Game Freak hired the guy making these videos?

>>58152752 (OP)
God I wish

as long as people continue to buy their bullshit gamefreak will get away with it. they have no reason to change things up or improve

>>58152769
Pokemon is at its peak right now, my dude.

looks like complete shit

>>58152783
yes that's what he said good job

>>58152752 (OP)
This is just nostalgiawankslop. You can imagine him making it while his eyes get damp from thinking about how he played pokemon as a child and is yearning to relive his stupid little childhood romance with the game.

It's gay!

>>58152974
>It's gay!
not as gay as the modern style. overdesigned trash thats ugly

>>58152983
Pokemon Legends ZA looks a million times better than this guys personal art project.

>>58153013
The shit-flecked underside of my scrotum looks better than ZA

>>58153013
pokemon za looks like a chinese students mobile knock off game pushed out by a few college students made in their spare time

>>58152752 (OP)
My favourite model of Red

>>58153029
>>58153032
It looks comfy and polished.

Just concede pokebros. Let's all unite in pokeslop.

>>58153049
yes we all saw the demo it looks like garbage. ive played games on the psp who looked better

>>58153061
The graphics looks nice and comfy and clean. There's a beautiful simplicity to it all.

>>58153071
>The graphics looks nice and comfy and clean. There's a beautiful simplicity to it all.

maybe in 2005 but not 2025

>>58153081
It looks like delicious slop and plop mmmmmmmmmmm with a corporate crunch!

>>58152752 (OP)
best i can do is sue his ass

>>58153049
I haven't bought a pokemon game in ages, maybe I'll give this one a chance.

>>58152752 (OP)
sugimoris art REALLY does not work in 3d

>>58152752 (OP)
Oh my Science. Is that... K-KANTOOOOOOOO

>>58152783
Aren't the buildings in the upcoming one practically flat with texture thrown on them?

>>58152783
Sun and Moon was the peak, now it's all downhill.

>>58153203
the video proves you wrong

>>58152752 (OP)

Imagine this style world with 2D battles using sprites

>>58154721
I'm imagining that would be extremely jarring to suddenly go to sprites in battle after walking around a 3d world where everything's 3d. That would make it feel like the battles are digital or something and seems like it might work for digimon. they should just go full 2d.

>>58152752 (OP)
>Gen Poo berries in my Kanto
Gross

>>58154721
>>58154744
I would love a fully 3D game stylized as 2D

>>58153329
I think pokemon is trying to stray away from the games and is setting itself up for VR or Augmented Reality games

>>58154772

Wait I need this

>>58152752 (OP)
looks like something AI would generate a year or two from now

>>58154772
ok this would work

>>58152794
You look like shit. Also, get your eyes checked.

>>58154806
That's what im sayin

>>58156185
can't wait for it to come out

>>58152783
of mediocrity...

>>58155584
I got them checked and they eye doctor also called that shit and we went to mcdonalds and then to his place to play Battlefield

>>58152752 (OP)
SOVL

>>58154721
No.

>>58158344
This is more effort than Game Freak ever put into their own models.

>>58158344
actual kino

Are we just posting these now? There's a handful of them floating around and they're all both impressive works of art and actual evidence that the Gen 1 sprite style (not necessarily Sugimori's watercolor style) looks great in 3D.

>>58152752 (OP)
the white watercolor highlights combined with every blade of grass having a black outline just makes it hard on the eyes.

>>58154772
>>58158344
>>58159908
>>58159909
>>58159910
Saved. I've seen these floating around for a long time now but no idea where they came from or where to find all of them.

>>58159929
Gotta catch 'em all!

>>58154772
>>58158344
>>58159908
>>58159909
>>58159910
Pity they use the blue sprites not the red and green ones

>>58159910
are these 3d models or really good inbetweening?

>>58159947
it's definitely voxels so they remade the sprites in some program with voxels, basically like building something in minecraft.

>>58154772
Also here's this one but for humans rather than ants.

>>58152783
pokemon peak was ORAS
you can't deny this

>>58159981
>pokemon peak was ORAS
lmao

>>58159963
They don't look like voxels to me, the models are too smooth and there's too much color splitting and jittering. I suspect ai, though that's not a bad thing in this case if it produces something as neat as this.

>>58160010
I saw some of these before AI was even a thing in the way it is now

>>58159929
here's the source

>>58152752 (OP)
this is cool but holy fuck if I had to play any game locked to this camera angle I'd want to kill myself.

>>58160036
Holy based, thanks

>>58160036
So it really was one person doing all of these. I was thinking some of the other ones might have been done by other people who got inspired but I guess no one else tried doing this. I do wonder what exactly they did to make these.

>>58153049
>Everytime absol does a big attack attack he just retreat the mon and avoid all damage
WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE LMAO

>>58160077
That's a huge oversight on their part...

