[Hero of Legend]

Along with Nintendo's announcement of RBY on 3DS, they gave us another surprise; perfect-quality NA boxes of the games I think never existed until now. These were TIF files that I converted to PNG ones.

Weird thing is that the Yellow box's Nintendo and GB logos are very pixelated and not smooth like the RB boxes, like they were reconstructed.

Have at it Bulbapedia.

They forgot to bring Blastoise to the front while they were making this in Quark. You can see the gray border crossing over his right arm.

Holy shit you're right.

 

[Vashetti]

Beautiful.

 

[kadotsu]

Pifatchu for life!

 

[ash_ag]

High-quality versions of Gen 1 artwork will hopefully follow. Really hard to come by in proper quality, since many of the materials we have comes from scanned guides and manuals.

Ruined.

 

[GustyGardens]

Holy shit you're right.

Do you still have the TIF files? I wonder if they have all their layers intact.

EDIT: (Don't know why I put a hyphen in there.)

 

[Flawwoo]

Damn, that's pretty cool. Very unexpected!

Will this Charizard bias ever cease to appall fans of far greater Pokemon?!

It's nice to see Nintendo knew which was the best version and starter even back then.

You can even see the color mixes and ink blotches of each Pokémon since this were hand drawn. Amazing.

What... An asshole, keep those damn comments to yourself!

 

[NotDreamcast]

I can't get enough of that Gen 1&2 artstyle.

 

[Platy]

This means we might be able to get the japanese ones too .... with Venusaur

Mediafire co-operated!

 

[Zack Zavage]

Thanks for the share.
This reminds me of how great and genuine the artstyle of the first generations still is up to this day.

 

[-shadow-]

This is pretty awesome. I actually hope that both America and Europe will get physical release of these games.

 

[xzeldax3]

Holy crap this is amazing!

 

[KojiKnight]

So all 3 are actually really good reproductions? I'm okay with that.

 

[Sami+]

Oh hey that's actually pretty neato

 

[gabagool]

I live for OG Pokemon artwork.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I wish we were getting physical versions of the re-releases like Japan is.

 

[Shepard]

I miss the old Pokemon art, the style was so good and nostalgic...

 

[gundalf]

Wow you even can see the "traces" of the felt-tip pen!

Woooooooow. That takes me back to 2003. Sure enough they have a 2015 version!

 

[GamingOblivion]

Where exactly did you find this?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

That is awesome! Thanks.

 

[Soltype]

They're never going to top Gen 1, this stuff is too good.

Y'know, there's a dropbox when getting the link that makes you include the decryption key...
