#XY121, #XY122, #XY123, and #XY124 originally came from CP6, the set which became XY Evolutions, and had the same special pseudo-nostalgic EX template as we see for the Full Art EX cards in that set*. For the English edition, they’ve swapped their template to the standard one used for EX cards of the XY era. As far as I can recall, this would make this the first case of templates being swapped since the EX era, and I don’t know if those even really count**, ***? Rather, you probably have to go all the way back to the WOTC era for anything like this happening****.

** I’m thinking of TRR Copycat; the EN print has the “R” logo in the bottom left the JP print made a point of omitting. Dark Celebi is something similar – the card has a lot of other things going wrong (imo) in the localization process, but the swap from Rocket’s Celebi to Dark Celebi doesn’t just mean the “R” logo gets omitted, it also changes the card template insofar as dropping the jagged edges the artbox of Rocket’s Pokémon of the era had.
*** You could also make a case that every e-TCG card in the EX era is a template swap, since Japan dropped e-Reader support for their Generation III sets.
**** Southern Islands and WBSP30 Togepi use Neo-era templates for their EN print, where in Japan they used the Base-era templates. There’s probably other examples.
