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 'Misty's Tears' captures a tender moment between Misty and a small, comforting Pokémon. Misty gently wipes away a tear, her expression a mix of vulnerability and affection, while the Pokémon looks on with concern. This scene feels intimate, as if it exists in a quiet corner of their world where emotions are shared freely. It evokes a sense of connection and care that resonates deeply.”
