Now Playing: Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket - Official Launch Trailer

"It has come to our attention that there was a production issue regarding the illustration of Ho-Oh featured in the immersive card artwork for Ho-Oh EX (3-Star) and Lugia EX (3-Star)," the statement explains. "After internal review, we discovered that the card production team provided incorrect materials as official documents to the illustrator commissioned to create these cards. As a result, both cards have been replaced with a temporary placeholder that the team is actively working to replace with new artwork as soon as it's ready."

It also notes that a "broader investigation" is underway to make sure that there is no other plagiarised art in the game. The cards are still available to pull in-game, but as shown by some users online, instead of any art there is just text that reads "New Art Coming Soon."

Lanjiujui also released a statement earlier today following The Pokemon Company's, thanking it for its "attentiveness and swift action in removing the image."
