I sorta like the take on Onix as a sort of landworm grub version of those terrifying deep sea worms.

Wasn't Haunter meant to be a deceased human or is that another ghost type?

Why are so many adults drawing art for a game aimed at seven year olds? Or is this like the brony thing, and I just don't "get" it

I think that might been Yamask but there might also be more than one dead human ghost poke

That makes sense, I was already in my late teens when Pokemon hit, so I never played it.

This and Pokemon are in the same social strata as something like Snoopy/Peanuts, Garfield, or the Simpsons.

They've been around for so long and so many people have experienced them that they have this cultural momentum that carries them through a ton of otherwise non-related subjects.

Look at things like "Bart-Kira", Lasagna Cat, and that weird Charlie Brown Comic done in the style of Sin City.

I don't think these are good comparisons for different reasons. Bart-Kira isn't really about making The Simpsons "dark", Lasagna Cat is sort of like that superficially but has it's own thing going regardless, and Weapon Brown is just straight up parody.

Better example would be Power/Rangers, which is just dumb as poo poo.

Oh, I was just talking in regards to the "Why are adults making art of a kids show" point, not the "edgy evil dark" thing the artist was going for.

Though now that I think for a second I did inadvertently choose 3 dark/gritty fan projects for my examples...

I'm just saying that as a cultural touchstone Pokemon, just like Peanuts or The Simpsons, ends up getting re-imagined and mixed with subjects and mediums that it would otherwise have no connection too.

I genuinely like this a lot if no one takes it to extreme ideological territory. I've seen other people say 'I just think the art is ugly", but eh, it's stylized. On the other hand, I hate Tumblr nose and I can't say it's pulled off any better than usual here.

I think it's cool to let women look ugly without it being played for comic effect. Also they all have snake eyes and can apparently unhinge their jaws like snakes, and that's cool too.

I mean, back when Homestuck was the hottest poo poo ever since the sliced bread you'd find gorgeous fanart about it on the regular. But nowadays, most of those artists have either moved to patreon or changed their artstyle into whatever is trending at tumblr right now.

I love/hate artists who draw fan art of characters that looks absolutely 100% nothing like the character and you only know it's them because of a particular accessory or distinctive facial feature. Like without context I can only tell the trolls are trolls because of the horns. The Kill La Kill one is completely unidentifiable.

It's from one of those people who draws ugly on purpose for some political/ideological reason.

Oh it does? I never check the twitter profiles. I just copy the tweets as they show up on my feed. And since the forum embeds them I never thought it would be an issue.
