[Pokémon] The pixel art in gold and silver doesn’t make Ho-Oh look legendary, does it?

Ah! A wild Ho-Oh has appeared!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx122

No?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx117

It’s extremely classy, isn’t it…?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

If the gold and silver Ho-Oh doesn’t have a legendary feel, then which one would look legendary instead…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>3

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

The pixel art of gold, not to mention silver, is of the highest class.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks like grilled chicken skewers.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Doesn’t it feel different ever since it became 3D?

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>7

The round shape of the belly is emphasized, making it look delicious when eaten.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

I couldn’t stand how Lugia and Ho-Oh were standing upright on the ground during the time of Poké Stadium and Battle Revolution.

Since XY, flying Pokémon hanging in the air have been criticized, but I really think it’s great that these guys can actually fly now.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx41

What kind of yakitori do you usually eat?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx38

Rather, it’s a craft of some sort that, despite being only four colors, has a somehow rainbow-like quality.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the package delivery is somehow cool.

If this were to appear by the roadside, it would be legendary enough to be a scam like Absol.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It may not be rainbow-colored, but it also doesn’t seem to be just four colors; it’s the art of craftsmanship.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Oni Drill is one example, but when the pixel art occupies a large portion of the frame, it looks strong.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>12

Civil Don…

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

I want to say something about retro-style pixel art games, but when all the characters are crammed into the space, it makes the strong-looking characters look faint and somewhat off.

Someone with a fear of blank spaces isn’t suited for that kind of thing.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

The impression of this neck-shortened radial pose is so strong that when I look at illustrations from the side, I think it looks slim…

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

This visual looks clearly exceptional.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Legends, in particular, have a stronger atmosphere with a single illustration.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems to have a blast effect.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think it really gives off a divine presence.

Is there a dot art general Pokémon that has a legendary feel instead of this?

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Windy

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A slightly luxurious Oni Drill.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that the packaging artwork might feel a bit less legendary.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

It’s bad that my partner, who also did the movie’s promotional poster, is such a mysterious creature.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>23

The image in the thread appears in episode 1 of the anime, so it should be fine.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gold and silver can only use two colors per piece, aside from black and white.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Recently, the Ho-Oh is lacking this big tail.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

The dots in the thread image have large wings, tail feathers, and face, which makes them look impressive and cool, right?

3D can’t do this kind of thing.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Compared to recent legends, the design is straightforward, or rather it’s just a flashy patterned bird! I can understand why people feel that way.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know about the sense of legend, but it’s about three times the size I expected.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

When I first saw Airamudo and Donphan, I thought they were cool.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

A single picture of wings spread wide always looks cool no matter when I see it.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Well then, should we spread all the bird’s wings and keep them in the air…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

If it’s a Native, I’ll forgive it…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

My favorite second-generation pixel art characters are Freezer (Gold), Sawamurā (Gold), and Haganeil (Gold, Crystal).

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

I don’t understand what the handwritten expression is trying to convey.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not really related, but I thought Archeops’ pixel art was cool.

The 3D model feels a bit different…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

I seriously thought that a big tail was growing out of the face, and I thought that was cool.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Lugia thinner? I mean, I like it though.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

Lugia has an impressive appearance in the package art, but the pixel art looks lame.

The back view is also no good.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wondered if it was hand-drawn, but it seems different in some way…

What the hell is this?

I wondered if it was hand-drawn, but it seems different in some way... What the hell is this?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

Isn’t it Arceus?

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I like the silver sitting Naitō.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

The silver Mantine has an air of dignity.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

LEGEND

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the pixel art of Muuma.

I really like the pixel art of Muuma.

Pokémon Jade

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

It’s funny how Pidgeot looks like an Iwato-biyori penguin with its decorative feathers standing upright.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

When you look at them alternately, it seems like Dugtrio is having a meeting, and it’s cute.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

When comparing gold and silver alternately, it seems that the basic movement is like two frames.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The golden Lugia is cooler than the silver Lugia, isn’t it?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

The three dogs were standing out too much in some parts.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

The head of the Raikou looked like a seaweed roll, and it was shocking…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Ordile, which is bipedal but also has a crocodile-like quality.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt it was incredibly vivid despite the limited colors of the GB.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Doesn’t it look like Arceus…?

Doesn't it look like Arceus…?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Sorry, it got mixed up.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Ordile’s dead dot is cool.

Ordile's dead dot is cool.

Orderil, the big jaw Pokémon. Height: 2.3m, Weight: 88.8kg, No.160. It struggles to support its body on land, so it moves on all fours, but can move very quickly.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

That’s definitely a crocodile.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

In the first place, it’s supposed to be about gold and silver, so why is it Arceus…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

I wonder if it got mixed up with HGSS…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember feeling like it had a sense of legend, but I wish it had been Lugia…

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I’ve seen someone confuse Arceus and Oddish for the first time.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to the dot of the gold and silver Ho-Oh, the dot of the mini icon Ho-Oh’s tail looks like its beak and body.

