Is this the only universally accepted example of SOUL vs SOULLESS?

Pokemon's entire point was always soulless. The franchise is about selling you the same game with two to three different versions per generation. Pokemon was always a scam. When will this scam be called out by parents and refuse to buy this shit? Pokemon needs to fucking die for its obvious scamming. Even the latest game you need to buy two versions of the same damn thing.

Nu-chu looks better.

I miss that fat rat like you wouldn't believe.

Also the watercolor artwork. Nothing will ever be as soulful in Pokemon as the watercolor artwork

RGB had lots of soul, it was from Yellow onwards that they lost it.

How was it a scam? The entire point was to get one version and trade with friends.

>SOUL

the most braindead take on all of Zig Forums

his tail used to be black. mandeler effect alert

Right is better. Left is a obese rat.

Also here's a mockup of one of my favorite nu-Pokemon in the old artstyle.

Look at this and try to tell me it doesn't look like the definition of SOUL when compared to his regular artwork.

Op said soul vs soulless, not soul vs soul.

i really miss the pokemon looking more like monsters than marketable toys

>implying GSC isn't SOULFUL as fuck
>implying Platinum wasn't also SOULFUL as fuck

zoomers have it better than us.

Has to do with the right being easier to animate. Since Pokemon act like humans, their designs were adjusted to make their human-like expressions and gestures look more natural.

Just make it so that you can pick a version on a new game. Since Pokemon has only one save file you need to trade with someone that picked another version for you to get those pokemon for your save. It would also take next to no space since literally only a few numbers would need to be changed. I swear you people defending this jewishness are literally brainwashed.

The tip was never black.
Trust me, I've been drawing that fucker from memory for almost twenty years.

Outside of emulation being great (lmao good luck building a PC with prices right now), no.

Post the tails gets trolled image
You know wich one

god I hate boomer nostalgia

lol poorfag

Explain.

Most people on earth are poorfags.

I love pokemon.

>Pick a version in game
How is this different than just buying one of the versions?

Both of these designs are fine. What REALLY sucks is the weird-ass round-headed Pikachu design, which seems to be most commonly found on merchandise and other promo stuff. Too lazy to pull up a pic but I'm sure at least one other user here knows what I'm talking about.

they have better stuff

Pokemon would have been better off as a series if the anime didn't exist.

Fite me.

Now that would be cool.

So you can play play the other version on a different playthrough?

Isn't part of the reason new pokemon sucks is to keep up with the anime? Can't delay the game if it needs to be, like how Animal Crossing was delayed because it needed the time

The other version is literally the same save for a couple of pokemon you can trade to your buddies.

the pose really helps in this pic imo

it would never have had nearly as big an audience

I kind of agree though, but that's just because I played red and blue when I was 12 then never got any pokemon games again

The franchise marketing guidebook refers to that style as "Corporate Art", so you're referring to Corporatechu
