Pok\u00e9mon is a cultural phenomenon<\/a>. The famed series has been adapted into multiple forms of media: television shows and movies, manga, and games. But who remembers collecting <\/span><\/span>Pok\u00e9mon card packs back in the day (long before the card game gained traction)? I do, although I never actually learned how to actually play. Apparently that uncanny background art from classic <\/span><\/span>Pok\u00e9mon cards \u2014 you know, the scenic environments with vast meadows and far off trees that never meshed well the cartoony aesthetic of the featured <\/span><\/span>Pok\u00e9mon \u2014 was just pulled from a collection of stock images.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I managed to find a bunch of source images used as backgrounds in Pokemon cards, here’s a few of them. pic.twitter.com\/NMJ6VaSqOa<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter user Fanamel<\/a> scoured the deepest corners of the internet to find the true mythical origins of <\/span><\/span>Pok\u00e9mon background art so that we wouldn\u2019t have to. According to Fanamel, the compilation of backdrops comes from a stock image series called Datacraft Sozaijiten<\/a>. \u201cThis series is used in a lot of Japanese media and Nintendo games which is how I found them,\u201d reads Fanamel\u2019s tweet. You can watch them work their magic in the short video above. Even the hilarious \u201cImposter Professor Oak\u201d card, which appears to just have a picture of a metal wall as a background, comes from the Datacraft Sozaijiten collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other fans have contributed to Fanamel\u2019s thread with other gifs and short videos of the stock images being layered behind the <\/span><\/span>Pok\u00e9mon art.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In other Pok\u00e9mon news, Brian Shea got a sneak preview into the upcoming New Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0Snap<\/a> game and liked what he saw, “New Pok\u00e9mon Snap is effective at recapturing the magic of the first title. With a new region, new mechanics, and a vastly expanded collection of Pok\u00e9mon to pull from, I’m excited to see how this entry improves upon the original.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
