The original Black and White

>>58411389 (OP)
muh sceptile :))

>>58411389 (OP)
Black ans White's second versions were meant to add only new pokemon too

based

probably wouldn't have had to do it if the original set of sprites weren't so shitty looking
it's very telling that people thought for years the banette sprite looked weird and off-model and it turned out to be because they just based it off of the beta sprite that was probably made before they finalized the design

>>58411389 (OP)
The storyslop is also similar to Gen 5

>>58411389 (OP)
I can tell that was the original intention

>>58411525
>sprite looked weird
it's a ghost type
>and off-model
nobody thought this

>>58411643
If you give me like a day I'm positive I can find a usenet post about it.
Banette looks really weird compared to how it showed up in the anime.

>>58411662
you can clearly see how cheaply done this art is for the sake of anime budgeting
has nothing to do with the sprite and accompanying intended original artwork

>>58411677
>has nothing to do with the sprite and accompanying intended original artwork
Okay, so why the hell does it look like this in Colosseum?

That looks like modern Banette, NOT RSE Banette, and they definitely didn't have a budgeting restriction to model Banette that way here.

>fucking up the link that badly
Ahem,

>>58411721
the only difference is it has longer hands here and a perspective that shows how wide its face is

Source plz

>they couldn't figure out how to make a new zubat, geodude, or tentacruel
Everything else is pretty much accounted for... And they had plenty of prototype designs to work with. I bet they were more afraid of the reaction than unable to fill the gaps.

I don't understand what's different about banette here or there

>>58411424
retard

>>58413092
he's trying to say it's hand length and face width that's "weird and offmodel"

>>58411691

Super early pitch concepts from the Teraleak. They gave up on it immediately after realizing they couldn't design enough new Pokemon to match Kanto's number and started using Kantomons like Rapidash in character bios like Wally (despite the fact Rapidash ended up not even being in Hoenn anyway)

This would've been around when Team Magma were secretly infiltrating Devon Corps. from the inside and the games were prequels set in 1989. RS definitely have some of that DNA in them still, but couldn't commit likely due to needing to rebuild the engine for GBA and losing cross-gen compatibility. I'm sure if they were able to make it work they'd have committed but needing to get all 386 mons in the game's code changed that

Actually, I latched onto the head protrusion. It's "jagged" in both the anime and in DX, but it's "smooth" in the final RSE sprite.
Didn't even notice the arms.

see pic related. technically from the second half of AG but even in its first episode it still looked nearly identical to its usual appearance outside of a couple of gag faces
the original sprite looks completely deflated by comparison, has tiny arms and the spikes jut out near the back of the head instead of being centered around the head
even the one pokemon card banette got in 2004 which was ALSO obviously off-model (like many cards, especially at the time) still had significantly more in common with the current design than the RSE sprite

>>58413287
the card, for reference.

>>58413287
I kinda sorta see it, I just think it's a really tiny change, to the point where calling it "obviously" off model is a bit questionable...

Good, the franchise would've died even sooner if they pulled that bullshit. Kantomons saved these shit games.

>>58415606
>he's glad the franchise continued into this shitheap

>>58415610
We got Sinnoh out of it, so it was worth it in my eyes.

Sinnoh's the worst non-switch region lmao

nah that's Alola

You can say that about JOHTURD but Hoenn would have been just fine running its own dex and nothing else.

God I fucking wished Gardevoir didn't exist. If it didn't nobody would give a fuck about the Hoenndex

>>58415674

I wonder what your next cope will be

>>58415907
wow, a vote of 150 people in some random nobody community, you sure showed em

>>58415916
How does it feel being born after the year 2000?

>>58415925
I was born in 1999 and I played Red when I was 6, a Gameboy color handed down from my father, a game I beat when I was mere 6 years old. i wouldn't play my second Pokemon game Emerald until I was 8, and Diamond when I was 10.
I have played every single mainline game and I still hold the belief that Hoenn has the most iconic and solid choice of Pokemon to this day. Kanto doesn't even fare above Unova to me.

>>58415917
next cope please

Why do you get your opinions from YouTube?

>>58416163
I don't, I see what others' opinions are on youtube. If you don't understand the difference, you never graduated high school.

absolutely lost

>>58416318
it's just residual KDS zoomers became infected with due to the "pandering" in nugens

>>58416333
i figured as much

>>58411525
Banette looked like banette to me, I played the games and that's it. Same for nosepass.
