Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket players are discovering delightful hidden details in the card art, connecting the illustrations to the beloved Game Boy games. The excitement began when Reddit user asch_win noticed that the Spearow card features landmarks resembling Celadon City Department Store and Route 16 from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The uncanny resemblance to these iconic locations suggests an intentional nod to the games' origins.
This discovery sparked a wave of investigations, with Reddit user jteede uncovering further connections. A Diglett card appears to be set near Vermillion City, while a Haunter card is positioned next to Lavender Town's tower. asch_win also revealed location references on several Supporter cards.
Many card illustrations depict Pokémon in fantastical settings, some even mirroring real-world collectible cards. However, others, like those mentioned above, are unique to Pokémon TCG Pocket, making these Easter eggs even more special.
The community is now actively searching for more hidden references. Recent findings include the S.S. Anne on a Gyarados full art card, and a story seemingly told across Oddish, Venonat, and Bellsprout cards, all referencing the seaside Snorlax location in FireRed and LeafGreen.
