This is the most common.
A lot of CCG (the most popular chinese grading company) 9.5 on surface has it too.
No they are not all the same copies, but like 10 of each. Trying to get 10 of each alt art vmax of every cards and 10-20 V. Some like Rayquaza V even 100 copies since they are cheap.

I see, well at least it’s only on the back?
Since you have so many, how are printlines? I’ve heard almost none compared to Japan, T-Chinese and other Asian languages. Is it true?
Completely false. 20% of my purchase are not nm and 50% of them I need to fight with support customer service XD. 90% of the case I win them lol. It’s completely pain in ass. The good thing is, shipping cost in China it’s extremely cheap. from 1-3$ tracked. Never got scammed. Never lost a package. Logistics it’s the best in the world based in my experience.

Oh but unfortunately having printlines doesn’t seem to be considered as part of whether anything is nm or not. Is it damage caused by print facility or from the sellers? Also what platforms do you use?

Radiant Venusaur with different artwork for Simplified Chinese
Absence of Pokémon GO stamp might mean cards from the set S10b Pokémon GO will be dispersed across the remaining combined SWSH 2022 sets for Simplified Chinese
Radiant Eevee, Radiant Charizard and Radiant Blastoise might have different artworks too (other than the Kouki Saitou one from VSTAR Universe)

Very unusual, must be a licencing thing with Niantic/Nintendo. Thanks for sharing!
I think it’s just that Pokémon GO was never released in China, so it wouldn’t make much sense to put a logo of a game you can’t even play on the cards.

Where did you find these? Is there a video or just photos?
similar to what koala posted earlier. not sure on the source. i believe it came from a stream video.
seems to be coming in the next S-Chinese set which is the start of year 3 of SwSh which also introduced Radiants.

some more cards I found on bilibili and the card I suspect to be the equivalent from the Pokemon Go set. I also found an image of a HR mewtwo VStar on there which is the same as the JP version, so that could mean that only cards with the Pogo stamp are impacted. (the cards with stamp also have the niantic copyright text on the border at the bottom)
edit: added slowbro

Funny that they are changing all the artworks, most of the cards don’t have that big ties to pogo after all. Those snorlax, charizard and slowpoke for example could have been in any set regarding artwork, even if they kinda try to mimic real world. Slowbro without doubt. Bulbasaur change from that pogo gift i can understand.
They have just taken the real life backgrounds away
Omg omg omg omg New snorlax art!!!

Pikachu was in the Pokémon GO set as well. Any leads on that? 
But cool (and weird) to see so many S.Chinese-exclusive artworks in this set. I wonder if we’ll see them in other languages eventually or they’ll remain S.Chinese-exclusive artworks. 
Greetz,

None of the openings that I watched showed a pokemon go pikachu but the amount of openings was quite limited and most people only showed their “hits” from the packs.
I am sure if the pikachu(s) will be printed in S-Chinese it will be with new art but we can’t say yet if they will be included in this set, a future set or perhaps as promos or somewhere else (or even not at all).
The S-Chinese set releases on June 18th so by then at least we should know the main set list of this release.
