Pokémon TCG Pocket players see iconic Game Boy game locations in artwork
Pokémon TCG Pocket players have noticed references to the Game Boy games in the backgrounds of many of the cards.
The digital card game launched with unique immersive cards that allow players to immerse themselves in works of art, but it’s the simpler cards that have caught fans’ attention.
On Reddit, user asch_win used a map image to determine the exact location of the characters. For example, the Spearow card has buildings and trees in the background that are likely part of the Fire Red/Leaf Green Pokémon Celadon City, outside of which Spearow can be caught.
Another Reddit user, jteede, also identified specific game locations in map images. Shiny Diglett’s map is located near a cave near Vermillion City; The Ghost is located between the infamous Lavender Town Pokemon Center and the Pokemon Tower; and Doduo is on Highway 17 East Bike Path, and that’s three.

The Mythical Island set was added back in December, headlined by Mew.
However, it is unclear when the next set will be released, although trading is still “coming soon.”
