Singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot died a couple days ago at age 84. Here is a Pokémon AMV I made of his "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" song, set to clips from the St. Anne arc (one of my favorite arcs in the series)...

They do, but remember: the back sprites in Yellow are recycled from Red, Blue and Green. I guess they wanted to save money and only redid the front sprites. This practice of reusing back sprites wasn't just in that case: HeartGold and SoulSilver recycled the back sprites from...

I actually thought it looked cute. But with all the nice things I could say about Yellow, I will admit several of the sprites are in rather odd poses, even if they're on model most of the time... Blastoise kinda looks like it's dancing. Sandshrew running on the ground...

I didn't mind that very much, probably because they went and actually re-animated the old scenes from scratch so they would fit with the HD format of the show. I will admit I found myself cracking up at the remake of the scene where Charmander evolves! Though the remake of the "Charizard's...

I recently re-watched the recent Pokemon episode "Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion," and the flashback sequences got me thinking. Even though it's been 10 years now, I think Cartoon Network seems like an ideal network for showing the lost un-dubbed Pokemon episodes "The Legend of Dratini" (Indigo...

That is most likely the reason. The invisible PC was removed in Yellow though, and the hotel also doesn't resemble a Pokemon Center in FireRed and LeafGreen (maybe the Centers got remodeled but not the hotel?) And yes Gama, I did feature that hideous Red/Blue Golbat sprite, complete with a...

Time for another thread bump! This time, I have been testing out Pokemon Red for the heck of it, and in the process have been getting some interesting screencaps and coming up with captions for them as well, including criticism on the sprites... "What the heck is THAT thing?!" (I...

Re: My comparison of the Japanese and English versions of "Battle Aboard the St. Anne Yup, according to Dogasu's Backpack, it even had the narrator saying at the start that it was a special sneak peak preview of the series. And at the end, before it said "TO BE CONTINUED," the narrator said...

The episode I just mentioned, "Battle Aboard the St. Anne," was always one of my favorite Indigo-league episodes, and still is today. A good bulk of it is laugh-out-loud funny, has some great battle scenes, and ends with a neat Titanic-esque cliffhanger. For years, I've only known the English...

Simple: it's because many of the Yellow sprites, despite having them more on-model, put them in somewhat unusual poses (like that dancing Meowth.)

Here's something I've been working on for quite a while. I've always loved the Simpsons episode "Itchy and Scratchy Land" ever since I was a little kid, and having read a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror comic story from 2008 depicting the Simpsons characters in a manga style, I wondered what a...

That makes a lot of sense. I remember if you played Red or Blue or Green on a regular Game Boy Color, it wouldn't have that Super Game Boy/Pokemon Stadium look to it; it would be that monochrome setup where the default setting is all backgrounds are one color, and all character sprites are the...

Huh, I always liked the Yellow sprites best. They seemed almost like single-color prototypes of the Generation II sprites, and many of them looked like they were based off these old Ken Sugimori pictures: = = = = = Though to be fair, some of the sprites in Yellow ARE in...

The old Butterfree sprite doesn't look monster-like to me; the body isn't too bad, but it's a little unusual with the angular-looking wings. The newer wing design sort of reminds me more of the Cabbage White butterfly, which is what Butterfree was based off of: Though I'm not to keen on the...

Then that adds more to the mystery of why the Pokedex upgraded included a voice change in the dub. Maybe it was to reflect replacing outdated firmware and stuff? (I'm almost suspicious the old voice-modulator effect they used for the Pokedex began to stop working properly, and they wrote the...
