Nishida has produced illustrations for the TCG since the some of the earliest Japanese promotional cards, though her first in regular expansions was in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set. Nishida's style is distinctive, using an airbrush technique with a soft palette of colors that is easy on the eyes and convey the feeling that the portrayed Pokémon is at one with their environment. Light is also a large factor, using it to highlight key areas of the overall image to maintain the "soft" aspect.

She is found in the {{safari|Kanto}}{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/1|FRLG}}/[[GO Park]]{{sup/7|PE}}, looking for Erik (Japanese: コージ ''Kōji''), which may be a cameo of [[Kōji Nishino]]; he is found in [[Fuchsia City]]. In the Japanese version, they failed to meet each other due to a misunderstanding on the word "とり" (tori), which is also a pun. Erik used a bird Pokémon to arrive at Fuchsia City ("tori Pokémon" means "bird Pokémon"), while Sara is waiting for him inside the Safari Zone or GO Park ("Pokémon tori" means "obtain Pokémon").

Atsuko Nishida in 2018

Atsuko Nishida (Japanese: 西田敦子 / にしだあつこ Nishida Atsuko) is a graphic artist who has been involved with several aspects of the Pokémon franchise since it began. She was part of the graphics team on Pulseman, one of Game Freak's most successful early titles, working alongside Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri and artist Ken Sugimori. During the development of the first Pokémon games, she helped design key characters and several Pokémon, notably the cuter ones as opposed to the tougher ones.

Nishida is a character designer for the mascot of the Pokémon franchise, Pikachu. She stated that first design of Pikachu looked like a vertically long daifuku rice confection with ears.[1] She also modeled Pikachu's cheeks, which are used to store electricity, after squirrels storing food in their cheeks.[2] Nishida is also a fan of Eevee and the Eeveelutions, having personally designed almost all of the Eeveelutions, with the exception of Jolteon and Flareon.[3][4]

She also contributed to the conceptual design of characters that appeared in the first few Pokémon movies, as well as several of the main cast members of the Pokémon anime itself, including Ash Ketchum, Misty, and Brock.[5] Nishida has continued to work within many areas of the franchise, credited on the majority of the main series games and movies, and has produced an array of original illustrations for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. She is also the illustrator for the mini-comic series titled Together with Pokémon! (Japanese: ポケモンといっしょ！) for a monthly children's magazine, Chara Pafe (Japanese: キャラぱふぇ).
