About this deal

When you look at the eyes of Grimer in the original compared to the international release you’ll notice some changes. With Misty being completely naked this card was doomed from the beginning to receive the alternative art treatment. Gambling to Gaming At the beginning of your turn, flip a coin. If heads, you can do nothing during your turn. If tails, your opponent can do nothing during his or her next turn. In the original artwork, someone thought Sabrina was giving them the bird, and with that look on her face she might have been. This is our first instance of completely new artwork. Why has this cow been reduced to a headless, legless, tailless stump? Why has this trainer collected this deformed cow for the purpose of feeding his Pokemon? These disturbing questions, coupled with the imagery of the Sentret taking its nourishment directly from the source, transforms the Moo-Moo Milk card into an “ utter-ly” unsettling barrage of nightmare fuel.

What’s Grimer doing in that manhole? More importantly, is he sneaking a peak up a girl’s skirt? Or does the girl just happen to be within Grimer’s ill-timed line of sight? While my list shows five different Jynx cards have been censored two of those cards are reprints. The reason for the censorship is Jynx itself. The original design of Jynx has been called, well I’ll just quote Carole Boston Weatherford here: Lastly, first edition Japanese cards feature a “first edition” mark on their bottom left-hand corners, which makes them more appealing to collectors. While English cards maintained this feature for a brief time, this is no longer the case.

Misty's Tears #118 (Pokemon Gym Challenge) Details

The following cards have had artwork changes done to their international release that make them different from their original Japanese release: The more interesting note on Jynx isn’t that Base, Base 2, Gym Heroes, Gym Challenge, and Legendary Collection were censored, it’s that a latter card from the Neo Revelations set features an uncensored artwork Jynx. In this guide, I’ll go over exactly what the changes were and why the change was needed, even if it’s quite obvious. The Censorship of Jynx This card's artwork was changed between the Japanese and English releases. The Japanese artwork (also by Ken Sugimori) features Misty being naked.

Before beginning your collect, it is always best to compare the differences between the two. Aside from obvious censoring differences, English cards have had many deviations from their Japanese counterparts—deviations that have led many fans to claim that the original Japanese cards are superior. To me, it’s obvious that Kogemoru Himeno wouldn’t admit to her actual intentions, but I’ll let you decide for yourself. Gengar Cross Out This is actually an artwork that not only got censored for the international release but actually got an altered image in the Japanese release too. The original artwork has a swastika near the top right. The following is a chronological list of all the Trainer cards released in the main Japanese expansions for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Jynx would start getting the purple face treatment on Japanese cards starting with the Expedition Set released December 1st, 2001 Grimer Being GrimyPokemon’s recurring “gambling” features have long been the target of censoring, so much so that the infamous Game Corners have either been removed or significantly altered in the most recently released Pokemon titles. All Pokemon cards dealing with the series’ notorious gambling are cropped to remove some of the more obvious, casino-esque giveaways (grounded seats, words like “slot” and “card,” and the telling rows of gambling machines). These censored cards may resemble arcade games to younger players, but the cards’ more mature implications aren’t likely to fly so easily over the heads of older collectors. Jynx (Base Set)
