Shizue Kaneko (twitter username: QQQnekoQQQ), the character designer for this film, also painted all the artwork for the ending credits! She posted a lot more artwork to her twitter, so if you want to see more of her take on Satoshi and Pikachu, or see more of the movie original characters...
She's worked with Studio Ghibli, worked on Doraemon movies, aaaand worked on a lot of moe titles (which explains Largo (Margo)'s design quite well, as well as the generally cuter face Satoshi has here, although I can also see the Ghibli influence too!! Very versatile, cute and cool.)
She really loved the characters, she kept drawing them for several years after the movie. Aside from Satoshi (and Pikahu!), she draws Torito (Toren) a lot! Risa sometimes too. ^^

The one of ridiculously strong Satoshi carrying the entire cast is my favourite, honestly. Well, among the uncoloured pieces! The coloured pieces are hard to compete with for sheer nostalgia...
