While many card illustrations depict Pokémon in fantastical settings, some directly reference in-game locations or even real-world collectible cards. Others are unique to Pokémon TCG Pocket, making these Easter eggs particularly exciting.

The community is actively searching for more hidden references. Recent findings include the S.S. Anne on a Gyarados card and a trio of Oddish, Venonat, and Bellsprout cards forming a narrative linked to the Snorlax encounter in FireRed and LeafGreen's seaside area.

With only one additional booster pack, "Mythical Island," released since October, and more expected in the future, alongside Wonder Pick Events, the hunt for these hidden details continues. Players are encouraged to keep a close eye on new releases for further references. Meanwhile, the current Wonder Pick event featuring Charmander and Squirtle, and the ongoing debate about pack choice impact, remain hot topics within the community.
