The left’s idea is that everyone acts like they’re in a minstrel show. All black people are buckwheat and all mexicans are the Frito Bandito. If they act otherwise it’s gentrification and cultural genocide.

Samuel Barnes
I've only seen maybe one or two really good fan redesigns of video game characters in my life. I wish I saved the Bowser design I saw a few years back.

Jonathan Bennett
Masuda is a hack. He's a music dude that got promoted to director, he's never designed a single pokemon. he knows nothing.
Oliver Ortiz
these are pretty trash
most reboot/redesigns are just different for the sake of being different instead of fixing what didn't work
like Wartortle
>it's a turtle

Did people not pick up on the fact that this was the point of these redesigns? It's fairly obviously a commentary on the designs of the newer Pokémon.
Blake Rodriguez
Literally Soul vs. Souless
Gavin Russell
niggaroth would be a good fit for a nmh assassin
Robert Thomas
Unironically much better
Lincoln Evans
Better cute girl + monster bodysuit design than Riot had with Kai'sa.
Blake Sullivan
That Fearow makes me think the artist is a bit afraid to draw anything too big. Maybe they just aren't using a big enough canvas, I guess.
Ian Bennett
Even worse than OP's
John Butler

Why us this so unorganized? The starters at the bottom, Blastoise not even appearing in the first pic, no Pidgeot, this whole thing is just a mess.

Dylan Harris
>Adam Jensen and Balthios
people can reee over race swaps but these are pretty good
changing stupid anime hair to dreads is great
Cameron Lee
>Nidoquen
What did he mean by this?
Cameron Thompson
Probably cause the artist is actually pretty good instead of your regular dime a dozen tumblr artist and tried in keeping the spirit of the original design despite making changes to it.
Jason Parker
don't post it nigga
Nathaniel Sullivan
THIS!
Ian Ortiz
Chikorita's kind of an improvement in that at least something's going on, but it was foolhardy to even try and compete with Cyndaquil or Totodile. Those two are nearly perfect starter designs before they evolve.
Zachary Smith
No-one would have any issue with this whatsoever if it was just some "here's what Gen 1 pokemon would look like in Gen 7!" or whatever
but the fact that it's a "reboot" immediately makes these pretentious as hell
Joseph Richardson
The tiger is fine. Polar bear is ehh and penguin is ugly.
Andrew Garcia
If the point was that new Pokemon designs are worse than it's a failure at that since a lot of them are legitimately great in their own right.
Isaiah Gray
sugimori, the designer for venusaur, claims they are based on frogs here can you not read?
and yes, gen 1 localizers didn't care.

Camden Brown
TO FUCKING THIS?!?!?
Kevin Richardson
Adding details where they aren't needed and taking away details where they are.
Take that Yoshi and that Donkey Kong. They sure do look more like a dinosaur and a gorilla. But that doesn't make them less memorable and endearing rather than more. The thought process behind these designs is to sorta reverse engineer a character by looking at the real life thing he's based on and then twisting it into looking more like the character it's supposed to be. That's an ass backwards approach to character design.
The actual Mario characters mostly came about by taking simple designs that work in an 8 bit or 16 bit game and then adapting them to evolving graphics. The art style we have now emerged from that approach. What that artist did was to discard that evolution and start from scratch and the result is both overly complicated and not memorable.
Carter Brown
He's pretty smug when he's not in imminent danger.
Charles Russell
Zorua looks weird, but that Pikipek looks great.

Thomas Fisher
even when their gen 1-iffied I still don't like them. though that grookey is hitting the right spots a bit

Probably because it's basically Sora with a different ethnicity with some new details, instead of changing his entire body and putting him in re-imagined street clothes.

