The Pokémon TCG came under fire this last week as fans noticed that a new card seems to be based on traced fan art that was stolen by the company and replicated.
People act as of Pokemon isn’t the most low effort franchise ever that never bucks trends, always plays it safe, are litigious and will begrudgingly improve when things finally start slowing down. I absolutely hate the Pokemon Company and the fans deserve the slop they pump out
Why do they pay for art? There is a massive fan base. Host a fan art site. "We may use any all or none of the art posted on cards. Atribution only."
Thing is… they say this clearly in their official website. Any pokemon fanart is theirs to use.
Dont want them to use the art? Dont publish it.
