1996 Artwork Translations:

All 13 Itoh artwork pieces from the 1996 Pokedex book are now available in high-resolution, translated into English by Nob Ogasawara. Now that the video series is complete, I'm moving this page off Patreon to my public website: https://t.co/Dbp0OqaPA4

Some folks asked if we're gonna release scans of the full book. Each page takes ~40 minutes to clean up, so for pages that are just the standard art set and JP text -- only some. But all the unique artwork in the book will (or have been already) scanned, cleaned up, and shared.

New Video:

You might've heard the basic concept before that the 3rd Pokemon movie was originally about a Tyrannosaurus. It's covered here in full detail, in a video that's just as much about its troubled writer Takeshi Shudo as it is the lost film itself: https://t.co/1X4XUAJ0KY

Carddass Parasect:

This official artwork of Parasect using Spore was featured exclusively on the Japanese Carddass card set, circa 1997. We're working our way through enhancing all 151 Pokemon, so follow if you wanna see 'em all 👍

Beta Pichu:

Pichu's design changed a little, just a few months before Gold & Silver's release. Pichu was kind of a blog that wasn't squeezed tight its collar yet, and the ears were different.

@reggie_800 Of all the third parties that Zelda's been outsourced too -- Philips, Capcom, Koei Tecmo, BYG -- I think Retro could've been the best of the bunch. I would have loved to see them do a Sheikah spin-off on Wii. Oh well =/

Beta Dunsparce:

Dunsparce is based on a snake-like creature from Japanese folklore called the Tsuchinoko. But early in Gen 2's development, its beta design resembled the Tsuchinoko much more closely.

Beta Totodile:

During Gold & Silver's development, an early Totodile design featured some small but noticeably differences, most notably a belly pattern that was more similar to Feraligatr's.

Beta Wooper:

In Gold & Silver's 1999 demo, Wooper's original design was... pretty different. Gold & Silver launched just three months later, at which point Wooper was completely redesigned.
