what inspired them to ruin Pikachu's design?
>>58746524farfags are the most insufferable retards on this board by far. Deviantart was a mistake
>>58746524Soul vs soulless. The world was a better place when pikachu was fat.
>>58746524Disney perhaps
the series living expontentially longer than its creators intended or planned for
>>58746524The right is not even as bad as the current blimphead trademark.
>>58746524I don't care about the rotundness of that pikachu as I'm too enticed on how nice the gradient on the old figure's tail looks. Subtle white gradients look so good on Pikachu and I hope the franchise finally wakes up and realizes that giving pikachu subtle white gradients is the future of this franchise. The Detective Pikachu movie director knew what's up
I think it was the anime. Ash's Pikachu is highly athletic. You can't keep drawing fat Pikachu if you want to draw cool fight scenes.
>>58746589as a kid i love Sugimori's watercolour artwork, and i wish they could have incorporated that into the actual graphics somehow. we're at a stage where there are games with cel shading and filters, so they resemble paintings.you don't have to give the Pokémon realistic fur, but why not actual textures? everything just looks like a shiny 3D model, it reminds me of 2000s Sonic.
>>58746524I honestly think Pikachu on the right is perfect, fat Pikachu is not bad though. However if the leaks are true then they are replacing the current design with some chibi horror so it is over.
>>58746750if they wanted to, they could. Look at Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX
>>58746772was so focused on Captcha slop I missed my bus stop and forgot my pic. Fuck modern 4chan
>>58746773>riding the bus
>>58746782friends picked me up a few days ago and I've been out on adventures while my car was at home, shut-in fag
>>58746813that is pretty cool actually, hopefully Scrafty does not give you a hard time anon
>>58746524Fat Pikachu couldn't move well so they slimmed it down for the anime so they could actually animate it.
>>58746524We've already known this for a very long time, Pikachu's design changed due to the anime because the poor widdle anniemaytors were having a hard time depicting fatchu as a mobile creature.
>>58746524Your autism. You didn't play the japanese game, nor did you knew about its existence until it came out in western countries. Outside japan Fatchu existed for a single year. ONE YEAR. THIS was Pikachu from then on. It lived longer than fatchu ever has for what concernes you.You fatfags are really autistic.
