Saito's style is vibrant and surreal, and often juxtaposes or merges the organic with the geometric. He also puts emphasis on texture to give subjects character. His work within the TCG is similar but subtler, instead using highlights and contrasting colors to make Pokémon stand out. In addition to card illustrations, Saito provided the packaging art for the {{TCG|Garchomp Half Deck|Garchomp}} and {{TCG|Hydreigon Half Deck}}s, and the box art for {{TCG|Everyone's Exciting Battle}}. He also illustrated the [[Pokémon Tales]] book ''Crustle's Moving'', available to read on the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website. | Saito's style is vibrant and surreal, and often juxtaposes or merges the organic with the geometric.
