[Pokémon] When Machamp was converted from a sprite to an illustration, its design changed quite a bit, didn’t it?

Official Illustrations Dot (Red/Green)

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

I think there are quite a few of those in the first generation.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx29

Is it just Machamp?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I remember that Raikou had a different design in gold and silver.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

I think it’s a matter of skill.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rhyhorn is at a completely different level compared to other Pokémon.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

It’s easy to tell that the red and green were dotted by a specific person.

Specifically, like Rhydon.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Upon closer inspection, the facial features are completely different.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the same guy as Wigglytuff, isn’t it?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was the dot first!?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is that an official illustration?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

A dotted Golem seems like it would be smooth.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The high level of perfection of the Pteranodon.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

The quality difference in the dots is just incredible with Red and Green.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s common for graphics to be created after the dot placement even before the Famicom, but in the case of Pokémon, it’s discussed openly.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dot character with big eyes and a stocky appearance is generally like that.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Charizard has a mix of one horn and two horns in its original design.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I can’t help but think of that back view of the lizard first.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

For GAIJIN, red and green pixel art does not exist.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

In PokéSpe, Shiba’s Machamp is set up to be saving its power while wearing a belt that it wouldn’t normally wear…

You’re properly wearing a belt even with dots, huh…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sawarumi was complete from the very beginning.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mastering Matadogas is just too good… it’s becoming.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The Pikachu version is from after the anime, so the illustration design has already been finalized.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sand has a strong biological feel of cuteness in red, green, and blue…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like blue Omastar.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The Laplace eyes have changed, and they are really alluring.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Azumaou’s dots are skillful.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When comparing the blue Gyarados, Nidoking, and Lapras with Golbat, Golem, and Azumarill, the difference is so significant that it makes me laugh.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has a Dedede-like quality.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Every time I see it, the early Mew’s quality is too poor.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s easy to understand when you move the Pokémon that are being streamlined.

It's easy to understand when you move the Pokémon that are being streamlined.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

The touch is the same as Red-Green Machamp, but the dynamism of Blue Machamp leaves a strong impression.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The Pikachu version is based on the official art, or rather the character design from the anime, so it’s quite different in direction from Gold and Silver.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s super obvious that the same person is drawing the Charizard line and the Dragonite line.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red-green Mew has quite a fetus motif.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Pika is truly a quality finished version.

Pika is truly a quality finished version.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like blue dot.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Goron is cool, but Golem has a strong sense of disappointment.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer the original dot version of Ghost, which looks like a collection of dust.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many strange things about blue…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Pikachu version, especially the ones like the pudding type or Pikachu type, can be quite surprising when it comes to facing Ratata head-on.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The Kingler with big pincers.

Upside-down doghouse

A Shellder that has turned sideways.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oh, I just realized, Blastoise is a turtle bazooka.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

The shiny version of Arbok is staring at me too much, don’t you think?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Pikachu version has high-quality pixel art overall.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

After all, the game’s Charizard only looks cute to me.

Even though in anime, I was completely focused on being cool.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Pikachu version of Onix looks weak.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The pixels of Pikachu in the first generation are really cute.

Well, it would look like a Pokémon’s face.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The difference in appearance when Pikachu is seen from behind is amazing.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the dynamism of Sawamur.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The overly stylish red-green Kadabra is nostalgic.

I was freaked out when I first saw the crazy thing come out.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Nidoking from the pixel art era is too cool!

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The fire ability in the three birds is really tricky.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Eevee and its evolutions have been cute since the first generation.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gorbatz is often said to be too creepy.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder why they made Windia leave…

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The backward-facing dots looked like bones on the Charizard.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nidoking is too cool.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

The disappointment of seeing Thunder’s back is immense.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The Magikarp seems to be unusually well-made.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red-green pixel art was created by the dot artist freely, and based on that, Mr. Sugimori made concept art for the anime, which led to the creation of the Pikachu version, right?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bone structure of Charizard is amazing.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Marmine has a flat head, making it easy to place it discreetly.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

The level of detail in the pixel art of Ptera from the very beginning is amazing.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Mewtwo was cool from Red and Green, so it’s no surprise it became a movie.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The basics of two-panel comics are truly great.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Windy is originally Dodongo, right?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original Medarot had some pretty rough dots, didn’t it?