I’ve always wondered why Ho-Oh’s icon is a dragonfly…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt something off about the Fire dot, and then I realized that unlike now, the entire wings were engulfed in flames.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I think Steelix has a legendary aura with its gold and silver dot design.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I generally like the poses that the silver one is doing.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still can’t accept that the Barracuda evolves into Octillery.

Saying that a gun → a tank is like saying fish → octopus is a bit of a stretch, isn’t it?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

Since Pokémon can evolve from shells to fish, it’s not a big deal.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

Somehow, the sheep can turn into a dragon that doesn’t make much sense, it’s just a margin of error.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, there were fewer people and money in Pokemon compared to now, yet people who loved Pokemon were changing the dots with Gold and Silver.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m still curious about what the area around the mouth of the silver and gold Suicune looks like.

Is it even a mouth to begin with?

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Silver has a lot of strange poses…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

The front picture is too perfect no matter how many times I see it…

The back view of Ho-Oh when you’re using it yourself is way too bird-like.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Whoa, is there a different-colored version of me!?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

The golden Rhydon is cute.

“It seems like they’re saying ‘Hurry up!'”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s amazing how it looks really colorful even though it only has three colors.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I can understand that Ho-Oh doesn’t have much of a legendary feel, regardless of gold and silver.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t accept insects that completely metamorphose in reality either.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The later released Crystal aside, did Gold and Silver have different dots at the same time of release?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

A slightly luxurious fire.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s just funny that Groudon and Kyogre come out from here, but the design definitely reflects that they are legendary Pokémon.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

I agree with the unfinished designs of Tetsuozu and Oktan.

I agree with the unfinished designs of Tetsuozu and Oktan.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>84

I understand that the underlying elements are the same, but can’t you agree that the evolution doesn’t make sense!?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

The pattern of the barracuda is a remnant of a cylinder, huh…

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>84

Real weapons were probably banned, but they’re designed too well…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lugia doesn’t really have a legendary feel either; it looks like a dragonized Mewtwo.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

The legendary feel increases in media that showcase size.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the time of the three dogs, there is absolutely no difference… not even a slight movement.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it appears in the first episode of the anime, it gives an impression of being an undeserving symbol of that world.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I heard the idea that in terms of evolution, Mothim and Butterfree should actually be reversed, I can only see it that way now.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

In the analysis page that concludes there is no theory of data misalignment from the perspective of the typical development process and the order of implementation seen from other arrangements in the catalog, it mentioned “but too similar” about three times within the text, and that was no good.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

It seems there are no misplacements, but the theory that it was intentionally switched is still there.

Because the time for graphic input is approaching.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>100

For what purpose?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both have a balanced image without excess or deficiency, and I think they are the two that stand out as the number one in design among legends.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mantine is inspired by a bomber, and Carvahall has remnants of a missile.

Gold Version 99 beta version

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>94

The sea of Asagi-Tanba, where tanks, guns, bombers, and luminous weapons are swimming, is way too dangerous.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it because Lugia was originally designed as an anime-exclusive Pokémon that there is a rainbow-colored Ho-Oh, summoned by rainbow-colored wings and transparent bells, which has no gold elements at all?

Well, it’s true that you could say Lugia doesn’t have silver elements.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to items, I thought that Lugia, with its silver wings, was smooth and sleek, but then it turns out it has feathers?

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>98

Penguins might look smooth at first glance, but they actually have feathers, so I think that’s probably the feeling.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking at it again, Nuoh has been quite plump since that time.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it unfair that Suicune gets its own special BGM first with Crystal?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder why Lugia is not a Water/Psychic type.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

It might be related to the specialized technique Aero Blast.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

The implementation of the three types of Water Flying Espers is eagerly awaited.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ho-Oh has a legendary feel like a remarkable person in the neighborhood.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

What are the motifs of Chinchou and Lanturn?

I understand that the concept is based on the anglerfish, but it looks so unlike it that there must be other motifs, right?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

Isn’t Chonchi also inspired by a regular anglerfish?

Regarding the lantern, it’s within the realm of the deformed styles of anglerfish.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Butterfree and Mothim are more like the larval stage of a swallowtail butterfly, and it’s kind of odd that they turned into moths, right? Maybe that’s why they switched.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

Morpheon is modeled after a swallowtail butterfly.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

That butt is a moth, right?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Bozokutan were not connected to Bozuteppouo, it would have been safe.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If you have doubts about Lugia, you might wonder why it isn’t a Water/Flying type.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Isn’t the character illustration of the protagonist in the thread cool? The way the eyes are hidden and cast in shadow gives it a nice feel.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like with anything, but as a series progresses, it becomes more refined and stylish, and I feel it’s a bit sad that the flamboyance disappears.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

The movie poster is too watery.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Ho-Oh in the thread image is beautiful.

Feel the golden ratio.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

On the contrary, because it turned into 3D, it became like, “Aren’t they supposed to be thin!? Is that still legendary?!”

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

When combined with the story of extinct things becoming Pokémon, it’s a world where weapons no longer exist.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kopun and Butterfree are similar, but Caterpie and Metapod don’t really resemble Mothim.
