I love Sugimori and his art, he's a legend and a key part of pokémon's history.
You have to love Sugimori for the fact that someone will describe to him an idea for a pokemon, and he makes it. Generic as they are, everyone else must comply to his designs.
I haven't seen an announcement of this yet, are there gonna be artists at worlds this year?
Ya, hes very good at that, and I have nothing wrong with how he does the pokemon. It's just that his art doesn't really belong on cards as its more of a guide line showing what the pokemon should look like then actual art.
That's not true, Suigimori's done some amazing cards in the past. Though he's lagging, I honestly prefer his art to clay and 3D images they use on cards, UGH.
I want Ken Sugimori to be there ! [LOL] I love his artwork!

he also draws some of the anime from what I understand, that's a lot of work x-x;
Ken Sugimori was there in 06, but I do not know about 07. I would assume that he would be there in 08.
I understand the artist drew Call Energy, so i gotta get my RH one signed. But what about all the other people? What will they sign?
Akabane is the only guest of the four who's actually done any art for cards (and only energy at that)

I don't care for teh 3d junk either, though the clay ones can be funny. I just perefer Arita or someone else who does similar artwork. Not something that looks like it took him 5min. to draw.
For the most part, the art of the cards is the best feature of the game....but thats me. I enjoy every style that they try out and it's cool because they try to keep things fresh. There is an exception though, I didn't really like those kiddy type drawings throughout the years, especially those vending machine promos in japan. I don't think all of them look dumb but I just didn't favor the art on those cards much.
I hope to see Ken Suigimori as well, he did some awesome Charizard pictures. Can't wait to hear the news....

I think that the actual game cart might be a little bit small to be signed. Maybe the box instead?
