If you’ve played Pokemon Black & White, X & Y, Sun & Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, or Sword & Shield, then you’ve played a Pokemon game where James Turner was the art director. The first westerner to design an official Pokemon at Game Freak, Turner’s personal designs include Buzzwole, Guzzlord, Trevenant, Phantump, the Galarian versions of the Obstagoon line, and the ice cream Pokemon, Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe. So they weren’t all great, but most of Turner’s designs were pretty good Pokemon.