In the end, I became the scenario writer after that.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you take a closer look, even the number of fingers is different.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Mewtwo had a cry like Parasect, but it was really cool.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gallop is amazing!

I wanted to convey a sense of dynamism within the constraints.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was with the delay in the release of the gold and silver? It seems like there was a lot of confusion.

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s common to strike weird poses to add movement from red and green.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was information about skateboarding and other things before the release, like gold and silver.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Onidrill is nice too, right?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I was a child, I’ve thought the red and green Dragonite looks really thin.

I think it’s because of the white border.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

The eyes of the Azuma King are scary!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Goes, is it that small…?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Horizontal Palpitoad is also pretty cool.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really like the cute vibe of Charizard from the first generation.

I thought it was a different Pokémon at first because the back looks too different.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt really disappointed when I used the cool Pokémon from the first generation and saw its back view.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

You were crossing your arms like a jellyfish, huh…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

It only looked like a bird with its butt facing the Ebiwalar.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Windy has a strong sense of “Dodongo” when looking at its predecessor, Wing.

I love my current dog, but I can’t forget that picture that was based on something distinct.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

The blue version of the beetle might be incomprehensible if you don’t know the original.

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The characteristic feature is the exaggeratedly large dot eyes.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Onidriiru is best in red and green.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder if there are people who want to see this kind of thing.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are people who make really big-headed dots…

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The dot, which is in charge of the person with bulging eyes, seems to strongly retain the remnants of being a monster resembling a kaiju.

This is really good.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s great how each Sawamurā is striking a cool pose that’s different from the others.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Upon closer inspection, the swirl on Nyoro-bo’s design is too random and just doesn’t work.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even at the red-green point, the level of completion of the dot shows that I was initially inclined to support the Pikachu lineage.

Additionally, the quality of things like Dogars was exceptionally good.

For some reason, among the Nidoran♂ series, Nidorino in the middle just has an unusual sense of dynamism and looks really cool, which I don’t quite understand.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the red and green dugong really skilled?

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The Pikachu version has a solid design, so there are fewer discrepancies and it’s generally pretty nice.

There are quite a few people who like red and green as poses.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

The blue beetle is terrible!

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red and green Onidrill is really cool.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shower is more erotic in red and green.

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Looking at it this way, Eevee doesn’t become perfectly cute until it evolves.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Red and green Mewtwo, the origin and the pinnacle.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

The person who drew Mataragas, Betobeton, and Marumain seems to still be doing main pixel art at a high quality in later years.

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s clear that the various comments are just a reaction from those who feel completed in the original series.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

A surprisingly polished Sawamur in the red and green phase.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

The completion level of the Ghost series in the Pikachu edition is insane.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I really liked how the ghosts in Red and Green looked super cool.

Gengar is too plump.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it unfair that Kentauros is the strongest with this design?

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Pikachu version Jigglypuff.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

No strikes missed.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Pikachu version of the Ghost type feels especially animated.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it was one of the first created, Rhydon’s body shape is completely different.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

Golem’s eyes are too sparkling.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Games created by salarymen who are not even in-house creators, which are unique to the production scale of the past, have a profound flavor when viewed today.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think about it again, the naming sense is amazing.

Club Dugong, Gallop, Ghost, Pigeon, Beetle probably haven’t thought about anything at all.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been thinking for a long time about why Arbo has a duck face.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn't the drop here too steep?

Isn’t the drop here too steep?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red and green Ninetales is nice.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hate the big-headed Dogaas!

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

The early ghost is just a clump of dust.
