I remember when I expected the transition to 3D for mainline to animate like pokemon stadium. Now I'd unironically rather have GB sprites than the SS models.
Wyatt Brown
fanart, first 2 pokemon in the last panel are old as sin fakemons

As soon as CRT fell out of common use. LCDs do not do a good job handling dot pictures.
Gabriel Walker
iirc, it’s a game actually in development. It’s just kept hush hush to avoid, CnD.
Christopher Hughes
I really didn't understand the point of CRT filters on emulators until I saw that picture of Earthworm Jim with and without. Devs in those days put in a ton of effort to take advantage of that crappy screen and boy does it show.
Aiden Ross
A pokemon game being kept in the dark, probably so they can release it when it is complete and the C&D doesn't matter, since the game will be out there already
Benjamin Turner
>we'll never get another 2D handheld Zelda game again
It hurts.
Tyler Hall
That Royal Paras looks amazing.
Nolan Collins
Try using a CRT instead of filters
Justin Gonzalez
When people started using it as an excuse to be lazy, rather than because of limitations or because it was a stylistic choice.
Jacob Phillips
a good filter like blargg's or whatever other style using integer-scaling replicates the effects just fine, even for retronostalgic faggots like me
Ayden Hall
when indieshit started using it as a selling point.
Noah Bailey
sadly nowadays devs use 3d models for the same reason. 2d games look so much better as sprites most of the time, but devs always do that garbage 3d models in a 2d game thing.
Elijah Hill
Shaders work fine
Gabriel Mitchell
Every time I see this picture the town theme from PMD Explorers pop into my head.
Austin Garcia
They don't

post more user these are really interesting

hello cringe department?

