Simplified Gen 1 Designs
One of the biggest criticisms of the original Pokémon games has always been that the designs are too unfocused and overly detailed, so I decided to do something about it. Above you will see several Pokémon I’ve fixed to align more closely with my and everyone else’s aesthetic. I’ll detail the problems with the original designs below:
Machamp – Having four arms is ridiculous and unnatural.
Doduo – I’ve never seen a bird with two or more heads; it’s always just been one head as far as I know.
Pikachu – My gerbils are not electric, so I removed everything electrical about Pikachu as well as its feet.
Psyduck – It’s always making a really stupid face and it looks like it has a headache, which really annoys me.
Ditto – It’s way too amorphous. Roundness is something I hold in very high regard—I believe that round things are the purest things in the world (for example: the sun or a egg).
Dewgong – Seals don’t have arms, yet for some reason GameFreak decided to give Dewgong arms. Now it doesn’t have arms just like real-life seals.
Diglett – The fact that Diglett slightly resembles a penis makes me really uncomfortable since I’m not gay. I know gay people are supposed to be normal now, but I still don’t think it’s right that Diglett looks like a penis. Because of this, I’ve made it into a Pac-Man ghost.
I hope you enjoy how I’ve fixed these overdesigned Pokémon. Please subscribe and upvote for even more insightful art criticism. Thank you.
Is having zero arms any more natural than four
I bet you wouldn’t say that to a snake, would you?
