Looks really good! I actually liked the designs on the Pokemon, but then I've always liked those "this is what bulbasaur/pikachu/whatever would look like if they were more realistic" redesigns, which seems to be the feel they're going for.

Uh.

Why do western studios insist on “realistic” textures.

because big blocks of solid, unrealistic textures are almost always something that makes CGI look fake.

In motion, these kinds of textures always look better in the end. And let's not mince words here; a fuzzy-less Jigglypuff would look like the hide of a sphinx cat wrapped around a circle. In other words, a giant ballsack with big anime eyes.

Wanna get one, you master of e-cockfighting? Here's what you gotta do (courtesy of FelicityGS):

Tell (or show) us the hot playground rumor your uncle told you about the next main series games. They're coming to the Switch so obviously there's gonna be some Switch-feature related gimmick, if you need a starting point. Any images should have the early elementary school feel to them, including something like "by Nth Doctor, age 32½" as an artist's signature.

NEXT UP
I also have :siren: five courtesy of Kureig, TWELVE :siren: Reshiram / Zekrom codes for folks with any Gen VI game. Here's the gimmick, again from FelicityGS:


I like this. We did haiku before but some silly limerick sounds great. Write some doggerel about something Pokemon related that you enjoyed and win a monochromatic dragon.

Get to it, goons!

When this was announced I wasn't interested at all.

Now? I want a Pokémon cinematic universe. gently caress Detective Pikachu, we need actual Pokémon stories in this style.

I'd say the movie is looking to hit a happy medium between the two audiences. The humor here is accessible to multiple audiences.

the key to something like this is to make the fantasy characters look like they inhabit the same world as the rest of the fictional environment. That's not a matter of nostalgia or playing to a certain audience.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:

Hollywood Inc has discovered that the only thing little girls like more than balloons is pink fluffy stuff, so combining both elements will make Jigglypuff the most marketable creature.

Like half of Wiggytuff's pokedex entries point out how sublime and wonderful its fur is. Given how similar the entire evo line is, it's pretty reasonable to think that they all have fur.

I always assumed Jigglypuff had like, really really short fur/hair. The thought of it just being a sentient hairless balloon is actually pretty horrifying

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
Yeah, after the initial shock value wore off, I think this is one of the better directions they could have taken the Pokemon from a looks standpoint. Stick too closely to the original style, and they'll stand out badly since the movie is taking place in a real world setting.

It's just the right level of camp and cheese, and played completely straight. The movie knows it's dumb and just owns the hell out of it. Going to see it for sure!
