The back of English-language Pokemon cards has finally been fixed after 25 years.
More specifically, the Poke Ball that sits in pride of place opens the wrong way.
However, as spotted by eagle-eyed fanTAHK0on Twitter, that seems to be changing.
There are added sparkles too, which makes the whole thing feel more dynamic.
I’d never noticed the Poke Ball goof before, and now I can’t unsee it…
Naturally, it’s not quite as simple as that.
Perhaps reprints could feature the revised design, and the old one is gradually phased out?
(I’m quickly realizing why the Pokemon TCG’s never tackled this issue.)
No matter what, it’d certainly be as good a time as any for change.
Why not use that as an opportunity to start over?
