We have been talking about Japanese exclusive artworks on many cards for a while (I am guessing most people living beyond Japan collect English cards so any card that does not have a English version becomes reasonably sought after) but a recent post that briefly addressed the initial exclusivity of dark raichu as an English exclusive artwork got me wondering - are there any (prominent) english cards with exclusive artwork? I only collect WOTC English cards so the only one I know is Christopher Rush’s mewtwo, which I believe was released in Japan but as an English card. Apparently we have quite a few in Call of Legends set which I will find out more as well.

This card comes to mind. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Snorlax_(Wizards_Promo_49)
The original was in the Vending series and had artwork drawn by a Japanese contest winner. Wizards used artwork drawn by an American contest winner for the English release.
Isn’t this Magmortar exclusive?
The Japanse artwork was too offensive for the west.

Which reminds me:
any Japanese old background cards that was deemed ‘offensive’ was altered in WOTC cards like:
- Grimer
- Koga’s Ninja Trick
- Misty’s tears
- Sabrina’s Gaze
I think we can consider these ^^^^ English exclusive (maybe?)

Off-topic: The only non-English AND non-Japanese artwork I know, released in Korean.EDIT: I knew I answered this before… www.elitefourum.com/t/cards-printed-exclusively-in-english/15040/1 Maybe the threads should be merged?

@funmonkey54 would be an expert in this 
Just a slight bump to this thread. I’ve discovered these two. It seems that they have art which does not appear on a Japanese card. Can anyone show me that I’m wrong?

@pkmnflyingmaster they most certainly look like English Exclusive artworks! it seems Call of Legends has got quite abit of them but I dunno how many!
Ah, just noticed you mentioned that set in your first post. My bad. Interestingly though, the four I listed are reprints of older cards but with new (yet very similar) artwork to the original print of the card.
