RE: Best and Worst artists in the TCG
Yeah, Sugimori has been a huge part of it since the beginning. He, Mitsuhiro Arita, and Kejii Kinebuchi were practically the only artists in the base set (not counting whoever did Porygon and a few obscure trainers.) They seem to have silenced him now, as the last set he did art in was EX Deoxys. However, I guess it's an on-and-off thing, because he did no work in any of the E-Reader sets. Did you know he created the 1st and 2nd generations of Pokemon? But, let's get back on topic. Please, just list your top 5.

Definitely Deoxys EX. My first set I ever got an EX in!

RE: Best and Worst artists in the TCG
Want to hear some of the worst work Atsuko Nishida has done? 3 great examples from Team Rocket Returns: Sandshrew, Ekans, Dratini!

Best uncommon pokemon
Uncommon is seldomely used, but which is your favorite and/oor the best?
I think Rhydon HL and Weezing DX are too good to be uncommons, but they are. So they are best.

Best common Pokemon (for power)
I personally think the most powerful common is Rhyhorn from Hidden Legends. 50 damage, and only 10 recoil! Beat that!

RE: Best common Pokemon (for power)
I think he's talking about circle rarity cards...
Technically, you could do an infinite amount of damage with EX: LM Seedot, but it is extremely unlikely that you will get past 6 or 7 heads.
As far as raw power goes, that would probably go to POP 1 Swellow (which is common). Unboosted, Agility does 30 damage and a chance at preventing effects from attacks. Boosted, it does 70 damage. It has a free retreat cost and 70 HP. Pretty strong.
Geodude from LM is another close candidate. It can Selfdestruct for 50 to both active monsters and 10 to all bench.

RE: Best and Worst artists in the TCG
What?! Atsuko Nishida's art is amazing.. what's so bad about it? We can't argue without arguments, after all.
Also, don't double post please. Rules are listed at the top of every forum.
Best
5.) Ken Sugimori - Simple style, but turns out nice.
4.) Yuka Morii - Um.. cute. 'nuff said? Best Works: Xatu DX(?), Dittos DS
3.) Kouki Saitou - The rough style works very well, and his/her dark style as well. Best works: Metagross HL (holo)
3.) Masakazu Fukuda - Detail and clean edges works really well. Best works: Entei*
2.) Atsuko Nishida - I like Atsuko Nishida's soft style - that is, his/her older style, eg. TRR. The new style he/she has (eg. LM) is nice, but I liked the older style better. Best works: Lileep LM, Dratini TRR, Sandshrew TRR, Ekans TRR =P
1.) Kagemaru Hinemo - Amazing shading and lighting skills. Best works: Wurmple DX, Gardy EM, Milotic EM, Gorebyss/Huntail HL
Worst
4.) Hikaru Koike - Works are too dark for my tastes. Lugia ex looks like Rocket's Lugia. Typhlosion ex (SS) is just disgusting.. but has some good works (eg. Rocket's Scyther ex, Kingdra ex is a masterpiece)
3.) Miki Tanaka - No grasp of Pokemon anatomy whatsoever.
2.) Yukiko Baba
1.) Tomokazu Komiya - A 3-yr old could do better. Come on.
EDIT: Heh, Jayh reminded me about Hikaru Koike and Masakazu Fukuda.

(Jayh: Not gonna argue with you, but I just wanted to point out that Hajime Kusajima has changed styles a huge amount of times.)
