§ 02 — About Aquapolis

A look inside the set.

Aquapolis gathers 182 cards with a clear structural emphasis on Pokémon (152), complemented by 24 Trainer cards and 6 Energy cards. The rarity profile is evenly paced through Common, Uncommon, and Rare cards, then lifted by a substantial Rare Holo tier and a small set of Rare Secret cards. Across the set, the dominant look is cartoonish and vibrant, with playful and lighthearted moods leading the tone. Compositions tend to stay simple, balanced, and focused, keeping characters readable while still allowing occasional dynamic movement.

Among the visual highlights, Bellossom (H5) and Ninetales (25) stand out as reference points for the set’s bright palette and approachable staging. The illustrator roster is deep, with major contributions from Hajime Kusajima, Kagemaru Himeno, Naoyo Kimura, and Atsuko Nishida. Their combined presence helps define Aquapolis as a collection that prioritizes clear silhouettes, cheerful color, and straightforward framing, with intermittent shifts into more mysterious or energetic moments.

Aquapolis reads bright and character-first: vibrant color dominates, often tempered by pastel and soft accents, with occasional contrasting pops. The prevailing mood is playful and lighthearted, and the most common layouts are simple, balanced, and tightly focused—favoring clean staging over dense background detail, with select cards introducing more dynamic motion.

II · Illustrators

The set’s visual consistency is shaped by its most frequent contributors: Hajime Kusajima and Kagemaru Himeno lead the count, followed closely by Naoyo Kimura and Atsuko Nishida. Together, they anchor Aquapolis in approachable, colorful illustration with clear character emphasis across many of the Pokémon cards.