>>58153049
They should have just let you control the pokemon

>>58160017
>>58160036
dang, glad to be proven wrong.

>>58160077
we just need to be able to roll like in dark souls and it'll be gotyey

>>58160077
palworld did it first and it has dark souls rolling

>>58159977
looks 1000 times better than the modern 3D style

>>58152752 (OP)
I would rather they make an RPG with the stadium/snap graphics

>>58152752 (OP)
nah, he got DMCA'd by Nintendo and now collects bugs in prison

>>58152974
The autists hyperfixated on genwun sloppa like this invariably DIDN'T play Gen 1 or get to be part of Pokémania, which is why they churn out endless shit like this.
I'll also add, Game Freak are more arsed with Kanto's pokémon, than Kanto the region (which makes sense again as it was the creatures of Gen 1 that drove the popularity, not the shitty small little landmass with a pollution problem).

>>58160464
It's just cool to see what it might look like if they never changed art direction whatsoever

>>58153046
old school Red blows the lame FRLG Red outta the water.

Can be done with later sprites as well

>>58160036
They've got a bunch of process/shader test stuff on tumblr if you want a better idea of how these are made.

https://cort3d.tumblr.com

Tumblr is kinda shit for organization since it relies on users tagging everything and the search doesn't work well so you'll have to dig for it.

>>58162392
the legend...

One thing people never get about the mythical pokemania is that the games themselves are secondary compare to the social aspect of it.

>>58162392
Holy fucking shit you're actually amazing at art. This feels like when I found Mason Lindroth's gallery where it's a shit ton of extremely high quality art that I really love which is rare for me. It's probably been like 7 years since I've seen an artist with a bunch of stuff that I like this much.

>>58159909
>>58159910
>>58159977
>>58160058
>>58161521

post morr pls

>>58162392
I read through it and I still don't know how you made them 3d. I saw this guide https://cort3d.tumblr.com/post/621938189075136512/tutorial-pixel-style-rendering-in-blender3d but like where does the 3d come from. Do you actually draw every frame lmao

>>58163596
Wait I just found this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/id5oaZ9ZAGQ
What the fuck is this magic

>>58163600
wow, so it isn't actually 3d. that's wild

>>58163164
>Mason Lindroth
OH! He's the guy who made Hylics. I always get him confused with John Clowder (who made Middens).

>>58163976
I still dont get it

>>58163600
oh so it IS AI then

if gamefreak ever were to release a game in this artstyle it would be hailed as one of the best games of all time.

>>58154772
Do you have one of Bellsprout?

>>58165870
didn't see that one on the tumblr or deviantart. maybe that one was made by someone else? I do want all of them though.

>>58167017
wait I read it wrong like
>Do you have THE one of Bellsprout?
hope someone makes it and the rest. I have something else I'm working on or I would try to learn how...
If anyone's interested:
>>58163596
>>58163600
I'm pretty sure this is how they're made

>>58152752 (OP)
>OMG is that hecking RED from KANTOOO doing literally nothing but slowly walking in a straight line?!
This is subtanceless nostalgia baiting slop.

>>58152752 (OP)
if you dislike this webm you are not a real pokémon fan

>>58167033
and yet somehow 99999999X better looking than anything since 2013

>>58167239
>millenials actually believe that

>>58167231
It's not even a webm, lmao.
>>58167256
I certainly don't but you're probably right.

>>58167239
I actually like current day Pokémon and its wealth of inviting guest artists for cool shit.

>>58167268
tomato tomato

>>58167699
>I actually like current day Pokémon
very brave of you to tell us

>>58167239
most people prefer the look of free unity assets and generic textures over style

>>58167808
>>58163491
the shiny ones go hard

If this were a real game, I'd probably buy six copies.

MissingNo as the final boss

>>58153049
>fades to white because they're too lazy to do a capture animation

>>58159981
>the battle frontier project has started!

>>58159981
like shit peaking from an asshole, maybe

I think its possible we might get an original retro-styled game at some point

>>58170280
they couldn't figure out how to do it

>>58171316
Maybe they will add a retro style gimmick for gen 10. Even though Dragon Quest already kinda did it.

>Draw some artwork of pokemon for the manual

>Get really washed out scans as a result
>No time to redo, deadline is near
>30 years later someone makes this video

>>58173357
you have to admit it does look good though. Reminds me of storybooks and art from the late 1800's or so.

>>58167808
was pretty cool to find out from this thread how this gif of peak was made, maybe i’ll do something with that guide eventually

>>58175268
Wow that's way longer than I was expecting!

>>58174716
which guide?

>>58177135
see
>>58163596
>>58163600
read that and watch this video, maybe it's just that program from the video though.

>>58152783
fuck off Joe, go shill somewhere else

>>58153049
Why doesnt it have and background music for cutscenes?? With no voice acting it just feels awkwardly silent the entire time
