Pokémon TCG Pocket leaks are in full swing, and one card specifically has been reportedly recognized as traced paintings from a fan’s work from 2021.
The supposed leaked card, the Ho-Oh immersive uncommon of tomorrow’s Knowledge of Sea and Sky growth set for Pokémon TCG Pocket, gave the impression to be traced from artist Lanjiujiu’s work, with the artist happening social media to share their work subsequent to the official Pokémon card design, claiming it to be a 1:1 in pose and magnificence. Different viewers on social media have even created movies highlighting the similarities between the playing cards.
Destructoid has reached out to The Pokémon Firm Worldwide for touch upon not solely the alleged leaked card design but in addition the plagiarism accusations. We should additionally be aware that, till the playing cards are formally revealed on August 30, we must always take the rumored card leak with a grain of salt till it’s confirmed.
The artist behind the rumored Ho-oh immersive card, and the one being accused, is SEI NANAHARA, who has been identified up to now for creating beloved and hanging Pokémon playing cards for the bodily card recreation. The artist has additionally created works for a number of different buying and selling card video games, together with ONE PIECE and MTG, and has produced a few of my private favourite playing cards over the previous few years.
What strikes me about this rumored card leak being traced is how the artwork intently matches what the fan created in 2021, right down to the talons and wingspan. If it does turn into an actual card, and Pokémon’s inside crew finds the cardboard to be traced, I do hope that the artist in query is contacted or compensated in a roundabout way for his or her work getting used.
We’ll replace this information piece when both the cardboard is formally confirmed or we obtain a response from The Pokémon Firm relating to these accusations, and can replace you once we can.
