[29 / 3 / 1]
I spent the weekend researching British game video game designer James Turner. He was credited mostly for side games XD Gale of Darkness, Trozei, Pokemon Battle Revolution before joining official games in Black/White. He began directing art in Pokemon Shadow Lugia, Vullaby, Mandibuzz, Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe, Golett, Golurk (& cannon mode,) Phantump, Trevanent, Buzzwole, Guzzlord, Bruxish, Poipole, Naganadel, Galarian Zigzagoon, Galarian, Linoone, Obstagoon, Gigantamax Pikachu, Gigantamax Gengar, Gigantamax Centiskorch, Centiskorch, Sizzlipede, Sinistea, Polteageist, Paldean Taurus (all 3,) Dondozo, Tatsugiri (all 3.) Trainers Professors Sada & Turo All from Trozei, most (if not all) from PBR He has stated in interviews that the Vannilite line is based on Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from GB. Poipole and Naganadel are based on Xenomorphs from Alien franchise. Obstagoon has never been confirmed to be based on KISS member, Gene Simmons, despite Simmon's official response. What do you think of him and his works? Do you like Shadow Lugia or any of these official Pokemon? Are you like me and think he wears his inspirations on his sleeve? Are you also glad he has left Gamefreak officially as an artist and a director on June 9th, 2022? I repeat HE IS NOT INVOLVED WITH GEN10.

>>58199606 What was Simmons’ response on the matter? I don’t think I’ve heard that before.

All his designs are amazing, never understood the hate. I can understand it only for the Vullaby line, but personally i always like it

>>58199620 Oh, i forgot Bruxish, just 1 "questionable" design, my point stands

>>58199611 He stated he was honored to have a pokemon based on his likeness, despite Tuner, TPC, and GF never saying it was. I know this isn't /mu/ but Simmons is a massive airhead. I'm not saying Obstagoon isn't Simmons.

>>58199626 As for Bruxish, he only finalized it. I believe he only finalized the Gigantamax ones as well.
This could hypothetically mean he only added/taken away something like an extra color or another fin.

>>58199606 I also wanted to add he does not refer to Pokemon as monsters. He refers to them as animals. He stated he suffered from creativeness in a similar way of trying to find a parking spot in a crowded parking lot. "That animal has already been used. That element or way or attacking has been used."
I did this because I truly wanted to know when Pokemon stopped being monsters and started being animals with jobs. A close friend stated she thought its because pokemon fans were growing up and the average 20-30ish year old could resonate with a job rather than an animal/monster.

>>58199628 If true then GF and TPC are the airheads in this case. If the original artist gave the okay, there was no reason to deny it.

>>58201933 Tatsugiri is a cute original Pokemon, Dondozo is ugly and a worse Wishcash.

>>58201933 I personally like Dondozo more. I don't quite understand how your theory holds up. Dondozo, being just a giant catfish (I simply don't give a shift about the chef band), is a more believable creature than a fish that's actually a dragon that chooses to disguise itself as a sushi roll? But above these two pokemon, Whiscash is more preferred.
