Reddit user asch_win initiated this discovery by highlighting Spearow's card, revealing the background subtly depicts Celadon City's Department Store and Route 16 from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Many card illustrations feature fantastical settings, some mirroring real-world collectible cards, while others are unique to Pokémon TCG Pocket. These hidden Easter eggs are prompting a community-wide investigation. Recent findings include the S.S. Anne on a Gyarados card and a trio of Oddish, Venonat, and Bellsprout cards forming a narrative set near the Snorlax location in FireRed and LeafGreen.

With only one additional booster pack ("Mythical Island") released since the October launch, bringing the total to four, more are anticipated. Wonder Pick Events and future updates promise further card additions and potential hidden references. Players are encouraged to remain vigilant for additional Easter eggs as Creatures Inc. and DeNA continue to expand the game's card roster. Currently, a Wonder Pick event featuring Charmander and Squirtle is underway, and the ongoing debate about pack choice impact continues. Check out the links for further details on the Wonder Pick event and the pack choice discussion.
