To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon Emerald‘s launch in Japan, a collective of 130 artists has collaborated to create a romhack featuring newly redrawn versions of all 386 Pokémon from the game.
Saved you a click.
It’s called Emerald Resprited. Has a Vanilla version with just the sprite changes, and a different version where all 386 are catchable and trainer rosters are adjusted to match up with each artist’s contributions.
Incredibly inconsistent quality of the sprites. Just take a quick scroll through their google doc. Actual artist work right next to obvious child scribbles.
No way this is not a joke. There is a Digimon in there.
How can someone look at all these different styles, let alone the ones that literally look like they’re drawn by a six-year-old, and think, “Yeah, that’s fine”?
Not to mention charmander’s obvious rip off of Agumon (the Digimon) lol
Especially because there are tons of Roms with very good sprite and also a totally new adventure and all new Mons.
Oh wow… Squirtle, Ekans, Nidoqueen, Alakazam, Rhyhorn, electrode…
What the hell is going on with Oddish!
Hypno wearing a hi-vis vest, holding a stop sign.
Goddamnit, Hitmonlee is just straight up potato.
Kakuna wearing a tux?
Ekans made me cackle
I can see why the title says stunning cause I am stunned how this is anything but a joke? I could design better sprites and I only draw stick figures ffs
For everyone hating on the inconsistency of the art, I’m willing to bet it was a deliberate choice.
The inconsistency adds to the charm, and means that anyone who was a fan of it can submit art, regardless of skill level.
I’ve never seen it applied to a game before but it’s more obvious when compared to something like Shrek Retold
Ok now I get why you have to fight your way everywhere in pokemon. Imagine this thing running out at you in a cave. Of course you’ll send your Charizard to crisp it

Will it work on my miyoo?
Inconsistent as Android’s interface (Google joke)
