Detective Pikachu 098/SV-P: game bonus, not movie set

Japanese promo 098/SV-P came from an early-purchase bonus for the packaged Detective Pikachu Returns game. Do not confuse it with cards associated with the earlier film.

The primary evidence

The Japanese card database lists 098/SV-P, credits MINAMINAMI Take and explicitly links distribution to the early-purchase bonus for the packaged game. That is stronger identification evidence than a listing that only says “Detective Pikachu promo.”

Software language does not identify card language

A game supporting multiple interface languages does not imply that every associated physical bonus exists in those languages. Nintendo Japan’s indexed product notice distinguishes the packaged bonus from the download edition, but the live fetched page returned no readable text. Treat the no-download-bonus detail as index-only corroboration pending a direct recheck.

What is and is not mapped

We have not verified an English same-art printing of 098/SV-P. Earlier movie-related cards are not automatically counterparts merely because the character name matches. Confirm the SV-P suffix and the full number before comparing offers, and do not assume a used software package still includes its original bonus.

Make the next step concrete.
