[BlueSteel]

Wow, these are amazing.

And the Ditto one... creepy but awesome.

[survivor]

I wish they picked a better gen but oh well. Some of the drawings are pretty neat.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

These are incredible. Thnx OP.

:D

[IdreamofHIME]

WTF? at farfetchd :(

[entrement]

you guys can keep your stupid nostalgias.

It's really the only group where most gamers can say they've recognized due to the shared point of reference. I last played Gen 2 and I barely recognize those.

[Why would you do that?]

I love the diversity of art styles all in one place.

[exYle]

Other artists also drew prints of some of the anime characters:

[mavs]

Awesome.

I'm not quite sure what's going on with Scyther but I like it.

[panama chief]

Some of these are beautiful.

[Vire]

The use of color in this one is particularly fantastic. Love it.

[Cramoss]

All of these are really really cool. Love this shit.

Also, the golem image is my favorite.

..........is Misty eating her Togepi?

[The Technomancer]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[supahkiwi]

Omg

That made my fucking day

[ShockingAlberto]

"This Pokemon has been redrawn to be 'realistic' and creepy!" has become so old and boring to me now.

[The Broken Ska Record]

These are AMAZING. So tempted to make a new avatar.

[Persona7]

I love this one.

[Watch Da Birdie]

It's really the only group where most gamers can say they've recognized due to the shared point of reference. I last played Gen 2 and I barely recognize those.

I agree. This is for charity too, I think, and likely aimed at the common public. I completely understand why they'd focus on the Pokemon most likely to be known by non-fans, and don't fault them for only using the original 151. Hell, even then there's probably a few of the original 151 that a lot of non-fans don't quite remember like Tangela and Exeggutor.

And I'm a fan who enjoys a lot of the later Pokemon as well, but there exists tons of fan-art for them too, so there's really no need for a Gen War here or thinking this is done out of the "only 151 canon discontinuity" mindset.

[Green Slime]

Togepi?!?!? NOOOOO!!!!!

[Sneaky Gato]

That Togepi drawing becomes even more creepy when you remember that Togepi looked up to Misty like a mother.

While not the direct topic at hand in this thread, I fucking love this one.

[Jintor]

"This Pokemon has been redrawn to be 'realistic' and creepy!" has become so old and boring to me now.

So you enjoyed the other images right?

I love recontextualisation. One of my favourite things.

[AdventureRacing]

The more disturbing thing for me was that togepi was from gen II, what is it even doing here?

[Franklinator]

Pidgeot, Electabuzz, and Lapras are my favorite of these I think.

[Complistic]

I'm not seeing Mew.

[MuseManMike]

Absolutely jaw-dropping some of these.

[Maedhros]

Not sure if serious...

[Franklinator]

I'm not seeing Mew.

Here ya go

[HiddenWings]

"This Pokemon has been redrawn to be 'realistic' and creepy!" has become so old and boring to me now.

This right here is why ditto caught me off guard. The standard approach (see: Fearow, Tentacool, Mewtwo) is kind of boring now.

That said, some of these are still quite awesome.

[AdventureRacing]

Not sure if serious...

I just realised those are from a seperate thing, all is good in the world!

[Verelios]

Can someone make me an avatar of charmeleon or Gengar? Damn, they're awesome.

[ShockingAlberto]

So you enjoyed the other images right? I love recontextualisation. One of my favourite things.

Oh yeah, the others are fine.

But, like, Victreebell was sort of the moment where I realized that the "What if Pokemon were real-life monsters?!" has been done to death and I don't care anymore.

I like the jokey and whimsical variations more, honestly.

[Franklinator]

Magnemite/Magneton are awesome, also.

Oh yeah, the others are fine. But, like, Victreebell was sort of the moment where I realized that the "What if Pokemon were real-life monsters?!" has been done to death and I don't care anymore. I like the jokey and whimsical variations more, honestly.

Agreed, the realistic drawings are pretty lame to me.

[NFreak]

Holy shit these are fantastic. I think it's time for an avatar change.

[Skiptastic]

Holy shit I love this one. I'd almost consider making it my avatar...and that is saying quite a lot.

[VGChampion]

That Team Rocket one is phenomenal. If it wasn't $65 I would be all over it.

[Magnus]

I saw the Farfetch'd one independent of its tag/name, and it took a few seconds to understand what I was looking at. Only once I dwelled on the leek stalks... ;(

[Jintor]

Fair enough. With 151 artists, there's something for everyone here.

[Tobe]

some of these are pretty good. snorlax & electabuzz <3

[HiddenWings]

I think I'm going to borrow this for a bit...

[exYle]

I was thinking that myself.

What is this one supposed to be?

[Netrunner2k2]

Some of those are pretty neat, but I think a lot of them are butt-ugly messes.

[ciaossu]

Oh now this is just awesome.

I love this psychedelic Gloom one:

[exYle]

What is this one supposed to be?

Voltorb. That's the "shadow" caused by a large explosion, as well as a piece of shrapnel from the red part of Voltorb's shell.

[ZeroRay]

Slowbro is such a bro.

[RobotHaus]

Can someone make me an avatar of charmeleon or Gengar? Damn, they're awesome.

Sorry, only used Paint

[braves01]

These are awesome! I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite.

[John]

holy fuck

HOLY FUCK

[BatDan]

Absolutely adorable. Then again I was always a fan of Weedle as a kid.
