Pokémon-GX Pokémon CG Studio founded Pokémon-GX is a mechanic created for the Pokémon TCG's Sun & Moon Series. "I was inspired by the Z-Moves of Pokémon Sun and Moon. I made each Pokémon have a GX attack, and adjusted it so that difficult decision-making would happen for players around timing their usage. (Atsushi Nagashima) (December 9, 2016) We established the Pokémon CG Studio to improve the quality and quantity of Pokémon 3DCG production. "I wanted to have a team that supported the expansion and quality of the world of Pokémon, so I created a studio that focused on Pokémon." (Atsuko Ujiie) (June 26, 2017)
