-
This temporarily drew Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex rare cards due to problems with plagiarism.
-
Both new engrossing rare designs are back in the game, created by the original artist Sie Nanahara.
In recent weeks, Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket has been embedded in plagiarism controvers. Just hours before the game's Johno-focused wisdom of sea and sky expansion would be released, a six-year-old fan art appeared on social media, with players who quoted similarities with one of the new sets chase cards: Ho-Oh ex.
Soon after, developer then released a statement and quoted problems with “reference material”, which led to Hoh-Oh ex (and Lugia ex) had their three-star engrossing rare cards that are temporarily deducted from the game while new art was created. This got a group of players to create their own, brilliant versions of the cards, while another group “harassed” the card's illustrator and took Ire from Pokemon Company and Dena.
Now, a little over a week after the situation began to develop, both new engrossing rare have entered the game – and they look good.
HO-OH EX and LUGIA EX's engrossing rares are back in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket
A few hours before they launched, Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocke Popet announced that Hoh-Oh Ex and Lugia ex would be back soon, and with today's morning update they are really back.
While both cards are similar to the design as the original versions, Ho-Oh that retains the saturated look and Lugia its powerful water-bending appearance, the models for the two pokemon are considerably different. However, they have both been designed by the original artist, Sie Nanahara, and showed that there were no repercussions for the previous incident proposed online.
You can see the comparison of the two Ho-Oh ex-upsetting rare here:
And the two Lugia ex engraving rare here:
Players who drew the place holder versions of these two engrossing rare cards bark Now the completed versions in their layers, and it is safe to say, they look much better than their temporary versions.
After their release, it seems that the animations have remained unchanged, with only the main card art updated. Now I just need to pull a both.
