The Pokemon Trading Card Game has rolled out a brand-new promotional event with exclusive cards, celebrating the winners of last year's "Illustration Contest" for the TCG. The beloved trading card game based on the long-running monster-catching franchise has often featured special promo cards, with some fetching particularly high prices on the secondary market. Franchise mascot Pikachu has seen some particularly valuable promos, with cards like the "Mario Pikachu" and Pikachu's XY-era "Poncho" cards fetching thousands of dollars. Now, a new set of exclusive promo cards are on the way soon.
The Pokemon TCG's annual "Illustration Contest" event has been a fan-favorite among Pokemon enthusiasts and collectors, rewarding the franchise's most talented fans. The contest features thousands of pieces of Pokemon artwork submitted by fans from around the world, with the chance for their art to be featured on a special promo Pokemon card. Last year's edition of the contest did see some major controversy surrounding some submissions, with several entrants being disqualified for using AI art. However, the winners have now been chosen and the newest Illustration Contest promos have been revealed.
