Naoyo Kimura has contributed Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2000 to 2025, spanning Aquapolis, Southern Islands, and Sword & Shield. The work leans playful and lighthearted, with balanced, character-focused staging and vibrant, softly watercolor-leaning color.
“The card depicts Beldum, a small, metallic Pokémon, gently floating amidst a serene backdrop of lush greenery. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a soft glow that highlights Beldum's sleek, blue body and its distinctive red eye. The scene conveys a sense of calmness, as Beldum appears to be at ease in its natural habitat, perhaps contemplating its surroundings. This moment captures the quiet beauty of a Pokémon fully integrated into its world.”
