>>50033594"real life" style pokemon art usually makes the pokemon look pretty ugly regardless of the arts true quality. Go on google images or any image site and you will see what i mean. When detective pikachu was announced i was skeptical as shit because I was wary of this, but they pulled it off pretty well at least for blockbuster movie standards. to this day ive seen only a handful of images where they can give a pokemon a super realist style and still keep it as cute or appealing as the original designs.
but... maybe this thread can make me eat my words?
