My wife and I agreed we’d not go to worlds for the next two years as we just went to this year’s worlds in Hawaii (our first time going to worlds) and weren’t as interested in California as she’s been to Anaheim before and I’ve been to San Francisco before.
We did agree if there was Jigglypuff merchandise we would go… guess we’re going now!

I just now realized froakie is in this artwork 
Machamp may be referencing the Pokémon Center Online Renewal Preparation! Campaign (ポケモンセンターオンライン リニューアルじゅんびチュウ！キャンペーン), relaunching on February 28, the day after Pokémon Day
As for the other Pokémon cameos:
Vanillish → Upcoming BW sets Black Bolt & White Flare?
Kalos starters → PLZA?
Meowth & Murkrow → Upcoming Team Rocket set?
Jigglypuff → Disney? (near venue)
Toedscool → Scarlet & Violet era
Pikachu → franchise mascot

So it turned out that the Pokemon featured in the card were unrelated to the TCG after all.
PLZA still hasn’t released and I guess the rest are location-inspired (Murkrow, Machamp, Vanillite, Toedscool).
Fingers crossed for a Worlds themed lettermen jacket at the Pokemon Center.
