Many card illustrations feature fantastical settings, some even mirroring real-world collectible cards. However, others, like those featuring these hidden Easter eggs, are exclusive to Pokémon TCG Pocket.

The community's investigation continues, uncovering further references. A Gyarados card seemingly includes the S.S. Anne, while Oddish, Venonat, and Bellsprout cards collectively depict a scene reminiscent of the seaside Snorlax encounter in FireRed and LeafGreen.

With only one additional expansion, Mythical Island, released since October, players eagerly anticipate future expansions and updates, promising more hidden references. The current Wonder Pick event featuring Charmander and Squirtle, and the ongoing debate about pack choice, further fuel the excitement. Players are encouraged to remain vigilant for additional hidden references within the game's evolving card roster.
