For sale are the 5 Japanese Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire e-Reader Room Promotional e Cards which were available only in Japan and allowed the player to unlock additional in-game effects through the Japanese e-Reader+ when scanned.
These cards were distributed through various promotional means in 2003 - from magazine publications, select store distribution periods, and as add-ons for customer purchases from the Pokemon Center.
If you would like to try and make this yourself for FREE I released a YouTube video on how to make this which you can watch here ➡️
After much request to sell these I decided to offer those viewers not wanting to go through the DIY hassle the alternative option to just buy it instead.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND - it might take a few scans to make sure that the ENTIRE dot code is captured clearly, but it WILL eventually read it! I say this because even with original e-Reader+ cards that I have the e-Reader+ does not detect the scan immediately and requires several swipes to register, so yes - it is NORMAL if it does not read on the first try.
The dot code is printed on high quality glossy photo paper where the code will not rub off easily.
After an e-Card is scanned the player needs to access the e-Reader Room (カードeルーム), which can be done from the title screen with the following button combination:
1. Press and hold ➡️
2. Press L and then R three times.
