Pokemon used to have such a distinct artstyle. It's shame that it's fallen into the Japanese media trap of anime same face.

The second gen (not the remakes) was probably the closest we got to matching Ken Sugimori's original watercolors in game

    Wow I’ve never thought about it but that would slap so hard. It’s honestly pathetic how little risk is taken with Pokémon as opposed to say, zelda, or to a lesser extent mario.

    Those early Pokémon cards had some banger art.
