Who made the first Pokémon card?
The first Pokémon card was created by Satoshi Tajiri along with the illustrator Ken Sugimori. Tajiri, the genius behind the Pokémon concept, worked with Sugimori to bring the cards to life visually. This dynamic duo made the first card around the early '90s, kickstarting what we now know as the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Wasn't just Tajiri & Sugimori, guys. Don't forget about Creatures Inc. They co-developed the game with Game Freak and Nintendo. They all had a hand in making those first cards.
Actually, it's all about Nintendo. They're the ones who published it and really made it happen.