3 was okay, still had that gen 1 and 2 feeling early on
gen 4 designs had oversaturated palettes as well as an overuse of stripes and shapes on the designs
gen 5 started the chibi design trend but it wasn't untill gen 6 where it was at full force
Isaac Roberts
>Literally nothing but frames where he's doing comedic, super-deformed expression

Liam Diaz
The Sun/Moon ones in that picture are a little out of control but they're meant to be some kind of artist shorthand to imply youth. You take them away and it instantly ages Ash's face by a good 5 years.
Logan Peterson
Cute!!
Noah Smith
Eh it could be good for a spin-off RPG or phone game or some shit.
Aaron Diaz
Pretty much. The technical limitations of early video games probably contributed a lot to what we now consider iconic. Not only in visuals, also in music. Back then they were forced to come up with stuff that's both simple and distinctive.
Jayden Reyes
Adrian Long
They all look like shit end yourself famaland
Ryder Cruz
You can't redesign something that's already been distilled down to near perfection. Other than general expressions, the biggest change to the Mario characters in basically 30 years has been Peach/Daisy's dress getting a redesign somewhere back in the early 2000s
Nicholas Clark
>That Rouge
Levi Cox
The artists just do this for fun though
Aiden Collins

Nolan Harris
I think Superstar Saga's designs are the closest thing Mario will ever get to a redesign, and even then it's just kind of little tweaks that fool with their designs to give a slightly deeper sense of the characters.
Adam Evans
I would suspect some are trying to build a portfolio but to me it just suggests they don't get what makes the designs "work" in the first place

Isaiah Bennett
Why did so many posts in this thread get annihilated for no reason?
Andrew Nelson
I deleted them
Kevin Turner
I kinda understand the Charizard at least. He looks more like a flying type now than he used to. It really feels like the redesigns are putting more emphasis on the original typing and making them look more like what they're supposed to represent, especially with the nidoking line (even if I hate it).
But the Clefairy/Clefable redesigns are absolutely atrocious.
Ayden Gutierrez

Lucas Evans
>stop cherrypicking
you mean, what you did?
90% of first gen mons are just as simple as anything else that came afterwards
Wyatt Carter
The scariest things is that a lot of stuff like this actually goes across desks for approval as an actual option when series are rebooted or redesigned. I feel like we're saved often, but then you get things like Donte and Sonic Boom. It slips through.
Dylan Peterson

I'm not the same dude
It's not necessarily the fact that all pokemon are "realistic" in gen 1, but rather that there significantly fewer pokemon in newer games that have realistic features
Like, I would be really surprised to see this much detail in a pokemon's limbs in a new game.
Also, there's no "realistic" depiction of a fairy

"you're wrong, but also if you were right it wouldn't matter"
That's less detail than what I posted, but it's pretty good.
Also I'm not positively biased towards the overly detailed designs, Pidgey's feet look gross to me
But if you try to argue that Pokemon's art style hasn't become a lot more simple, you'd have to be blind. The newest starters are the biggest example of that.

Lefty here
No, why would I think that, that's ridiculous.
Anthony Howard
It's not calarts you fucking idiot he's redesigning gen 1 to look like the modern pokemon games
Aiden Sanders
I prefer this one if we're going with human Kirby.
Oliver Price
exactly,pokemon had soul and came first
while dragon quest is soulless and came years after pokemon is released.
Tyler Rodriguez
Why does Sticks (official version too) look absolutely nothing like a badger?
I know Sonic is blue, but I feel like a badger that isn't black and white is like a bee that isn't yellow and black.

