Hello, I am back with another Pokémon game designer, as I am on my own quest to figure out where "jobmons" came from. I am the author of the James Turner thread if anyone enjoyed that one. If this one gets enough attention I'll do another tomorrow or so.
Today I wanted to talk about Hitoshi Ariga, a Pokémon designer that was well known for his works in creating art for the Pokémon Trading Card Game during 2011. He began creating new Pokémon for X&Y. Like I stated in my last thread. Gamefreak began hiring more and more video game designers exactly whenever people began complaining about the designs during generations 4-6. Ariga also had a DeviantArt where he drew Pokémon in 2010 before being picked up as a card artist. Ariga is known for creating the following artwork for the Pokémon video game series.

https://www.serebii.net/card/dex/artist/hitoshiariga.shtmlSimilar to James Turner I feel as if these Pokémon are very hit or miss. What do you think of Hitoshi Ariga's contributions to the series as a whole? Do you like his Pokémon? Courtney, Shelly, and unfortunately Ogerpon are very popular as waifu's. Do you own any of his trading cards? Thanks for reading this far.
