Hey guys I was curious what cards have exclusive artwork for English only? I primarily collect Japanese but I saw the new champions path gengar and it got me wondering what other awesome artworks I have been missing out on! Might have to start collecting English cards now too!
The Holo English Birthday Pikachu is arguably printed only in English. Yes, there are other languages printed (English World Collection 2000; Japanese; Italian; French and German - still missing the German one in my collection ), but if you look closely at the artwork of the WOTC English Holo Promo, you see its artwork is zoomed in compared to the others (which arguably is a different artwork exclusively printed on this English card).
XY176 Pikachu EX (this Pikachu is released in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and even Russian, but surprisingly enough not in Japanese)
This Pikachu promo is not released in English, but also not in Japanese. It’s a Korean/Thai/Indonesian exclusive artwork. Some of the Vivillon cards are exclusives to certain languages (i.e. white to Russian, Green/Blue to Portuguese, etc.)
There’s also the New York Pokemon Center Black Star Promos. Pokemon Center 40 and Lucky Stadium 41. (Lucky Stad is exclusive, I believe the Pokemon Center is too, haven’t heard of it in other languages)
I don’t believe the Mewtwo Christopher Rush black star promo art has been mentioned. This was printed in Japan, but printed in English just on Japanese card stock with an English back still.
I personally own both of these and I really like the art work on them. Lucky stadium a little more than the Pokemon center but they each have their own unique aesthetics!

As always, awesome post @quuador. I only have a tiny remark on the Neo Gen Moo-Moo Milk. The Japanese VS series also used the altered English Neo Gen Artwork, which made it un-exclusive to English.
But that shouldn’t take away from your thorough post as a whole
I expect that Gengar and many other cards will be in Shiny Star V, it will be full of reprints and alternate arts. Already confirmed they are getting the Zacian V tin promo and CP Eldegoss V in it
All 5 Futsal cards (whenever they release…) will also of course be English (not the whole of the UK, just England) exclusives.
I had indeed mention some Call of Legends cards in my post above (Ampharos, Quilava, Typhlosion). There could be more perhaps, haven’t checked the entire set.
Didn’t knew about another Korean exclusive card though. Do you have a picture of that Zeraora?
