The Pokemon anime themes from the first few seasons helped me graduate High School.

I am not even fucking kidding, I am forever grateful to the Master Quest theme.

They didn't help me graduate anything, but I know what you mean about the theme songs. So motivating and uplifting.

So anyone else really happy that X/Y is filled with old pokemon?

seeing old pokemon in newer games always brought a smile to my face.

fire/dragon charizard and water/dragon gyarados are child hood dreams realized in XY. so happy.

Since I'm interested in Pokemon again, I'm back!

I found this recently and holy moogle slap Jr does this artwork look great. I need to find out which card set this is from and who's the artist.

I also noticed they gimped Lapras's shiny with Gen IV and beyond. It use to have a pink underbelly to go with the purple but they removed it for yellow.

Gen II

Gen III

Gen IV

Is there any art books featuring a lot of Sugimori's older art?

Gold and Silver were my favorite games, I wish I could find a new copy of Soul Silver but I guess they stopped making them because I can only find used ones for 50$ a pop.

I really wish they would have had some Johto pokemon in X and Y, but the Kanto ones will do.

I think X/Y had plenty of Johto Pokemon, which ones are you looking for specifically?

If you want the easiest way, get the Red and Blue Nintendo Power guide and perhaps the Gold and Silver one should have some. The images won't be especially large, though.

I just purchased a Japanese GSC encylopedia book so maybe I can share the images when I get it in the mail in like a month. It has 1-251 artwork.

Thanks, I'll look into that!

I love it too! Pikachu is so plump and kawaii too. =w=

It's from a Pokemon OST album I believe! Ken Sugimori did artwork for Japanese OSTs and it's hard to find the artwork because of it being Japan only.
