This is an original, officially licensed Japanese B2 poster produced in 1999 for Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター / Pokémon). This is not a movie poster—it is a Banpresto character poster, clearly marked 非売品 (not for sale). The sheet carries BANPRESTO branding, LOT NO. 990305, and the printed credit “BANPRESTO 1999 MADE IN JAPAN.” The “No.2” mark identifies it as a numbered variant within this character-poster series.
Franchise background
By 1999, Pokémon had expanded from its original Game Boy releases into television, films and a wide range of licensed merchandise. This poster captures the excitement of the original anime era through a dramatic confrontation between two memorable Fire-type Pokémon: Charizard and Magmar.
Poster design
An explosive landscape composition showing Charizard and Magmar exchanging streams of flame above a volcanic landscape. Charizard dominates the left foreground, its outstretched wings and sweeping tail creating a strong diagonal across the sheet, while Magmar leaps into battle from the upper right. Their fire attacks collide at the centre amid brilliant yellow, orange and red flames, framed by towering rock formations and a clear blue sky. Molten lava fills the lower portion, extending the fiery palette across the composition. With branding confined to the corners, the action takes centre stage, making this an especially striking piece for Charizard collectors and fans of original-generation Pokémon.
