Then, this Digimon may digivolve into a [Dark Dragon] or [Evil Dragon] trait Digimon card in the trash with the digivolution cost reduced by 2
I think I only have the ones here in the office.) 2 Likes shizzlemetimbers September 2, 2021, 10:27am 6 @pichufan, since there was a correction for Typhlosion Im wondering if that adds to the hope, since the correct attack versions are relatively rare so it could support a 2001 variant 1 Like pichufan September 2, 2021, 10:54am 7 @japanime yep, so for some reference 493 and 452 in both barcodes simply refer to Japan (493 is the older pre-1992 code, 452 is the newer 1992 onwards code), then the 4 digits which follow refer to the ID of the company which manufactured the goods - in the first case, 4935228 is Media Factory and in the second 4521329 is The Pokmon Center Company

My following comments are speculation, but: The card designs could have been approved around the same time period as the first wave of 1996 cards, the contract could have enforced the release date of 1997 to stagger product hitting the market, the contract could have stipulated mew was to be withheld until approved, or indefinitely, or permission triggered by some other event such as a sales target
And while it doesnt spoil anything at all, those familiar with the tale will instantly understand the meaning behind it
