>>53672608>no one is debating thatLewtwo literally still is last I checked, which is why I said that. He keeps referring back to an American book from 1998 because it's the easiest way to make the opposite side look like retards who are ignorant of Japan.
>specific colors that have never been shown in other media or merchandiseIDK I actually think some of those colors seem to have influenced other Japanese media and that's exactly why I think they're influential in and of themselves.
>Bulbasaur lineIf anything this shows the opposite, because the new scans present the line (or at least Ivysaur) as green, when there's clearly plenty of Pokemon media like the anime, certain manga, even some of the games, etc., most from the late '90s, that present Bulbasaur and co. as clearly blue.
I'm aware Lewtwo tried to do some backpedaline like "w-w-well the anime redesigned the Pokemon and so those colors are just a coincidence lololol" but it's very apparent that "blue Bulbasaur" isn't just some western thing and was common a lot in the '90s.
Also it's like 151 images; if you have enough room to archive tons of stock art that most people don't care about and will never check, it seems a pretty small deal honestly and it seems he chose to make it an issue entirely to be a dick. Also if anything having both side-by-side would make his versions look better or at least allow people to make their own judgments.
