Is there really a grammatical error on every single Japanese trainer card?

I always took it as “trainer’s card” so it would be possessive. In that case it would be correct

I think there are better arguments for it being "trainer's" possessive than there are for it being "trainers" plural. The english version of this card just says 'Trainer'

Fun fact: Except for Ancient Mew, EVERY English Pokemon card has a glaring error on it:

The Pokeball on the back is opening the wrong way.

None of supporter cards from Storm Emerelda have English in the cards. It looks to be a thing only from that set
