The Pokemon Company has taken responsibility for the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket plagiarism, and has asked that fans not criticize the artist over the situation.
Pokemon TCG Pocket's Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion had a bit of a rocky launch as it was uncovered that card art for a new Ho-Oh EX card was plagiarized from a piece of fan art, resulting in a kind of hilarious card design being implemented in the meantime simply showing text saying "New art coming soon." However, in the time since, The Pokemon Company has put out a further statement about the situation, explaining where the issue stemmed from.
