As a passionate gamer last year, I found myself deeply engrossed in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Illustration Contest. It was more thrilling than usual due to whispers that several finalist pieces might have been crafted by artificial intelligence. However, after dealing with these suspicions, The Pokémon Company took the stage and announced their victors. Now, the cards inspired by the winning artworks are on their way!
The top three winners saw their designs transformed into exclusive Pokémon TCG promo cards. These prized cards will be distributed as part of a unique distribution event starting February 21st. And for those keeping track, yes, that’s just about a week before Pokémon Day and, presumably, another exciting Pokémon Presents showcase.
The top three cards from the 2024 Illustration Contest showcase original, fan-made images of Feraligatr, Pikachu, and Toxtricity EX. Pikachu, initially designed by Kazuki Minami, won the grand prize due to its endearing yawn. In the Standard Card illustration category, Acoviart secured the victory with their representation of Feraligatr. Lastly, Anderson claimed the Best EX card illustration award for Toxtricity. For those who are interested, here’s a look at the moves depicted on each card:
