Just saw a random card in a bulk box that made me think I was going crazy. The Victreebel from Aquapolis:
Was straight up reprinted in Celestial Storm:
I wasn’t aware that Pokemon did this “casually” outside of specific anniversary sets like Evolutions, Celebrations, etc. Are there any other examples like this?
I think neo genesis donphan was reprinted in a sun and moon set too.
There are definitely a few more that i cant think of
Celestial Storm includes cards from the Champions Path set which intentionally included past playable cards and a lot of reprinted art.
Ruby and Sapphire Torchic 74 was reprinted in Dragon Majesty (as well as in the 25th anniversary Jumbo). Across all languages, printings, and EX codes there are 55 different cards with this art lmao
As for Torchic cameos, there was a frankly ridiculous amount of reprinting of the switch card with a Torchic on it (110 across all languages, printings, and EX codes). In the DP era, they did the same thing with the Lucario switch card.
The Torchic and Steelix definitely hit the mark. For some reason I thought they never did that!
Ones like the scyther I get because they are secret rares that are modernizations of the original… but what’s to say they will never reprint desirable art? Something akin to reserve list in MTG?
Obviously nothing is off the table (Classic Collection LOL) but I I’m just feeling like this because I never noticed it before
Do we count cards where Pokemon has similar pose as in original card ( aka Neo Genesis )?
Just the background had major change for Undaunted print.
Tbf, language and EX code variants are not really “different cards”. It’s really only 2 cards with the same art.
In my binder they are all different cards 
But yeah, I know haha
Another good example is the Secret rare charmander line from base set being redrawn in DP Stormfront
!This also leads in funny situations where it looks like an artist not illustrating pokemon cards anymore has randomly made a new modern card
Idk why but dragon frontiers reprinted a bunch of artworks from older set, like Ralts, Kirlia, Larvitar and Pupitar:
Also plenty of trainer cards got reprinted during the years, here some examples:
This Grimer Ken Sugimori art was used in Secret Wonders(Diamond and Pearl)
Later, in Team-up(Sun and moon) the exact same model is used, but with a different background
Excluding different stamps, holofoil version, languages, the Base Set Jumbo, etc., there were still a lot of different re-uses of the Base Set Pikachu artwork. 
Base Set; Base Set 2; French/Belgium Shadowless Jumbo; Japanese Teach Set 2000; Japanese miniature 10th anniversary keychain; Rising Rivals; XY Evolutions; Japanese Solid Golden 20th Anniversary promo; Celebrations; golden Premium Collection; 25th anniversary Jumbo; Pokémon TCG Classic deck.
Greetz,

What are species collectors doing when they use the same arts years later? I sort by artwork release, so Jungle is first, Prismatic Evolutions is last in my binder.
