The reason the design on the back of the cards hasn’t changed elsewhere in the world and likely never will is because it would disrupt the cohesion of fan’s collections and more importantly, would have an impact on official tournaments, since the backs of all cards must be identical.

A recent post on Twitter from reminded almost 5,000 people of this error this past week. Traditionally when the Poke Ball opens the center button rises with top half of the ball, but the back of the cards had the button sticking with the bottom half of the ball. The back of all of the cards depicted the Poke Ball as opening the wrong way. RELATED: Rare Pokemon Card Sells for Over $200,000įrom the very first card released in Japan however, there was an error.
