Why the s8a Pikachu #001 is a Japanese 25th Anniversary flagship

The 25th Anniversary Collection is the Japanese equivalent of English Celebrations — 28 cards celebrating 25 years of Pokémon TCG. Pikachu #001 opens the set with a Mitsuhiro Arita illustration that consciously echoes the 1999 Base Set Pikachu he originally drew, updated to a wistful forest scene 25 years later. A must-have for any serious Anniversary or Arita collector.
