I’m glad there’s fans out there who appreciate the artwork , and how much the artist puts into their work , not like scalpers who only care about the value

I was expecting a video walking through a factory, this was actually even better going through the artist process.

Seriously an insightful video and lots of love for Saitou-san! Been wondering how Pokémon card illustrating process works, so this video has definitely been mind candy 🍬 seeing the coloring process was also so satisfying 😆. Loving this content JLuv!

Really educational vid about the Pokemon illustration process from start to finish. Appreciate you taking quotes from Kouki Saitou on his thought process. Makes me appreciate the artwork a lot more even with the commons and uncommons! So many channels focus on the money aspect of Pokemon cards, so it's a breath of fresh air to watch one focusing on the design process.

This may be your best video yet! Unsurprisingly, the process is very similar to other card games but it is always interesting to see the artist perspective. I don't think many of us (myself included) realize how much time is dedicated to creating just one card, from the illustration to card effects. Also, Creatures are 1/3rd owners of The Pokemon Company, along with Nintendo and Game Freak! Given how popular the TCG is, it's crazy to me how many people don't realize how involved Creatures are in the franchise. A lot of English collectors for some reason have this idea that WOTC created the TCG when it was Creatures.

Great video as always ! Thanks for sharing with us how those beautiful cards are made. I feel like non ultra rare cards do not enough recognition from people just because the drawing is not a full art card. But there is so many beautiful common cards out there.

Love the video but sadly it brings a tragic memory in my childhood...Roughly around when the Pokemon aired on our 📺 and before Pokemon TCG was available in stores. Like most kids, I feel in love with the series getting up early just to make sure I didn't miss a second of the show before school. At that time I was inspired, filled with passion to draw all 151 Pokemon and so I began to do so. I took out a red notebook like if it was a Pokedex with enough pages cos you know I "gotta draw them all" as suppose to "gotta catch them all" :P And everyday I would dedicate my time and effort to make sure my drawing was spot on or close in resembling to the pokemon and mind you (I still remember clearly) it was not so bad for a kid. I have probably filled my notebook about halfway each page dedicating to a pokemon and at this point I wanted to showcase to my class and friends. But unbeknownst to myself of what will transpire later that day would have me in ruins cos as you would have guess it...it was stolen from me. My blood , sweat and tears was poured into those pages and never to be seen again. No one ever owned up to it sadly nor I would ever feel passionate to draw again cos it would leave me feel angry or empty right after I complete a drawing. And by the time pokemon TCG reach to our hands it didn't resonate with me as to many others kids and sadly I would have trust issue soon after as the back of my mind I had a hutch that one my friends might have but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and put it behind me. .... Anyways thx for reading btw 2 decades later love Pokemon just don't draw unfortunately yet if I was able to participate I would. Peace ✌️ Y'all

are other point, the expansion theme, is very important takes count the theme are meaning of the set, for sample the contest of this year is "dyali live" for sample galarian rapidash are can stay in glimglow forest meanly are walk to take care of nature, cramorant to fish arracuda or try to eat anythingk in english version is difficult to see the temes because are mixed, but for sample the new expansion, of the mew, can see is like a "futuristic" city, these elements can see around in all cards the special of jewery more cards are cutie, are soft, like a photo on are show the more cutte possible, other expanion are takes count the steampunk elements etc or other are see a lot of flowers is very important pay atention to theme are meaning for can done the card, because the illustration of card are can feel are tell a history

@okJLUV

That is very true! I love how each expansion has a new theme that all cards share. Genesect V Special Art is so closely linked to the city theme, with Mew as well, they're all linked in the same city and era + setting. It's a beautiful extra touch.
