Hitoshi Ariga
Hitoshi Ariga is credited on Pokémon Trading Card Game cards from 2013 to 2024, with artwork appearing across Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and XY. The work favors cartoonish, anime-leaning character design, energetic moods, and vibrant, contrasting color palettes.
“The card depicts Alolan Geodude emerging from a rocky crevice, its expression a mix of determination and curiosity. The surrounding dark stone enhances its vibrant colors, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye. This moment captures the essence of its rugged environment, where strength and adaptability are essential. It feels like a snapshot of a Pokémon ready to face the challenges of its rocky habitat.”
