VIDEO: Re-Designing GEN 1 Pokemon in the GEN 7 Style

[Crossroads Bulletin]

What if…some Generation 1 Pokemon got a modern day design?
Pokemon designs have gone though so many changes since 1996. Some may say that Pokemon designed back in Generation 1 have plain looks compare to those from Generation 7. Those people are correct! After all, there is only so much you can do with a Game Boy with shapes and color.
That is why we want to feature a video by Subjectively. This YouTube channel is made up by a group of various artist who have taken upon themselves to look at design! From the idea to just the overall feel of the design. They have plenty of videos looking at Pokemon designs and in the video below they are going to redesign some Generation 1 Pokemon!
Are they fixing these designs? No way! Just giving them a modern day look that matches today’s designs. After all, the idea for some Generation 1 designs are plain for a few reasons. So go ahead and give this video a watch to hear what Subjectively have to say about their redesigns of classic Pokemon.

Now, if you want to hear them fix some Pokemon designs then click here! This first video will give you that and the line about the only way to fix Golbat is to not make it exist.

Bah, they didn't need fixing! Bah! The jynx one is super weird. O_o Idk the others seemed unnecesary. I can't see how moltres needs fixing. xD Or any of them.

Unless there's something legitimately insensitive about a design, I don't really like a design being referred to as needing 'fixing'. This feels more like a 'what could have been'. I saw an interesting post on the difference between Gen 1 and modern Gen styles recently-- basically it came down to, 'gen 1 is more focused on realism' and 'modern is more focused on a cuter art style and simplicity', which is easier for kids to draw, them being the target audience.

Also Golbat is just perfect the way it is.

I agree. Ooh! I saw that too! It was so fascinating! It's like that thing that we all knew but couldn't really put our finger on. (Or me, anyway. xD) Yeah, "fixing" is a silly term to use in this circumstance. :P And yeah, the golbat is....really dumb. xD I much prefer regular golbat!

Well...Game Freak did try to fix Jynx many years ago. It just sucks that they haven't gone back and give it anything else as if they are trying to avoid that Pokemon as much as they can to avoid putting any attention on a possible bad moment.
