Unveiling the Significance of the Pikabug in Pokémon's Legacy

A collector and archivist named Grace Klich owns one of the 20 Volkswagen Beetle cars that were transformed into Pikachu-themed vehicles to promote Pokémon in the late 1990s. These cars were used at events and given away in contests, and Klich has spent years and thousands of dollars restoring her car, known as Pikabug #7. She has also connected with other collectors who own the remaining cars and uses her online platform to preserve and document Pokémon's forgotten history, including old promotional events and merchandise. Klich hopes to encourage others to come forward with their own pieces of Pokémon history for preservation.
