Pokemon has disqualified several entrants found to be in violation of the rules of a TCG Illustration Contest.

The Pokemon Company has disqualified at least one entrant of an illustration contest for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Earlier this month, The Pokemon Company announced the top 300 finalists of the annual Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest, a fan-driven contest in which the winners have their art appear on official Pokemon trading cards.

"We are aware that select entrants from the top 300 finalists of the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 have violated the official contest rules," a statement from The Pokemon Company reads."As a result, entrants in violation of the rules have been disqualified from the contest. Furthermore, additional artists participating in the contest will soon be selected to be among the top 300 finalists.

The illustration contest shows some of the ongoing complications caused by generative AI. While there are still some obvious hallmarks that give away an art piece as AI, the programs have improved immensely over the past year. Additionally, many professional artists are being accused of using AI, especially those who work with companies with executives that have spoken positively about AI in the recent past.
