Thought it might be nice to have a thread highlighting all the women that have made pokemon the huge success it is today!
Feel free to share some of your favourite tcg artists, voice actors, etc
I’ll have to start with Atsuko Nishida who is not only a great tcg artist, but also the character designer for Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle!
Absolute banger.
Just got:
Yuka Morii is responsible for perhaps the most memorable and differentiated Pokemon cards in my opinion
I’d like to thank Sumiyoshi Kizuki for her 2 art styles she used in the past for Pokémon TCG (Bold lines & Lineless) … and also for illustrating my favourite Pokémon TCG card (which is Delibird from Mysterious Mountains/Skyridge expansion) …
It might be a common card, but this Delibird made me appreciate the species more and start collecting All Delibirds (originally I was going to collect only the 8 variants of this card, but goal has expanded to more Delibird cards)
I think Saya Tsuruta deserves a lot of love.
She has designed several Pokémon,
Illustrated all of the location previews in HGSS,
Is known for hiding Pokéballs in the TCG artwork,
And is an overall fantastic artist. She’s easily one of my favorite artists.
I met Shibuzoh earlier this year so I’ll go with her! Wish I had thought to take a pic together, darn!
That is an insane sketch! Just looks phenomenal on the card. Thanks for sharing and congrats on being able to get it!
Cheers!
Happy international women’s day
