"With Pokemon Art Academy released in Europe today, Pokemon series art director Ken Sugimori shows budding artists exactly how to draw the franchise’s mascot, Pikachu. The electric mouse can be drawn in a few short steps, so make sure you watch the video above and see if you can replicate Sugimori’s faultess, picture perfect drawing."
'Translated by the always awesome Shmupulations, the interview also goes into how the late 90s Pokémon craze affected Game Freak’s work habits, the benefits of the Game Boy’s limited graphics, and the deepness of pixel art. The post also translates a few thoughts from the series’ then-producer Shigeru Miyamoto. It’s taken from the 2018 biographical manga of Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri, and contains a nice insight into his relationship with Miyamoto.'
If it wasn't for this one stumbling block, Mega Flygon would have been in Pokemon X and Y.
Ken Sugimori talks Pokémon art and how he wants to take it back to basics.
Pokemon Red & Blue remake for Nintendo Wii U would be a great idea!
I would love to play a HD Pokemon RPG adventure on console.
Very cute. :)
