E-Card Series

The e-Card era, which ran from 2002 to 2003, was the final series produced by Wizards of the Coast (WotC). This era is named for its unique compatibility with the Nintendo e-Reader accessory for the Game Boy Advance.Cards featured a dot-code strip that could be swiped to unlock Pokédex data, mini-games, or special attacks. This functionality required a drastic card redesign, which is instantly recognizable by its left-sided artwork and unique border.The sets in this era, Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge, are famous for being the last WotC sets and for introducing the highly sought-after Crystal Type Pokémon.
