Pokémon TCG Pocket Players Blown Away After Discovering Some Cards Reference Iconic Game Boy Locations

Pokémon TCG Pocket's card art has captivated players, but recently discovered details reveal hidden connections to the original Game Boy games. Reddit user asch_win initiated the investigation, highlighting Spearow's card art. The background subtly depicts Celadon City's Department Store and Route 16, mirroring the game's Spearow habitat.

Many card illustrations feature fantastical settings unrelated to established Pokémon lore; some even resemble real-world collectible cards. However, the hidden Easter eggs are unique to Pokémon TCG Pocket.

The community's ongoing investigation has unearthed further connections, such as the S.S. Anne on a Gyarados card and a trio of Oddish, Venonat, and Bellsprout cards depicting a scene from FireRed and LeafGreen's seaside Snorlax encounter.

With only four expansion sets currently available (including the recent Mythical Island set), and more anticipated in the future, the hunt for these cleverly concealed references continues. Players are encouraged to explore existing cards and future releases for additional hidden details. The current Wonder Pick event featuring Charmander and Squirtle, and the ongoing debate about pack choice, provide further engagement within the game.
