Hi-Res Pokémon! - Rescuing official Pokémon Art!さんのイラストまとめ

It's almost Summer here, but let's celebrate Spring anyways with this 1999 piece by the great Keiko Fukuyama.

heh, I believe this resolution is the best we're going to get without actually restoring and redrawing parts of them (which we might attempt in the future anyways) hopefully one day they'll be released to the public ù.u7

1997, Elite 4 Lorelei and her Pokémon by Mato 真斗 , from the manga Pokémon Special (Pokémon Adventures). Scanned and enhanced by us.

1997 rendition of the Gen 1 Elite 4 by Akiko Narita, in the book ポケットモンスター 用語辞典 (Pokémon Vocabulary)

And a digital colored version of Meowth and Hitmonlee also appeared on Game Freak's original website.

Back in 2015, Sugimori himself gave us a peek of the folder where he keeps the sketches for this Calendar. You cal also see Cubone and Growlithe underneath enhancing the contrast [continues...]

Peak Sugimori Alert! At last, we are proud to present the page from the Pokémon 1998 Calendar, the last time he painted gen 1 Pokémon in his trademark watercolor style. A wonderful piece we re-scanned, and this time you can find a 12k pixel version for download in the thread!

Today on "Average-Res Pokémon" Koga and Giovanni battling using "Toxic Cloud" and "Call the Boss" from their cards by Kagemaru Himeno, in June 99 CoroCoro. Unfortunately, these pics are always so tiny there's no use in up-res-ing them up all the way :/ really funny anyways

Couldn't get my hands on time on the English Pokémon Snap guide, so I'm just reposting this 1999 additional Benimaru Itoh art only featured in this guide https://t.co/DSAxqTyzTl . The hi-res versions will come as soon as I get the book :D

Welcome back, Pokémon Snap! Let's celebrate with this art by Benimaru Itoh featuring Todd Snap (トオル) and his vehicles from the original 1999 Pokémon Snap (2/3)
