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 depicts Dark Alakazam in a moment of intense concentration, its eyes glowing with psychic energy as it prepares to unleash its powers. The dark background adds an element of mystery, emphasizing the Pokémon's connection to the shadows. With its unique pose, Alakazam seems to embody both intelligence and a hint of menace, suggesting a deeper, perhaps darker, side to its character. This scene captures the essence of Dark Alakazam, showcasing its role as a formidable psychic force.”