There have been good and bad pokemon designs in every generation. It's also subjective to a degree so no one is ever going to fully agree which ones are good or bad.
What a dumb and pointless discussion. What we can all agree on though is how poke-girl designs have gotten nothing but better with time.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BOY!?
Colton Morgan

William Carter
That's not what sableye looks like
Jackson Roberts
That's so fucking hideous Jesus Christ, and then you'll complain about new pokemon looking like toys.
Brandon Diaz
That Clefable is kino
Brayden Bell
Venusaur and Weedle are the only good ones
Ethan Gomez
Why do all these redesigns add so many unnecessary details?
Jose Parker
I would play this Majora's Mask 2
Alexander Williams
Penta penguin =/= the penguin that jumps on dingodile in 3
David Brown
No, Sally was loosely based on "Ricky" one of the tiny animals that Sonic rescued in the first game (the same way the characters in Fleetway and a few in Archie were).
The only connection to CD that Sally has is that one manual that tried to pass Amy off as her.
Daniel Phillips
this 1000x
Owen Myers
>Sonic Boom
>Not the Sonic movie redesign that even Sonic's creators were horrified by.
Dominic Carter
nothing on those pictures are kino, maumesart
James Williams
>asgore, gay
>literally married to toriel at one point
Gee I fucking wonder
Nathaniel Edwards
The penguin on the right looks right about to mug you
Jordan Ward
Probably because artists think "more complex = better" when the opposite is usually true?
Dylan Anderson
user please stop, I do not in any circumstances want to masturbate to a Sonic character and you are being disturbingly tempting
Noah Smith
they've toned down the details because the fanbase screeched "DIGIMON!!! OVERDESIGNED!!!" at any non-kanto pokemon that had details.
Jason Parker
>what I meant to say is that there are shit designs now and there were shit designs then
ftfy*
and now we can agree
Jose Ward
>SABLEYE

Asgore is a female that identifies as a man and is attracted to males.
Toriel is a male that identifies as a woman and is attracted to masculinity (I'm as confused as you are)
Aaron Bell
tyrantrum was for you, and also, no, it's definitely not less details
only reason hitmonchan got these 'details' you call out is because it's basically a human with a monster's head and sugimori just slapped a line to define a armpit and a second line to define the knee

Holy shit that torkoal is high as a kite

>Bowser Jr.'s design took a while to get down, and featured a lot of experimenting. I wanted him to appear larger than before, but in an awkward stage. To counterbalance his "baby" fat, I gave him rough features, like a scar going down his mouth, a bandaged arm, and using black/dark blue to keep him from looking young/cutesy with softer greens and yellows. I gave him a shoulder pad representing his heritage that also helps identify his regality...He is the Prince of the great King Koopa, and wearing armor of his father's army is almost ironic. Having given his old bandana/bib (he quickly grew out of it, literally) to his new apprentice Nabbit (made sense to make Nabbit the apprentice since they share the bib design as seen in their official renditions), Bowser Jr. adopted a new one for the sake of protecting himself from the poisonous goop that drips from his paintbrush when used.
>I gave him more hair than he had before, combining his old "Akuma" styled ponty tail with his dad's slicked hair. Combining the two gives him a youthful appearance. I changed up the style of the brush as well, turning it less "Play Skool" into something more industrialized. Now that Bowser Jr. is one of the good guys, E.Gadd has no problem upgrading the old brush that Bowsey had stolen, so long as he would do twice as much good for the people to make up for the havoc he's caused over the years.

The push toward more rounded, less detailed, more 'cutesy' shapes has been a symptom of anime in general since the 2000's, not just pokemon designs. Gamefreak is simply trying to appeal to whatever kid's tastes are these days.
I do think the more recent stuff looks SOULESS compared to old animu (not that there wasn't shit art in the 80's and 90's, don't get me wrong), but maybe that's just me getting old and jaded.
Jonathan Morris
They unironically look better.
Carson Hernandez
why is everyone transgender or no gender? real people exist.
Thomas Hill
Wut
Landon Perez
I haven't the words or the reaction pics to adequately express my disdain for this shit. I think I'll just go to sleep now.
David Nelson
It is the latter.
80s and 90s by far had way worse production values and plot standards, hell Gundam was seen as pretentious and fucking stupid at first.
Asher Martin
Nicholas Nelson
...I could get behind this.
Brayden Lopez
This is why Tumblr is shitting itself.
