Hello there! While exploring the depths of the non-tcg Zigzagoon trading card rabbit hole, (the topsun vs cards are quite delightful and Zigzagoon has a shocking number of them) I encountered this:
From this site. These cards look dissimilar to anything I have seen before and a reverse image search does not turn anything up. I also do not recognize the art on the first more powerful zigzagoon, but it does appear on a handful of non-english language sites.
These cards do appear to be from some sort of card game given the attack and defense powers listed on the bottom, and there appears to be a type chart or similar on the card, but I really am at a loss! If anyone has seen anything remotely similar, not necessarily the Zigzagoon, l would love to see it so that we can solve this mystery!
Oh my goodness! I think that was the lead that I needed! Pointing out the hand symbol cracked the case wide open for me. Translating “Rock paper scissors trading card” and adding the Korean name of Pokemon right after it brought up a treasure trove of google results.
Most importantly, we have located both the Zigzagoon and pretty good evidence for bootlegs in one image:
This Houndour and Mightyena are also extremely suspect. It reads neopets to me, and that is a common fanart style of the time period. I suspect the Zigzagoon with the ball is also fanart
These listings are interesting! They are lots, take a look! Here, and here. There are plenty more if you search “가위바위보 트레이딩 카드 포켓몬”!
Thank you so much, and for welcoming me to the site lol
its me. I have been making bootleg seviper products for over a decade JUST in anticipation of you! Yes. All part of my elaborate plan. I will ensure that you are never finished.
