I love it. Don't you? I think the only prerequisite is that, it has to be official, and if not, then it has to be good. Let's not ruin it with Misty stroking Gardevoir. Leave that to your filthy minds you scally knaves!
What I'm really after is some quality Sugimori artwork, especially the original art he did for Red/Green/Blue. I can't find that anywhere!
I'll start off with some of my favourites

two blastoises cuz he is just that awesome

Stuff like this looks so weird yet so badarse at the same time. I wish Sugimori hadn't become all cutesy and safe as the franchise became so popular.

edit: This

is better than this

Kyzer · Mar 23, 2011

A long time ago I made the Pokemon Game Appreciation Thread and I have to say. I wholeheartedly agree. Ken Sugimori is unrivaled.

Seriously..
Remember the incomplete pokédex in the manual for Red/Blue? It had a handful of Pokémon artwork.. I want the complete set man!

"weird" is everything that came after that. That's what Pokemon looks like to me.

All we need is that diagram which compares the old pokemon trainer to the new one

Andrefpvs · Mar 23, 2011

Andrex has a pretty neat web album of good fanart, I believe.

Some art is really amazing. The one my avatar comes from:

If someone knows of a better quality version of this one, then please!

Urban Scholar · Mar 23, 2011

Going to sound crazy but...I recall seeing a fan art piece of the gold/silver hero versus red in the cave? The kid's eyes was gold and red is looking down at him. Please someone post this in hi res if you can.

This blog has Pokemon art art that has inspired me to finish designing the Pokemon battle system we've all dreamed of since Red/Blue.

Calcaneus · Mar 23, 2011

Man I really love the coloring in the old school Pokemon art work.

This one?

Don't have too many other images but I always really liked this one:

Theres a 17 pager about this but if the mods are OK maybe this can be the Official one? Or a merger?

No I agree. Theres this weird rough charm to RBY/GSC stuff that got lost in the GBA generation.
I don't think RSE on looks bad at all, but I do prefer the early art.

VGChampion · Mar 24, 2011

Wow, that Charizard in the sky is absolutely amazing. I want to see more of that.

I like the world maps the most. I don't know if it's because it has that "map" look to them or that you can see the actual land marks like bridges and stuff. Every time I see one I want to play the game.

To each his own. I think the early stuff wears it's Toriyama influence on its sleeve - the later stuff is more distinctly its own style. I do like the watercolor look of the early art, though.

Chet Rippo · Mar 24, 2011

Well, better contribute to the thread with my terrible Pokemon art I've done awhile back.

Maybe I should try something more ambitious next.

Gravijah · Mar 24, 2011

you should do raichu riding on the back of a golurk

I still don't get why Red has a Lapras in the remake. :/ Espeon was cooler.

Closer to Ash's team that way.

Yeah, I was kidding

wrong

, according to Bulbapedia they're all Gen I event Pokemon.

Haly · Mar 24, 2011

I had another good one of red but I forgot where I put it. Along the same vein as the last one but with Espeon instead.

So one more Pokemon of his can take advantage of Blizzard getting 100% accurate during Hail. Half his team has Blizzard with the inclusion of Lapras.

No, that wasn't that threads focus and it is old now.

I love pokemon. I love GAF. For my fellow Pokemon homies out there, my collection of stuff I found awesome:

SUPER HIGH RES

I have more I will upload soon.

Anth0ny · Mar 24, 2011

Gotta love the classic Sugimori art.

/vp/ will randomly have retro Sugimori art threads, and let me tell you, they are jam packed with hundreds of amazing art pieces I've never seen before.

ReBurn · Mar 24, 2011

IGN's gonna love this thread. They just won't admit it.

Japan really loves their pokemon (and slashing red/blue, not safe for your childhood)

Dude was really a visionary.

.JayZii · Mar 24, 2011

Pokemon has a quality about it that whether it's depicted as super cutesy, epic or somewhere in between, it never really seems out of line. Good idea for a thread.

Watch Da Birdie · Mar 24, 2011

Don't know if there was ever a bigger pic of this released (it's official art, btw)...

enzo_gt · Mar 24, 2011

Wallpaper edition. Links to full sizes are below the thumbnails.. Some are in weird sizes, im sorry that's the largest I got.

Fuck. I may have to wallpaper that pic of gary with Pidgieot.

Dude was my favorite pokemon of all time

TheOGB · Mar 24, 2011

Click the pics for the full version

These first two are really basic, but I like them.

And then another PLDH wallpaper:

I also "made" a version without the name, and yet another that isn't centered.

soultron · Mar 24, 2011

A Pokemon game with Monster Hunter-esque designs (like the fan art posted) would be so awesome.

Boo.

They colored in Cilan's sclera...my favorite thing about his design is the lack of them.

Qwomo · Mar 24, 2011

Without a doubt Sugimori's best art:

Woah, some of these are fucking amazing!
