Pichu – Diamond & Pearl: Mysterious Treasures

As we enter the Diamond & Pearl era, there’s a tendency for a lot of the cards to look washed out. This is no sleight against the artists, whose work is as stunning as ever, but too many of them get lost into the color of the card itself. That’s not the case for Yuka Morii’s contributions, all of which just pop. Aron, Happiny, Slakoth and Teddiursa are all bursting with color, but the most joyful is this baby Pichu. I love that it looks like the cheesiest of holiday photos.
