He is also responsible for designing many of the main characters in the Pokémon video games, such as Red, Blue, and the various Gym Leaders. Also among his work is a majority of early Pokémon cards Ken Sugimori also helped with the design of Pokémon characters on the popular videogames Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, and was the prime character designer for Pulseman, an earlier game of GAME FREAK for the Sega Mega Drive.
