Why is Gen 1 the only time Venusaur looked good?
>>59055026Venusaur never looked good to begin with
>>59055026Venusaur is such a cool ambiguous plant monster thing.
>>59055026venushart, and especially ivyshart, always looked like shit
>>59055026They made the head wider and its eyes smaller + further apart so it looks much derpier.
This is his real gen 1 sprite.
>>59055026Because that sprite was made by Nishida, and Ken Sugimori made a worse design for Venusaur to boost Charizard
>>59055046venufags will look at this and then have the gall to tell you it's charizard's fault somehow
It was the only time they drew the sprite before the key art. Since they codified the key art, the resultant in-game presentation has had to adapt to that.
>>59055061Ken Sugimori is obsessed with CharizardHe ruined Venusaur himself because Nishida made a much better design
>>59055026the head and eyes are more similar to bulbasaur & ivysaurthe markings on the body are flat (like bulbasaur and ivysaur), they later changed these to lumpy warts for some reason
>>59055074>for some reasonBecause it's a toad you stupid cunt.
>>59055116its a toad dinosaur, some kind of monster
>>59055045This is the best Venusaur design. Look at how his head seamlessly connects to the body.They fucked up by separating his head from his body in the Blue sprite and Sugimori art.
>>59055158>"it's a toad [HEADCANON]It's a toad, its Japanese presentation draws nothing from dinosaurs, despite NoA deciding it had. Fuck, they even showed it off in XY anime as a reference to Jiraiya, a hero who rode a frog. Get back in your fucking box.
>>59055026>>59055029No, that’s Charizard.
>>59055212I feel like they picked the same and the -saur ending to make Bulbasaur sound like bulb + bizarre to go with the Japanese name that’s a play on “is t it strange?” It just happened to vaguely look dinosaur enough to fit.
>>59055045I miss when Pcket Monsters looked like monsters.
>>59055044both of these look awesomeFact
>>59055026That fat frog's always looked good, if you like far frogs that is.
