Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I kiiiinda like the movie's look, but the faces and heads are too old sugimori for the rest of the look (that Ash looks fine in 3/4ths, but you can see with Misty how facing front is a nightmare), no matter how good something looks in the context of being CG, it doesn't look as good as the original movie at all, and the aesthetics are not as good as Detective Pikachu.

Ironically, the new Armored Mewtwo looks more 90s than the original.

Every new thing we see from Detective Pikachu makes me want to see it more. It's gonna be really good. That Torterra is everything.

EDIT: I have the opposite feelings about Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution. The original movie was great and Story of Us was absolutely beautiful, why you gotta disappoint two different groups of fans equally.

I never thought of Sneasel as fuzzy, but I'm glad they did.
I'm glad they did too. So many Pokemon designs for the movie have people saying "I didn't think so and so was so furry." But if you take the style and their desire to have the humans and Pokemon blend together into a seamless world and imagine most of those pokemon as hairless, fleshy beasts they would almost all look horrifying and gross. Jigglypuff especially.

Jigglypuff would look better with peach fuzz. Smooth looking, but very soft. Give the fluffpoof look to Clefairy.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

I always figured Jigglypuff would be rubbery, like a balloon.

That's what most people thought and that's why I bring it up because that would look super gross. A big ol rubbery flesh ball

I like moviepuff but this is a fair take. But I think it might also look like it was just shaved. So I think fluffy is ultimately better.

Torterra was my absolute favorite Pokemon, now it's my double absolute favorite Pokemon.

I can't believe it, but I'm actually excited for this movie. More than anything, the setting of Pokemon is what has consistently appealed to me, and seeing this take on it is pressing all of the right buttons.

They look like the plastic figures my local game store got from Japan. Someone in this thread figured out the toys were called Pokémon Kids, and the Pokémon themselves were hollow little figures you could wear on your finger that came in blind boxes with chalky candy. Lapras, Mewtwo, and the trainers were a larger size without a hole that came with several figures.

EDIT: Torterra looks ridiculously awesome!

I'm still not sold on just how furry the furry Pokémon look in Detective Pikachu

I'm not sure what I really wanted, but Jiggly/Sneasel/Pikachu/Snubbull designs all look slightly too long-haired for me.

Movie still looks amazing, I just always imagined short haired pelts on all of them.

I suppose its kind of hard to depict smooth short hair for a CGI model without looking too "slick". It would probably look too weird among live action humans.

i've really been enjoying pokemon: insurgence after downloading it today. seems like a solid fangame in terms of actual progression and the gimmicks that are introduced are more just neat than annoying. like delta pokemon, which are weird, differently-typed versions of pokemon we already know that look different to match. sprite quality varies a little bit here and there but it's Okay.

The biggest issue with Insurgence is a ton of the best/most interesting Deltas are locked in the really late game or post game for some godforsaken reason?

Also the usual romhack jank.

oh yeah, absolutely. it doesn't escape some of the 'usual' stuff that plagues these things but it's not riddled with poor decisions at the same time. i have no idea what the 'darker' option for the story entails, though, although i doubt it could hold a candle to reborn in the least.

Nah, nothing on Reborn's level. Its mostly just a bunch of edgy cults who worship various Legendaries as gods and some of them do human sacrifices.

Basically its the 'nothing personnel kidd' option to make your Pokemon edgy in that uniquely 13 year old way.

I have to give the movie credit where it's due, they're actually making the pikaclones look appealing to me. A miracle in and of itself honestly.

Mm....I think it depends on the art you've been looking at because those jewel things have shine and shadow on them in most depictions.

the delta pokemon do have some pretty neat designs, like delta aipom who's ghost/normal and has a weird ghost tail


also delta ambipom has an...actually pretty tight design, i feel?


also as a bonus if you have aipom and are using it:
they see you

Setting Plusle and Minun aside since they are indeed lazy Different Pichus, what do you have against the other pika clones? Are they actually bad designs, or do you dislike them just because they are electric and rodents in the same way that Pikachu is? Most of them don't even look like Pikachu.
