This New Year’s card is believed to contain the first publicly distributed illustrations of Pokémon from Game Freak.

For New Year’s Day, 1993, this card was sent to the employees of Game Freak, and other close friends/partners of the company. This was over three years prior to the official release of Pokémon Red and Green.

This New Year’s postcard contained early illustrations of Exeggutor and Khangaskhan. While it’s likely that these illustrations were drawn by Ken Sugimori, I have not been able to find a definitive source that confirms this.

Sending New Year’s cards, or “Nenjago”, in Japan is a common tradition, similar to sending a Christmas card here in the U.S. These are often sent to family and close friends to ring in the new year. Game Freak has produced a number of these cards throughout the years!

These cards have long been believed to have only been distributed to the staff of Game Freak, which in 1993 was likely around 10-15 people. However, there are credible reports that prove these postcards were also sent to close friends and/or business partners of the company.

Thanks to the limited production and distribution of these cards, they are exceptionally rare. The fact that Game Freak has largely kept this tradition in-house shows their appreciation to their team and the work that they do.

What’s most fascinating about this card is that it was released more than 3 years prior to the games; and I can’t help but wonder why. 

It’s possible that by 1993 they already had most of the finalized Pokémon designs done already. It’s also possible that they anticipated the game’s release years earlier, and due to delays things were pushed back.

Either way, these early materials are incredibly impressive and fun to review. I love how both Khangaskhan and Exeggutor look slightly different than their polished forms today. It shows how Pokémon has grown, yet stayed true to its original vision!
