Description On 27th February 1996 Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Blue Green were released in Japan.

15 years later, on the dawn of a new generation of games, it's interesting to look back at where the series has gone and how it's grown. From the simplicity of Red and Blue to the awesomeness of Crystal to the epicness of Black and White, and everything in between - it's been an interesting ride and one thing's for sure: it ain't gonna stop anytime soon.

The (once again, slightly rushed) pic above shows Pokémon that have played an important role in the movies from 1 to 13, as the movies are one of my favourite things in the franchise. (the latest one was shown on CITV yesterday. ) Some have been left out as I couldn't fit them on without making the pic insanely huge - Mew (who I can't draw anyway), the legendary birds, Groudon (who didn't really have much of a part in movie 6 anyway), Palkia, Darkrai, Giratina and Zorua (who strangely enough had a much bigger part than Zoroark in the movie. Go figure.)

It's also the first time I've drawn about half of these so apologies if any of them look a little weird. I'll definitely be drawing some of these again in the future.

So yeah, Happy Birthday Pokémon! Here's to the next fifteen years.

Enjoy!

Well I did notice that you did the stare off between Lucario and Edward Cullen.

Ah yeah, that. To be honest I could have made Luca look a bit more serious but never mind.

Don't suppose you caught the movie on Saturday morning did ya?

Urm, I kinda missed the movie, I had to go into town to put some stuff in the bank and such. I also bought an awesome graphic novel but you might not be bothered about it since it's not exactly your cup of tea.

Fair enoughski. It was on stupidly early anyways. I had to get up at half eight so I could make it down to Matt's on time.
All being said, I must admit it was one of the better Pokémon movies I've seen in a while.

I was actually up at that time but forgot about it. It'll probably get shown again though

Not sure if it'll get shown again - the UK likes to show it then forget about it.

However, I hava a sneaky suspicion we might actually get this one on DVD - it's about time we got another one. If not I might actually import it - I liked it enough.

Really, was it that good? And all after you said it'd suck.

Speaking of Pokemon, it's doubtful I'll be meeting you all as per usual on Friday due to Pokemon related stuff as you may guess, but if you need to pop round on Thursday to use the scanner we could hang out then.

Herp a derp.

Sounds good. I mean, my scanner's working now but I can still pop over and say hi I guess.

Yaaaaaaayz! Human interaction! Speaking of scanners I really need to get on and finish my entry for Round 3 of that contest thingy, the deadline's in two weeks and I have a feeling they'll pass by pretty quickly.

Are you gonna enter an NPC into the thing at all or are you just not that interested?

fire-ice-n-lightning In reply to TheLifeOfGaston [2011-02-28 22:25:27 +0000 UTC]


Two weeks? Thought it was longer than that. Make sure you get it done by Friday 'cos... y'know.

Not really that bothered to be honest. Drawing Ori and/or Karina has always been my weak spot and if I did enter I probably wouldn't do much anyways.
That and I prefer to do my own thing rather than follow a set of rules. 'tis why I'm not in many groups.

TheLifeOfGaston In reply to fire-ice-n-lightning [2011-02-28 22:36:46 +0000 UTC]

I know, I know. I'll get it done on time, I just kinda feel like I'm not gonna get through, it's getting to be a tough contest.

Fair enough I guess I'm thinking of entering Gaston as an NPC which I've probably said numerous times, but that'll probably happen when I've finished my Round 3 maguffin

The NPC stuff is pretty free, I suppose the only limitation is that if anything's submitted then it has to be to do with the islands and has to be finished. They stopped accepting scraps and sketches because they were clogging up the galleries

Ah yes, Gaston. He's arriving on Wailord, isnt he? You know things are gonna get serious when Gaston arrives.

I've just had an idea - if one of your pics has a crowd in the background, could I/you/we put Ori or Karina in with them? Just a thought.

TheLifeOfGaston In reply to fire-ice-n-lightning [2011-02-28 22:46:25 +0000 UTC]

Why yes he is!

Good idea, they could be sat at a table with an umbrella on the beach having a chat as Gaston approaches on his Wailord.

Exact-a-mundo! By the way for when I get round to doing it, what Pokemon does Karina have?

Hey look, it's those things that they are!

...Deoxys is a tad off colour though- his body is orange, not grey. Gray. Grey? I don't know.

Well you probably wouldn't look too great yourself if you were being hugged by a big green dragon.

I'm guessing you might wear it as a fashion accessory.

A Deoxys? *thinks*


...I wonder how that would look as an outfit for Zolo...

ProfessorZolo In reply to TheLifeOfGaston [2011-03-03 10:24:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh, almost definately. There's a version of the "Gear Change" meme that I was partway through drawing that has him and Abby swap clothes. Not a good look for him, no matter how "festive" it may be.
