Project Voltage has been really cool so far! The artwork is all out and the music video's are still happening! But what is Project Voltage? Just a Hatsune Miku x Pokemon crossover? a Pokemon x Hatsune Miku collab? Well on the surface yes. But they thought good and long about which Pokemon to have partnered with Miku for each type! Allow me to explain.

Another reason why Miku could have been paired with Aurorus is because, in popular media and documentaries, sauropod dinosaurs are frequently shown to make whale-like sounds, singing, and there is actual evidence that shows that sauropods were likely able to make similar noises, since they had a lot of hollow space inside their bodies, it is believed that their sounds would reverberate a lot inside them, making powerful booming roars and ressonating growls.

Some stuff I thought you should've mentioned! - Psychic Miku has a Twisted Spoon sticker on her bag, as well as an Unown and Bruxish sticker. Both are Psychic Type Pokémon. She also has charms shaped like a Colbur and Tanga Berries, which reduce Super Effective Dark and Bug Type damage respectively! - Water Miku's tan has an odd pattern because it's based on her usual outfit. The most noticeable detail is the detached sleeves - Jigglypuff's dex number is #39, which is a significant number for Miku because of multiple reasons

First off, happy birthday man/woman, hope you're enjoying your time with family members and having a huge cake and gifts here and there. Second off, I mean, I've known Hatsune Miku for nearly 15 years, but I'm not a fan of the style of music she sings/dances to...I don't know, I'm more of a classic house/bubblegum dance/house type of person, not so much J-Pop Rock type of music that I've heard multitude of times that it's no different from how rap/hip-hiop/trap/pop/country music sounds very similar to one another.

I absolutely adore the Dragon Miku. Dark is still the top spot (also because I, too, like using Luxury Balls but that's a minor point), but the connection between Miraidon (which with its ability also more or less literally sets the stage for her) and Miku as well as the outfit and the sword mic given to her? I love it.

@Artista_Frustrado 7 ай бұрын

- the cool part is that Fire Miku's jacket is not just shapes, the sleves are Equalizer displays like what you see in Audio mixers, & her triangles are stylized speaker grills. Same with Water Miku's top being piano keys - Dragon Miku & Miraidon is pretty obvious: The Dragon of the future meets The singer of the future, that's the entire Vocaloid aesthetic (which is funny considering Vocaloid has been a thing for almost 30 years) - i love that Bug Type Miku's dress basically makes her La Cucaracha, one of the most well known Mexican songs - also my favorite is Fighting Type Miku, taking the silliness of the Levan Polka meme & made it into a delinquent boss

@temmyetemm 7 ай бұрын

Some Add-ons: Chatter and Vocaloid, funnily enough, have a lot in commom: Vocaloid are prerecorded voicebanks that you can use in a software to make it sing what you want, kinda like Chatter needed a prerecorded clip to then say what you wanted. In the ground type, it's quite interesting that they made her a more desert-esc outfit because in one of hers most famous music, Sand Planet, she also traverses a desert. I don't think that the design was based in this music clip, as Flygon is mostly the only Ground type associated with music, but it's a quite nice coincidence. Lastly, It's quite fitting that the Ghost type Miku is kinda disappearing from the existence, but this one is most likely not just because of the Ghost type but also because other famous music from Miku is The Disappearence of Hatsune Miku.

A note about the ground type, and why it's so cool that it's themed so heavily to sand, specifically! One of Miku's more recent (recent being like 2017 lol) popular songs is known as "Dune" or "Sand Planet" (Depending on the translation), the music video and album art depicting Miku walking through a sandy desert, meant to symbolize her relatively niche appeal and the dedication of those who both use her to create music and listen to said music (as in, making Vocaloid music isn't necessarily a quick and easy path to success or even a lucrative career, the people in the community are in it for the passion). So many comments on ground-type Miku I saw were at least referencing the song Dune in some way, I thought that was really cool! Dune is one of the most watched Miku music videos on KZfaq!

three little details i noticed is that her tan lines on the water type design on her arms and legs match up with her detached sleeves and boots from her regular design. And with the ground type design, when you mentioned the crocs at first, i thought you would touch on it more as the holes seem to make a skull design, which with Cubone/Marowak and the various moves named after bones being ground type, the skull fits with the ground type design. Then finally, the font for dark type miku's '01' is very nice since with other designs, they didn't keep it red, and it could have been made black here, but staying red makes the 0 look like a pokeball on its side.

I gotta say rock type miku looks very reminiscent of an outfit you’d see at a snow miku concert. So snow/ice and miku have a loose connection thanks to these concerts. It’s a loose connection between miku and aurorus but it’s there

Ghost Type Miku's sleeves have the design of Spell Tags in them! The glitchy theme could also be related to one of her most iconic songs, Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu/The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku

I have a question: are you going to explain the returning pokemon in Paldea? The connections between returning mons from previous gens and iberian peninsula-inspired region interests me... (You could also do Alola and Unova, but you need to take some time to do it)

@dragonicdoom3772 7 ай бұрын

Miraidon also fits since it and Koraidon are basically the Paradox Forms of Cyclizar, and Paradox Pokemon aren't real past/future Pokemon but instead the dreams of Professors Sada and Turo brought to life by Terastal energy, much like how Miku isn't real but rather someone else's dream brought to life by technology. It also makes sense for Miraidon to be chosen over Koraidon given it's futuristic tech theme and its Electric type matching Project Voltage

@MushyRoom77 6 ай бұрын

So happy to see people discussing Project Voltage. As a fan of Pokemon, Vocaloid, and character design, its brought me alot of joy! I'd love to see you discuss the collab songs in the future too. Tho, i know that might be hard due to copyright, so it's understandable that it's not possible.

@kirakiwi5457 7 ай бұрын

I’m sure it’s been brought up a bunch already, but Ground Type Miku probably takes at least some inspiration from the very popular Miku song ‘Sand Planet’. I know I thought of it when I first saw the design lol Edit: Also, Fairy type Miku’s style is most definitely schoolgirl gyaru!

I don't think they could have chosen a better bunch of Pokemon for this collab. And as someone who is getting a little sick and tired of constantly seeing future generations of Pokemon get shafted marketing wise in favor of "The Big Five" of gen 1, it is so nice to see some more obscure Pokemon getting represented here. And Miraidon for Dragon type was just genius.

I love thos collab as a whole, and my faves are definitely ice and fighting, but something about it that I love thinking about is the normal and psychic mikus. Psychic miku very much looks liek a normal type trailer until you notice her psychic abilities, and then the normal type miku looks like a psychic type trainer to me! I have no idea if the idea was intentional but its like they made the clearly default psychic type miku so normal all the crazy psychic vibes had to go somewhere so normal type miku took them bc she couldnt just look ACTUALLY normal. They look like they switched places to me and its just sooo cute.
