Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno who is a long time artist for Pokemon since the release of the Jungle set. She has contributed to over 600 cards including sets as recent as 2024. Her art style has a particular airy quality to it. Wispy winds, floating fuzz, bright light, and softer tones define the majority of her work and help set her apart from other long running artists.

Released in 2002 as one of the e-reader card sets. Thesis set was released in Japan in March and in English later that year, in September. This set features Pokemon from the first two generations, especially some of the starters like Charizard, Blastoise, and more.
