Kyoko Umemoto has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2002 to 2025, spanning eras from E-Card to Sword & Shield. The work leans cartoonish and playful, with balanced, clear compositions and vibrant-to-pastel color palettes that keep scenes lighthearted and readable.
“The Koffing card depicts the Pokémon floating in a cluttered urban setting, surrounded by swirling clouds of gas. Its round, purple body and playful expression suggest a character that thrives in this chaotic environment, searching for the source of intriguing odors. The background hints at a world often overlooked, filled with remnants of daily life. This scene captures Koffing's quirky nature, perfectly suited to its surroundings.”
