    https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Team_Magma's_Aron_(Double_Crisis_12)

    Aron, which even devour metal, can eat and destroy enemy ships in an instant.

    Look at all those cute lil’ guys munching away! And there’s that one sitting on top of the tailfin that I guess is just dabbing on the Team Aqua guy.


    The illustrator, Akira Komayama (Bulbapedia, The Art of Pokémon) is quite prolific, having started illustrating for the TCG in 2010 and having 236 cards to their name (plus 31 cards on TCG Pocket). You can see more of their work on their personal website[1], Bluesky (via Subium, since their profile requires you to log in), personal Twitter, and Pokémon-only Twitter, and you can check out their artbooks here.

    Also, now I finally know where your profile picture comes from: this Full Art Trainer Gallery version of Starmie V illustrated by Komayama! (Bulbapedia, The Art of Pokémon)

    The Full Art Trainer Gallery version of Starmie V from the Astral Radiance set (linked above). The text for the card can be viewed in the Bulbapedia article above. The artwork spans the entire card, showing a view from above of Misty and her Starmie lounging in a pool. Misty is laying face-up on a Poké Ball-themed inner tube, wearing a simple blue athletic two-piece bathing suit. Her arms are clasped behind her, supporting her head with her hair in a side ponytail. She has one eye closed, with the other eye looking towards Starmie, and her legs are draped over the edge of the inner tube, one loosely crossed over the other. There is a tray floating with various treats, including a tropical drink and pancakes with jam and jelly on the side.


    1. I linked to the Internet Archive since their site doesn’t support HTTPS, but if you’re okay with that you can go directly there: http://dekopooon.jp/ , although the IA copy seems to be up-to-date. Also, there’s quite a lot more art on there than what’s immediately visible just on that one page, so I’d encourage you to click around; clicking on individual illustrations will often reveal more from that series. In particular, don’t miss that 👉️ at the bottom of the page which will allow you to navigate to additional pages of artwork. ↩︎

          In Gen I, if you go to the Pewter Museum, you can see a space shuttle—rather ominously, the Space Shuttle Columbia.

          A screenshot from Pokémon Blue viewed with the default Game Boy Color palette. The player character is facing a space shuttle on a pedestal inside the Pewter Museum; the dialog box reads (in all caps) "Space Shuttle Columbia".
