i love the sun and moon anime but pikachu the character was at his peak in the first season when he was just a bastard. just an absolute bastard of a rat. ash and pikachu’s turbulant relationship? pikachu just electrocuting everyone? it was peak. i think about ash wearing rubber gloves to handle pikachu all the time. look at this
You say first season but wasn’t this just like the first episode or maybe two
yeah it was up until they got beat by the spearows
Kinda thinking of that post that’s saying the Pokemon in Detective Pikachu are good because they’re “cartoony” when in reality they’re pretty realistic, but keep a good balance between their cartoonishness without the creepy hyperrealistic renderings we’re used to seeing out of edgelord artists. Ironically, the people who did this movie took a lot of cues from an artist on Deviantart who did hyperrealistic-looking Pokemon.
I dunno, these look pretty realistic to me. The key is they render the cartoony elements (like Majikarp’s eyes and the shape of his fins) pretty accurately so it doesn’t just look like a rat hauling a weird fish, you can tell that’s a Pikachu and a Majikarp.
They also did a good job keeping most of the cute Pokemon looking fairly cute,
What I like about these designs is that they’ve got a good balance of traits that make them instantly recognizable enough that any Pokemon fan can name them at a glance, but given just enough nuance and realistic elements that presumably wouldn’t render very well in a cartoon. (For example, the little hairs on the inner part of Jigglypuff’s ears, Pikachu’s fluffy fur, and Charizard’s rough, dinosaur-like scales).
You can tell the people behind the design choices are really passionate about Pokemon and wanted to create characters you could easily suspend your disbelief to accept and also fully enjoy with the original ‘flavor’ of Pokemon as a long-time fan.
And anyway I just wanted to talk about how cool that all was.
In more cases than not, Iām am thinking of boys in heavily romantic ways
Okay this is a good post and all but the first thing i read was your URL and i couldnt stop thinking of a vampire trying to sell people herbalife, I was thinking of multi level marketing until i read the post.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
