Ken Sugimori
Ken Sugimori is credited on more than 1,100 Pokémon TCG cards from 1999 to 2022, spanning sets such as Base, Gym Heroes, and Neo Genesis. The work favors clear, character-forward staging, playful moods, and vibrant-to-pastel color palettes with balanced, simple compositions.
“The card shows a Caterpie, a small green caterpillar-like Pokémon, against a swirling yellow background. Caterpie has large eyes and a pink mouth, and its body is segmented with lighter and darker green shades. The scene appears to depict a simple, natural environment.”
