§ 02 — About Legend Maker

A look inside the set.

Legend Maker (EX series) presents a compact 93-card collection with an emphasis on Pokémon artwork: 82 Pokémon cards are supported by 9 Trainers and 2 Energy. The rarity mix spans Commons and Uncommons through Rare and Rare Holo, with a smaller layer of Rare Holo EX, a handful of Rare Holo Star cards, and a single secret rarity entry. Across the set, the prevailing look is cartoonish and colorful, with vibrant palettes and straightforward layouts that keep subjects easy to read.

The dominant mood stays lighthearted and playful, occasionally shifting into more mysterious notes, while compositions remain mostly simple, balanced, and focused. Among the visual highlights, Arcanine ex, Mew ex, and Pikachu δ stand out as reference points for the set’s brighter, character-forward approach. Artist coverage is broad, and the overall effect is a gallery of clean silhouettes, energetic poses, and high-chroma color decisions that keep the pages feeling lively without becoming visually dense.

I · Visual identity

Legend Maker favors bright, vibrant color with frequent pastel and contrasting accents, presented through simple, balanced, and focused compositions. The prevailing tone is lighthearted and playful, with occasional mysterious undertones; most scenes keep the subject centered and readable, prioritizing clean character presence over complex backgrounds.

II · Illustrators

Ryo Ueda leads the set by volume, with substantial contributions from Mitsuhiro Arita and Midori Harada. The illustrator mix supports the set’s consistent clarity—clean character staging, colorful rendering, and a steady preference for straightforward, subject-first compositions.
