5ban Graphics

An early example of 5ban Graphics' work

5ban Graphics is a group of artists within Creatures, Inc. who have illustrated many cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game from Black & White onward. The group has designed many Trainer Cards, as well as many Full Art cards and Pokémon cards for the Black and White, XY, Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet TCG Series.

In 2012, a brief interview about the creation of card artwork was posted on the Creatures, Inc. PTCG blog in which they state they like to make the Pokémon look 3D along with exemplifying the best qualities of the Pokémon when possible so they stand out on their own. The group's name is a reference to Creatures' former address at 10 Gobancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.[1]
