Although known for his artistic work on the Mega Man franchise, illustrator Hitoshi Ariga is no stranger to the Pokemon series. Having participated in character design in main-line Pokemon titles since X & Y, Hitoshi Ariga has returned for his developmental role on Sword and Shield.

Confirmation comes from the artist's Twitter account, revealing that he was the designer for the new Pokemon, Corviknight. Hitoshi Ariga announced that he worked on other Pokemon as well but can not yet talk about which ones, since it would be considered spoilers.
