Soaring Altomare 🎐🌊

[jiminysjournal]

If we ever get PokéItaly, it damn well better have Altomare.

I don’t want a new Pokémon Venice, I want the OLD Pokémon Venice, with Latias and Latios! And boat races!

I was hoping to find that beautiful shot of the camera orbiting Ash at an intersection, but…

Thanks to @negagogo93 who let us scan his postcard collection, we've finally rescued this iconic piece  ラティアスとラティオスのいる風景 by Ken Sugimori, dated March 2002 on the back.

Gen 3 concept art by Ken Sugimori featuring the infamous Latiken and their mysterious blue-haired trainer, possibly  2000. Enhanced by us from  a pic taken by twitter user kurowasan at the 2012 Game On expo in Brazil. One of the Gen 3 Proto-dex entries might refer to this very Pokémon, it reads:

 "Sightseeing Pokémon, A Pokémon that loves to fly with a human riding it. It quietly flies and is completely comfortable to ride. When it tires, it rests with its wings floating atop the sea" "Has a calm personality, so it dislikes fighting. Its horn(s) have magnet-like cells that act as a compass."
