Artist's Comments

Yesterday by accident, I happened to stumble upon a couple of sprites of "newer-generation" Pokemon, pixeled in the style of the old Red/Blue games, which were AWESOME. (And also a couple of sprite recolors that claimed to do the same thing but were just flat-colored...sprite recolors. LAME.) So I thought, "why not," and tried a couple of my own. xD I started with Empoleon, and then decided, "Heck, I'll just do all the starters."

So here they are! I kind of cheated in regards to the colors, which aren't actual 8-bit colors, although I of course stayed true to the style of using a limited color palette. And then I realized Torterra's tree was on the wrong side, because I was using a flipped image as a reference. D'oh! But I didn't feel like flipping him. Other than that, I'm really pleased with how these came out.

Wow, that's awesome.
They really look like they're from the old game.

I love a twisted story

Thanks, I'm glad I was able to capture the style well :D

hello pixel god +__+

Heh, I find it even more believable because torterra's flipped (ironically?). Koffing was like, upside down in R/B for some reason. xD [link]

Oh man, these look so very authentic and it fills me with joy!
:iconhedgehogbeeblebrox:
Haaah he was, wasn't he? HUEG FOREHEAD ALERT
Man the old sprites were so weird. I mean, they were awesome, I love the style, but...really...really bizarre (GOLBAT OH MY GOD) The Gamefreak guys must have been on some hardcore drugs.

Awuhhh thank you ;3;

Those are terrible! And by that, I mean they're really authentic looking and they'd really blend into the world of RBY and that you did a great job :D

Urghh.. something about RBY gives me the jibblies.

...but I'm sure Sephiroth sometimes walks around saying "Where's my other wing? I mean, I know I'm a god but even gods sometimes have to obey the laws of gravity. I can't fly with only one wing."

The first two look awesome because its HARD to tell what they are but at the same time you know (just like half the pokemon from the old game)... the green one is a little too defined for the old style but it looks awesome none the less.

Oh god I think the best one is the middle one xB. I loved the old games, I still play them even though theres NOTHING to do with them anymore.

Haha, thank you! XD

Yeah, some of the RBY sprites are rather...creepy...

Ah, yeah, I think you're right about the "defined" part. The middle one I did first and whenever I do anything first in a series, it always comes out the best. xD

Yeah, I still love my Blue game even though I've done about everything to do ;; I'd go glitch-hunting, since stuff like Missingno simultaneously creeps me out really badly and fascinates me, but I'm too afraid to loose my saved data, even if they're nothing more than a bunch of pixels. |D

I don't know why, but somehow, most of old skool Kanto creeps me out. I like Fire and Leaf, but Red and Blue are UERGH. Yellow is good, though. The sprites are super cute.
