Pokemon is amazing because it started out being coded with duct tape and prayers by a small team of people. flash forward twenty years and guess what? it's now coded with duct tape and prayers by a medium-sized team of people

Inspired by Dewndeym on twitter (you should check them out, they make some amazing pixel art), I made HD2D versions of base pokemon sprites! It's a surprisingly fun thing to do as well, so I really enjoyed making these
The bergmite sprite was taken from Pokemon Showdown's XY sprite project.

"You shouldn't play Palworld because they blatantly ripped off creature designs from Pokemon!"

Here are screenshots from my fake pokemon website I use to trick my nephews. The fake game logos were made by @nyanoraptor. The "articles" read:
Gamer Freaks are about to GameFreak the freak out with the latest news from Nintendo! Coming in 2025 is Pokemon Hydrogen BOMB. The game will feature a whole new line of Military Pokemon like the Enolagey. A flying type legendary pokemon who will have a 1 in 25,000 chance to learn the move "Hydrogen BOMB". The move will come with 1 PP, 100% of hitting, and is so strong it will damage pokemon the opposing trainer has in their party. Even if the pokemon are still in their pokeballs.
The first and only Rated M Pokemon game. Drivers license required to purchase. Not compatible with the Nintendo Switch Lite. Must be a US adult resident to play.
I noticed my nephews tend to want to press the buttons on the webbed site (even if I'm holding my phone and have asked them not to since I have a LG Wing and its fragile) so I now make them functional. They used to refresh the page and I think it made them suspicious. The Press for Info button on this post takes you to a boring text heavy page of the ESRB website.
The text for the Coughing BABY reads:
Nintendo hasn't forgotten their young fans. Pokemon Coughing BABY is just as loud, just as fun, and every bit as wonderful. Coming out in 2026, Coughing BABY will feature a new legendary pokemon who will have a 1 in 25,000 chance to learn the move "Coughing BABY". The move will come with 1PP, 100% of hitting, and will poison all of the pokemon the opposing trainer has in their party. Even if the pokemon are still in their pokeballs.
Coughing BABY is Rated E for Everyone. No license required to play.
The read more button on this article takes you to the parental guidance page of nintendo. I feel like this sells legitimacy while causing their young 8 year old eyes to gloss over the massive wall of text and not notice it's only somewhat related.
I'll let you guys know how it goes the next time I see them. :3