ok

LOL

An untitled fangame. The dev loves to attention whore by pretending to be secretive about it, but also posting screenshots every once in a while for people to make the same post as you.
Carter Torres
Pixel Art back then was the highest form of creation in regards of video game so talented professionals made it while indie devs choose the style because it's less work or they don't have strong art skills. It's not worth taking the time on like they once may have.
Gavin Green
Sure just let me go get two crts in perfect condition so I can have scanlines and non square pixels
Xavier Stewart
>non square pixels
they were never meant to be square
Dylan Hughes
It's hard to tell what's really "intended" with this one, the color of her eyes is completely lost on the right.
Lucas Lee
Oh holy fuck I want this so badly now, it looks infinitly better than what GF is shitting out these days.
Jack Cook
>It's hard to tell what's really "intended" with this one
here's a hint: the primary display method for everything was CRTs during the games development, as such their nuances and means of display were taken into account during dotting
Colton Hall
Left looks better for this one imo.
Asher Reyes
I get that, but it being such a drastic change from blue to a brownish threw me off. Looks like that's how it was meant to be though, looking through official artwork of the character and she always has brown eyes.
Juan Gray
Mason Smith
The artist who made the dot picture intended blue eyes.
Isaiah Jones
aperture grille is better
Brandon Bell
those fakemon are actually the original starters from the G/S beta....
Brayden Reed
Would you really want one after seeing what's become of Link's Awakening user
John Myers
if you're going to spend that much time making assets that look that good, why not make your own IP instead of a fangame? This way you can actually make money for your work and not have to live in the shadow of Nintendo and Game Freak.
Christopher Cox
The colors on these older CRT's are really something else m8
Gavin Miller
>purposefully making your game look like shit
Blake Young
because it's clearly a pure passion project out of love of the pokemon lore & creatures themselves and what gamefreak has squandered shows just how out of touch they've become over the years after the switch from 2D sprites to 3D abominations
Benjamin Ward
technically every zelda on switch is a handheld
Isaac Martinez
That remake is fucking beautiful, but I wish it was a completely new game, even if it has the same structure as the GB/GBC ones, much like ALBW.
Gavin Cook
The exact year was 2016 at the peak of the crowdfunding indie game bubble. Every and their mom was making LE EPIC BASED 2D NOSTALGIA PIXEL SIMULATOR!!!!!
Owen Sanders
if it was there own IP, nobody would give an inch of a shit
the pokemon label sells product. Pokemon games have been the same derivative shit since the gameboy and people still buy new installments that drop features constantly, but it's pokemon so "i-i gotta get it!"
Samuel Sanders
It's not, delta shadowmask is.
Charles Lee
playing silent hill 2 on my current tv is a pain for the eyes because of text like this
Tyler Powell
When it was no longer the optimal choice for making games. Also that image makes me physically ill.
Gavin Hughes
took a stab at fixing it
Easton Rogers
The piss filter works for morning, GSC had the same thing. Yours does look much better, though.
Jackson Jones
these are pretty epic bar the starters, legendary dogs, tyrogue, hitmontop and the baby pokemon. really glad they cut down on them in the release
Evan Hill
Kinda like the golden hour vibe of the original, honestly.
The forest in the top right looks pretty nice with your color edit though.
Luke Campbell
stop asking
Caleb Bailey
Okay, now do that another 400 times every two years and we can work at making games for them. What's that? It's an unreasonable request to ask an artist to make a consistent batch of spritework for 800+ pokemon and environments every game? Why, it's almost as if you're saying that the process should be streamlined to make producing that much content easier.
Alexander Garcia
Or the games shouldn't come out every year.
Oliver Myers
see those asset modelers doing 3D models
tell them to fuck off and replace them all with sprite artists
Elijah Nelson
>Pull off GBA calibur visuals
>Slap a shitty mock GBC filter on it
Do one or the other or it looks shit.
Cooper Fisher
When we stopped using it out of necessity
Luke Adams
>When did pixel art lose its MEANINGLESS BUZZWORD
you tell me, zoomer
Daniel Brooks
I disagree. /vp/ is always talking about pokemon-like games and with sprite-art that good it would get insta popularity.
Andrew Ortiz
Please tell me this a real fan game I can play
Easton Allen
dumb chicken poster
Parker Lopez
what's this style called? voxels? i like it as much as pixels.
problem with pixels is it's too easy for artists to make things unnecessarily over-detailed, which is what I think of OP's pic
Oliver Brooks
Are you implying that he made the tilesets in full color and then slapped a filter on it?
Connor Hughes
The white is too sterile. Try something inbetween.
Wyatt Ortiz
I'm saying he made GBA quality sprites with GBC colors.
Bentley Nelson
i disagree on the LA remake being beautiful but ALBW was great. i wouldnt mind more games like that
i do miss the 3d sprites though. they packed so much into seasons and ages
Jaxson Young
Please realize what you've said here. /vp/ said that.
/vp/ is probably full of people who've been spurned by pokemon for a while, they are so into it they know it's flaws to a T, and want something to take it's place
the average person isn't like that, they just want more pokemon.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice if these talented individuals were to make something with thier own unique ideas, but fact of the matter is it's a lot easier for a fangame to get fame than something original.
Colton Robinson
When you started touching yourself.
Aiden Lewis
the person you replied to is likely implying they believe that was fake, thus calling it fakemons.
Brandon Green
Anyone miss 2D gust games?
Gust went to shit as soon as they switched to 3D. It's a shame.
Samuel Jackson
Ar tonelico 2 had such an interesting combat system, but the game never took a good chance of exploring and exploiting it. A shame
Bosses needed more attack patterns, damage and the parry timing needed to be more strict
Owen Hill
which metal slug is this?
Kevin Price
>Nintendo refuses to port the 2D pokemon games to switch despite knowing that they'd sell millions in the first day
Why? Why do they hate money? Why do they hate SOUL?
Alexander Ortiz
>a good filter like blargg's
based.
William Hall
i still prefer the original. the colors help filter out the blues and thus make it easier on my eyes. i feel like i'm straining my eyes looking at this edit. sure it's crisp and colorful, but too much so.
Dylan Turner
>posted wrong webum with gdapt.
Blargg is based but i'm retard.
Lincoln Thomas
>Nintendo puts Red/Blue Gen 1 on 3DS eShop
>can trade with the current generation
>gets everyone's money
>disables trading between generations with the next pokemon generation
That was a brilliant move.
Charles Davis
Cool, looks like the lost link between GBC and GBA. Technology progressed to fast.
Ian Watson
why doesn't someone just make an crt emulator that simulates the exact output of an old tv?
Oliver Ortiz
they do
Zachary Thompson
ever payed a visit to china or japan user?
Leo Richardson
aren't they all just postprocessing?
Daniel Cox
I can hear that pic
Cooper Price
but Gameboy tho
