Can anyone become a Pokémon card artist?

Look at these low effort cards. They could literally pick up a new born child. Kid would draw at the same consistency they do. If this what it takes to work as an artist for the Pokemon TCG I might have a slot on their roaster waiting for me….

Most alternate arts are high quality but I’m sure I’ve got the ability.

iirc i remember hearing that kindergarteners designed/invented many of the original kanto pokemon. No idea if it's true, but they do look like they were.

Especially ones like Claffairy or Jigglypuff. Some Pokemon are just bruised ovaries

Lol thats the first time I've heard them described that way but yeah.

Most Pokémon fans must be girls because balls play a huge part on designing them. Charizard got balls for knees, Rayquaza has ball shoulders, Groudon got ball… hips or waist whatever, Voltorb is literally just a testicle, the list doesn’t end

Then you have Master balls, ultra balls, safari balls, pokeballs, etc. 😂

Most pokemon fans are girls, but I'm fairly sure its because the designs are cute oriented, not because of balls. As a kid mtg was more popular with boys.

not anyone could for sure
its more than just drawing talent or else we would've seen way better cards

You must not have seen the Arceus Vstar SIR from Crown Zenith or the new Terastal Shiny Charizard SIR from Paldean Fates, those are TOP TIER cards in terms of artwork. It can’t get any better with ones like this
