>>29700081Almost all Pokemon have lighting coming in from the left side wether it's at a heightened angle or just straight on with few excepts, this gives the game one layer of cohesion being when a Pokemon faints or its switched out the transition from a light sources with an origin to the left of the Pokemon to an origin to the right is generally avoided giving the pokemon a unified shading. Also don't forget that color was a complete and total after thought as most Pokemon were originally drawn out using the gameboy's grey scale pallette and by removing the sporadic change that is the colored sprites we gain ANOTHER level of cohesion, you could argue by removing the colors of the fan work it could make THOSE sprites more cohesive to the official work but that's where my last point comes in. The last layer of cohesion in the sprites is, as I've stated before, the line work, most every Pokemon in this picture is highly detailed to a point even if they end up looking kind of doofy (I.e bulbasaur family) yet in the case of Bulbasaur's line they still have immense detail in their flowers and leaves and there's very few ""mistakes"" with smooth outlines for the most part unlike the fan work which leaves in jagged and and rigid line art because "gen 1 has bad sprites." ALSO I just noticed....
Why does the full gen 1 to gen 5 demake include sprites from both Red, Green AND Blue instead of just the original? That's weird.
