H-uh-Oh.<\/strong><\/p>\n Overnight, The Pok\u00e9mon Company was hit by allegations of plagiarism ahead of the release of the new Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Pocket<\/a> expansion, Wisdom of Sea and Sky<\/strong>. And today, with the release of the expansion, TPC has pulled the card \u2014 plus one other card \u2014 in question.<\/p>\n In a statement issued on social media<\/a> (via IGN<\/a>), TPC “deeply apologize” for the error, which affects the Ho-Oh EX (3-Star) and Lugia EX (3-Star) cards drawn by SIE NANAHARA, which it puts down to a “production issue”. The expansion was datamined yesterday by fans, which is where the card art for Ho-Oh came from.<\/p>\n
