Mewtwo V’s Alternate Art Pokémon Card Comes to Life in Times Square

The Mewtwo V alternate art Pokémon card from the Pokémon GO TCG set features a dramatic New York City setting, and Times Square provides an almost exact real-world match for the card’s backdrop. The scene highlights how closely the artwork reflects the city environment, making it a striking example of Pokémon card art lining up with an actual location.
