What happened here

Wot
>>28951458
Demi Lovato's face is not real.
It's the official artwork of sugimori through the years
Art techniques developed over time
>>28951458
Every odd gen it feels like the style changes.
Gen 3 took away the watercolor flavor that seemed to breathe life into the art.
Gen 5 pushed the designs into a more cartoony sense with things like Archeops and Hydreigon, but the Dream World art accentuated this change of feeling.
Gen 7 pushed things to be wackier since 3D became expected to bear the natural appearance, allowing things like Lycanroc Midnight Form and Litten's final evo with their questionable proportions in 2D.

I got no clue. Doesn't really matter to me. I didn't really know much about Pokemon until 2004.
Designing a Pokémon to be 3D appealing makes the 2D form look like garbage

Just a reminder that all the new pokemon (Not sure about the Alolan Forms and Human Characters) were drawn by Ohmura and not Sugimori
>>28951690
Sugimori is still doing the art for the Alolan forms and some characters (as well as Zygarde Cell and 10%, but oddly not Complete), but you're right that none of the 100% new Alola region Pokémon art is done by Sugimori.
>>28951690
really?
any source?
>>28951458
time
1996-2016
>>28951690
Ohmura is just doing the final finished art.
Sugimori still designs pokemon.
>>28953935
Which ones, though?
>>28953935
Sugimori isn't the only Pokemon Designer

Boy I cannot wait for people to waste the post count in /vg/ threads on this schlock.
>>28953981
I didn't say he's the sole designer, anon, just that he still designs pokemon.
Reading comprehension is your friend.

DELET THIS

OF COURSE!
>>28951458
All I see is a list of well-designed Pokemon.
>>28954098
He also gave us Golurk, so he's already in my book.

>Original designer of Mewtwo still unknown...
Cry forever
>>28954108
I see a list of well designed Pokemon and Hitmontop.
>>28954150
If I had to guess it was Sugimori considering it's pretty much Kitty Frieza and Sugimori is a huge Akira Toriyama fan.
>>28954098
Fuck off, he's made more good Pokemon than bad Pokemon.
>>28954278
I thought it was based on Giygas

What
As in, the guy who made a bunch of Megaman artwork?
That's pretty rad, I didn't know that.
