Tokuda Yumenosuke only directed about 15 episodes of the Pokemon anime and one special (The Blue Badge of Courage dubbed as part of Pokemon Chronicles,) but he has such an appealing art style, with thick lineart that tapers to fine points, defined corners of lips, fun expressions, and just such a lovely art style in general. Every character looks better in his style! There's still this 90's anime-esque sharpness to it (the very stiff popped collars, the little M part in Shuu/Drew's hair, even the shading style is more zig-zaggy... you'll notice as you move into the 2000's, anime prefer a simpler halo shine that shows smoothness for the most part rather than a detailed, more zig-zaggy shine that shows texture/implies strands.)
(Check out Shuu/Drew's introduction episode where he's still more of a cocky jerk before he loses the very 90's anime little part in his hair and his design turns softer and rounder along with his personality... he had his thorns filed down as he was forced to acknowledge Haruka as his equal after she saves his life and he drops the -kun and they no longer a senpai-kouhai dynamic. :D; )
Iwane is the most skillful animator and Tamagawa is my favourite for sheer style (those adorably huge eyes and more natural silhouettes--check out how natural Iris and Dent's figures are compared to how lower detail and more compact/cartoony they look in other animators' styles), but Yumenosuke has this dramatic, solid art style and I just love it.
The corners of mouths and thick, tapering lineart are the most distinctive tells. Also, little wrinkles and folds and things. Check out the wrinkles on Mightyena's snout!!
Naturally, he's also the one who drew the (much nicer) first half of the unfortunate Groudon VS Kyoge two-parter... which also had this fun scene where Ash and Mightyena stare each other down and growl (yes, feral Ash, growling at a hyena/wolf/dog monster.)
It's easy to recognize it as his work too because just look at Izumi (Shelly)! The hair animation (which was very rare back in that era of the Pokemon anime, it was so stiff, aha...), the face, and again, really stretching the expressions.
Other important episodes Tokuda worked on was the episode Misty said goodbye to Togetic... (again, look at the very 90's shine to the hair in the sunset. Also, the hair has more of a natural texture in that closeup. ^^)
So, I hope this helps you appreciate an animator you might not've known the name of before, even if you might've loved their work. ^^ It's quite fun if you recognize the unique touches each animator and artist brings to the characters.

SHOWERING OR BATH TIMES WITH HUSBAND ALASTOR?!?!?!
YES
Alastor X Reader Headcanons
✅️Romantic
❌️Platonic
TW: Suggestive
Description: ☝️⬆️
Bath time with Alastor is one of the most relaxing things you can do with him
It's the best because of the obvious trust he's giving you with his body, his guard down
As his wife, you're the only person who gets to see this side of him
He starts to find excuses to get you to shower or bathe with him, sometimes he's subtle about it and other times, he's not
"Alastor!!"
"My dear, you're soaking wet! Luckily, I have just the remedy for those cold bones~ A hot bath~"
🥶🙄😑😮💨🙂↔️
He likes bubble baths but won't ever admit it to anyone besides you, the bubbles just add something a little ✨️
Will literally melt into your chest the moment you start scrubbing his hair, the attention making him go lax
Not his ears going flat against his head and twitching
Sometimes he lets out a few happy growls or bleats whenever you massage somewhere particularly sore
Sometimes forgets he's in a bath and will try to snuggle into you only to get a shock of water in his face, arms wrapped loosely around your hips
There's just something so special about spending uninterrupted quality time with your husband like this
Not that he just takes baths to have you pamper him, he likes doing the same for you as well
He's used to people being wary of him or not fully trusting him, so watching you relax under his care-knowing just how dangerous he is
And trusting him with his claws and his teeth with your bare body? In your most vulnerable state?? It does things to him
Sometimes you forget how strong your husband is, but in these moments when he's maneuvering your body around to better wash you??
He could easily manhandle you if he wanted to
Takes his time washing your body but not necessarily in a sexual way, more like he's admiring fine art that he's allowed to touch
It's like the most heavenly massage, especially when his claws scrape ever so gently against your flesh
Sometimes, the two of you will just lay together and listen to music while waiting for the water to go cold
Maybe you two drink some tea
Showers with Alastor are a little bit different, not by much though
He kisses your body a lot more in the shower, no longer deterred by soap or stagnant water
You two don't normally have as much time together in the shower so the touches are a little more rushed, more rough
Still pleasurable though
It's not as much about cuddling and being close as it is about cleaning each other
Sometimes sex
If you come out with a few more love bites on you than before well...
Alastor is going to be stepping out with some of his own because we all know he started it
You two literally take up ALL the hot water when you shower together, Angel fucking HATES IT
Too bad bby boi
Your husband in all his wisdom even manages to always have the softest, warmest towels waiting for you
If you really play up the cute wife act then you're sometimes able to convince him to carry you to the bedroom
"Oh fine! Just stop using those doll eyes on me~"
As much as he wishes he could just lay in bed with you and never get dressed...you both have work to do
But he cherishes the moments he gets to bathe/shower with his beautiful wife and always looks forward to the next
This one was so adorable 🥹 I hope you liked it
