I have seen this card so so many times and never paid it any mind other then the quick glance of recognition of what it is as I have shuffled through cards and it came up. I’ve never studied it but I have definitely looked at it enough I’m surprised I never noticed. So am I the only one that sucks and took years to notice that this meowth is surrounded by Pokemon?! Or some sort of sculpture like pokemon renditions haha. Starting at 11 o clock and going clockwise: bulbasaur, venomoth, geodude, charizard, (not sure of the circled in red one), staryu, jigglypuff (I think), lapras, golbat, and then the other one I’m not sure of (eevee perhaps?) If you know the circled ones let me know! Maybe some of you will have never noticed it like me or perhaps alot of you have, either way this card brought me alot of joy realizing this. It’s awesome still being able to learn new stuff as time goes on! This hobby is deeeeeeep.
Crazy find, I think the bottom right is pikachu? The “spikes” on its head would be its ears. If it is I will have to add it to my pikachu collection on Non pikachu cards haha.
I think the bottom right is a Pikachu too, everyone looks at the Meowth so you see its back and the ears and tail and even hands are clearly visible. And Charizards leg is hidden behind Pikachus head.
I had originally missed this in my shared artwork binder, too. I noticed the Pokémon there after I’d already put over 400 cards across 3 binders, and this Meowth would sit at position #18 in the first binder… needless to say I haven’t gotten around to shifting all those cards by 1 yet!
In terms of WotC hidden Pokémon my favourite has to be Sprout Tower from Neo Genesis. For years I believed there was just a big cloud in the background…
