer” card featuring Satoshi, Kasumi, Takeshi and their Poke-pals posing in front of the Shinkansen (bullet train).
I hope you found this enjoyable and interesting. Thanks for looking!
