    I do think Fearow needs to keep some of it's sharp edges, because it fits really well with the pokemon's attitude. It's very bold, aggressive and territorial and I think the roundness makes him feel a bit more tame and less menacing. Additional colour definitely is a good thing for fearow because he loos to bland otherwise.

      The sprites were designed first, over a period of ~5 years (1990~1995). Sugimori then drew up artwork for them once everything was finalized.
      However, another thing to keep in mind is his style changed drastically over that period. The Quinty comics are a good way to observe how it changed over that period.

    The Hypno redesign is really good! It's got really spooky witch doctor vibes. The only thing I'd change about it is to give it more tapir-like features, since Hypno and Drowzee are based on the Baku yōkai.
    Some of the newer Pokémon tend to draw directly from actual animals; Toucannon and Komala for example look very similar to the animals they're based on

  • @yokaiju8909
    @yokaiju8909 Před 4 lety +482

    Removing fearow's angularity kinda makes it just another bird. The pointiness is what made it memorable, and making it look 'cuter' and more approachable goes against its design point of 'evil version of Pidgeot'.
    Just seen Dewgong: the belly seems too cluttered, and that was after you said that Gen 1 was the one adding random parts. I think just some coloured bands, instead of the three 'eyes' and then a band, would be less convuluted. Hypno's pretty awesome, though.

    • @yokaiju8909
      @yokaiju8909 Před 4 lety +21

      @Pokémon & FF fan if it didn't have a nose, it wouldn't come across that it's a *stylised* version of a tapir. Drowzy is the basic animal, new Hypno is the evolved and diversified version of it.

      @Pokémon & FF fan I know tapir's trunks are short. Hypno's nose is a large human nose, not a trunk, so the pointy beak is a step up in my opinion as it's slightly more menacing.

      J.Samuel Waters unpopular opinion but I think the added complexity to the newer gen makes them look generic. It also
      Makes it more cartoony and less tangible. Some have features with no real life reference. I think the designs peaked in the second generation and then they slowly started adding more details because they were running out of animals to reference and still look different to other Pokémon.

      No I agree with you, Dewgong was THAT Sea Lion. The redesign was too much, gen 1 so iconic for that minimalism in design tho; it was very less is more back then. And all Fearow needed was a change or addiction to its color scheme, cuz the design is IT like you said ‘meant to look aggressive’ and sharp. The hypno made for a great thumbnail cuz it was the only design I liked and could see happening.

    I’m in love with Hypno’s redesign and I think it speaks the most to gen 7 out of all of them. The colors and shapes blend so well together into what I believe is a very convincing Pokémon redesign.
    The other two I think are nice, but do have some critiques on..
    The Dewgong one is definitely my second favorite and I really love the color scheme, it gives it a very Arctic feel, as well as the neck ruff and the round teeth.
    The flippers I felt were a little lazily designed and could be longer and have more exaggerated elements to them. The grey streak across the flipper I thought detracted from the overall design as it was very distracting and didn’t flow well into any other part of the pattern.
    I personally would’ve liked to see fully grey flippers with a grey back, but that’s just me. I like the incorporation of the spots, but find the diamond shape on the stomach to be detracting due to the clash of jagged edges and roundness.
    The Fearow design, I really love the neck ruff and the overall colors, but I think by making him too round a lot has been taken away from his original design that could have been incorporated into a gen 7 design. The neck in particular is still iconic and didn’t have to be rounded out completely. I felt a lot of Fearow’s elements were reminiscent of a vulture and all of those elements were taken away in its redesign and replaced with a more turkey-like bird
    Overall, you guys did great and I appreciate you taking the time to reimagine these awesome Pokémon!

  • @elijahdavila3684
    @elijahdavila3684 Před 4 lety +29

    One of my biggest concerns about newer Pokémon design is that a lot of the designs are very busy. If we look at Primarina vs Dewgong, Primarina looks less like a candid picture of a living creature and more like a seal that someone dressed as a mermaid. Dewgong isn't the most interesting design, but I also think it's true that simply adding more stuff to a design (like Primarina) doesn't necessarily make it more interesting. In fact, one of my favorite designs is Nidoking. If you look at Nidoking he isn't a super complex design and yet he is, imo, pretty interesting. If you look at him, you don't have an immediate idea in your head of exactly what he is and yet his design is iconic and striking. I love Pokémon who have that element of "je ne sais quoi" about them. I think that is one of the elements that makes a Pokémon design great.
    Edit: I actually think that the Hypno redesign here really keeps that mystery element alive and that's why i think it's such a great redesign.

      like, primarina having beads and a starfish thing in its hair probably isn’t going to serve any purpose survival-wise, but it fits the overall aesthetic the designers were going for. then there’s “koi fish, but with a horn because ??” and “dugong, but with a horn because ??”

    Fearrow: I enjoy everything though the eyes don’t really feel like “final bird” I’d say an eyes like toucanon or talon flame would work especially since it’s a fear sparrow.
    Hypno: hmm it’s...interesting for its inspiration I think it’s got the ears since it’s pre evo is based on a tappir, I kinda would say I would like to see a redone drowsee to match since this hypno doesn’t really fit being an evo to the normal drowsee, one thing I would’ve added is maybe add some reference to drowsees brown stuff that randomly is removed idk why
    Dewgong: again with the last I feel it needs a redone seel since the pre looks extremely plain compared to it. Also the colors are interesting since the scheme works for its typing, tho I’m curious why the teeth are yellow? It feels like an addition I still am a bit confused.

    I don't hate Gen 1. In fact, I love all generations. Each generation kind of has it's own "flavor" to it. You can see Pokemon's art style change each generation.
    Gen 1 was, imo, always in need of an update though. They'll never do it, because there's already been too many games with Gen 1 Pokemon in them, but I mean, look at it. So many of the monsters were just... so similar. Nidoking, Rhydon, Charizard, Khangaskan, Scyther... They all just have that "Lumpy-looking godzilla knockoff" look to them. There's not really much that separates them from each other, let alone other video games with unique "Pokemon-esque" monsters. You can argue against this fact all you want, but companies usually refine their skills and increase quality as they grow more and more successful, and Pokemon designs at the very LEAST have gotten more "refined". If that's a good or bad thing, that's up to you.
    I get the hate of other gens though. Not everyone wanted Pokemon to change. Some wanted them to stick with the simplistic designs of Gen 1 forever. And I'm not saying the newer ones are any better or worse, just that they clearly had more thought put into them. I remember somewhere someone from Nintendo said Pokemon was never even intended to be such a huge series. It was only after Gen 2 they realized they hit a gold mine, and thus bumped up their quality way more.
