If there was any set in the first generation that I wished I could have all the cards, it was the gym set…until further examination of the artwork. I have this card and loved the artwork until I saw a couple of mistake. First, Golduck only has three fingers but it has four here. Second, Golduck has four bump on the head yet here shown just half the side, it has three, which would total to six. I am very disappointed that it was ken Sugimori that made this mistake, and he made mistake on other works.

Yeah, like giving Pidgey 3 toes instead of 4.

Yes, that’s true! After looking some of his modified art of generation I, he retained pidgey with 3, and also to pidgeotto, along with spearow, but at least Zapdos was modified.

I did see a pigeon with 3 toes on each foot once, but it was limping.

None of this is a “mistake”. The designs of Pokémon weren’t necessarily finalized/formalized even as late as 1998, and Sugimori’s artwork here is the official artwork for Pokémon Blue. Much of the artwork he created for Blue contains changes to the designs of many Pokémon, presumably with the benefit of hindsight of seeing how the artwork was received, how it held up in animation, in 3D, and so on. I personally – almost invariably – prefer all the tweaks the Blue version art makes to various Pokémon, and will forever be baffled as to why when it came time to ‘standardize’ the original 151 starting with FRLG, a lot of the Blue version improvements got completely ignored.
