Immensely disappointed that the Pokémon 30th Anniversary artbook is regurgitating those atrocious green-tinted Sugimori scans instead of making an effort to just rescan them properly.

FINALLY able to post about GAME FREAK's new game! "𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹" began development in early-2023, and uses Japan's real-world weather forecast for combat. Artwork and designs are by Pokémon Legends Z-A artist Aki Minamino, Ken Sugimori and— [1/2]

— Kyoko Abe. Developed concurrently with Pokopia and Beast of Reincarnation through GAME FREAK's Gear Project, direction and design was handled internally by Shigeru Ohmori, with production outsourced to Chronogate, a studio led by GAME FREAK alumni Katsunori Suginaka. [2/2]

The amount of inane defenses and appeals to authority I've seen over a Pokémon save editor is fucking absurd. They've had a decade to come up with a simple offline transfer solution to HOME. Even a single USB peripheral would make millions.

The guy who made the AI-generated Gen 1 recomp left a reply to my thread on Twitter (completely unprompted/untagged) saying all of my issues with that release were "inaccurate", so it was suggested I post my video comparison (with the sheer volume of bugs from just the intro alone) to here as well.

the (human-made) Pokemon Crystal recomp has been out for months yet this still feels fucking surreal

almost sounds like a classic Pokémon cycling theme composed by modern day Ichinose holy shit

Lewtwo@lewtwo.bsky.social

just heard Go Ichinose's new music and if he sounds like this on Pokemon Winds/Waves I'll lose my fucking mind

Kotaku parading that garbage "recompilation" Generation 1 Pokémon project is genuinely upsetting. I was hoping the communities would reject vibe coded garbage, but these people are now intentionally hiding the usage and even lying that it's hand-written to peddle their slop onto others.

you all have no idea how much restraint it took to not post this GAME FREAK gif for WEEKS

New video! We've archived a development documentary for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl with over 100 never-before seen designs and a full breakdown. Sinnoh will never be the same. 🟣How We Uncovered Pokemon’s Biggest Secret🟣⬇️

Early design of Turtwig from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl! Was partially reworked into Grotle's from a request by Ken Sugimori to make it appeal more to young kids.

Newly restored scan of Cyrus' Initiative from the Pokémon TCG by Ken Sugimori!

a while ago we also restored Ken Sugimori's artwork of Ho-Oh from throughout Pokémon GSC's development. insane to see how his style developed in just three years

does this site have 4k image uploading yet because if not it might be over man. no place to share hq art actually spells the end of a lotta shit until the website is done.

was sent some Pokémon GO/Niantic staff confirmations from Worlds 2025 that I should probably document before I forget Craig Kitzmann • Shaymin Environment (GO Fest 2022) Aubrey Kim • Beach Environment Alex Turbyfield • Halloween Environment

Pokemon Legends ZA has the most promising development for a modern game in the series, and I've spent the last few months on a video dissecting why. 🟣 The Savior of Modern Pokémon 🟣⬇️
