Now that Pikachu has been once and for all cured of early-instalment weirdness, how do we fix the rest of Kanto? Most of the original 153 don't look like Pokemon anymore, and haven't since gen 2 refined the artstyle.
>>59458928Isn't this fake? Did they not show Pikachu in the gen 10 trailer?
>>59458928>original 153Missingno...
>>59458973No, Meltan and Melmetal. Though I suppose really it's only 152 as really Nidoran M and F need to be condensed into one entry.
>>59458928the scary thing is they might use this thing gen 11 instead
>>59458928total beanchu death
>>59459127>Total Fatchu DeathFTFY
>>59458928Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if the trailer is anything to go by, they're not using this design.
>>59459127>>59459131total pikachu death.GLORY TO EEVEE
>>59458934Apparently it was from the leak, but yeah Pikachu in the trailer had a different model. So either it was fake all along, or GF scrapped that model.
>>59459345Of course it's fake
>>59459357They already admitted they got broken into kid, you don't have to continue to try and discredit the big pervasive leak we got.The likely explanation is Game Freak shelved it. Fuck, not as if pre-existing fucking game releases haven't confirmed already they DO shelve shit that doesn't feel right (Gen 3 having data for Shellos, before it got properly added in Gen 4).
>>59458928honestly i wish they went with it, i liked it and thought it was cute, and im so fucking tired of the current pikachu model, people said this was "sucking out pikachus soul" as if his current model wasnt the most soulless thing ever already, it just feels so plain
>>59460285I wonder if they changed it last second before finishing the trailer after the internet backlash, OP's pic was straight up trending on twitter with overwhelming backlash when it first leaked
>>59459357>>59459364The teraleak revealed the existence of Mega Zygarde and Mega Zeraora as proposed designs for the anime (from which only the former has been used in the anime, but both were introduced in Z-A).Additionally, the recent leaked DP documentary with actual footage also confirmed multiple beta designs and the Aus schematics.From start it was obvious that the sheer amount of leaked content was just too much to be made up by a few bored anons, but there's already more than enough hard evidence. At this point denying the teraleak is being deliberately retarded.Heck, the DP documentary may have even confirmed the rumors that Tajiri is in the spectrum.>they DO shelve shit that doesn't feel rightOn that line the documentary actually seems to have beta designs for future gen pokémon, including Lycanroc, Swirlix, Sandygast and even fucking Maushold
>>59459364>kidHoly cringe>>59460779>the leak is real chud that means this fake piggyback leak is real tooDeport yourself
>>59460798illiteracy isn't a personality trait, kidyou're too young to post here anyway
>>59460779>Heck, the DP documentary may have even confirmed the rumors that Tajiri is in the spectrum.I already figured as much with how reclusive he is. He's a even bigger hermit than a lot of mangakas who were known for having a reclusive lifestyle and stayed the fuck away from public life.Also, is that really him? I haven't seen any other pics of him besides the same couple of ones that were taken 10-30 years ago
>>59460951Being reclusive doesn't mean much in a vaccuum, plenty of celebrities are not only in Japan. Another thing is when you add other signs into the mix.But it's something in the way he moves and talks, add to it the fact the interview was recorded in the dark (hipersensitivity?). He's not chris chan levels of autism but there seems to be something.We were talking about it with a couple of friends and the conclusion is that he was comfortable as long as Pokémon was just the gang's little project, but as the franchise expanded and became global, he grew too anxious about it and stepped back from big roles. It's all armchair psychologist speculation shit, but the pieces seem to fit at least. I don't rule out confirmation bias though.>Also, is that really him?Why wouldn't be? The DVD was intended as a memento for GF employees, not to the public. The face checks out anyway.I think picrel is the most recent public photo based on the wrinkles. It's attached to an interview from 2018 where he talks about Pokémon GO.
whoever is trying to force this early installment weirdness meme all of a sudden, it's not gonna work
>>59461234Who said it's a meme? How else would you describe weird elements of the earlier instalments of a franchise that were cut out as the series was refined over time? Sorry it makes you upset.
>>59458928We've seen Pikachu in WW, it's not gonna look like this. This model was either a scrapped experiment or used for something else, like a reference for certain promotional material.>>59461234Also this. Probably forced by a bunch of zoomers (if not a single guy) who feel insecure about having missed Pokemania and such cause they were too young or not born yet. I see a lot of coping attempts related to this.
>>59461414>zoomers...PokemaniaWanna know how I know you're a fake oldfag?
>>59461414The pikachu model remained unchanged as Sugimori's design look hideous in 3d as opposed to the standardized OLM's design.
>>59461592I turned 35 literally a few days ago.
>Who said it's a meme? How else would you describe weird elements of the earlier instalments of a franchise that were cut out as the series was refined over time? Sorry it makes you upset.
>>59458928Even newer generations of pokemon fans admit that Pikachu looked better when he was fat. Very few want him to get even scrawnier than they've already made him.
