Why doesn't Pikachu look like he used to?
Рет қаралды 1,344,505
Күн бұрынLook at Pikachu's design from 20 years ago, and he looks almost unrecognisable compared to his design in the modern Pokemon games. So what happened to this so-called "fat Pikachu"?
NOTE: I referred to Pikachu throughout this video as "he", since Ash's Pikachu is male. I am aware, however, that Pikachu is a species, not a specific character.

This is always some interesting things about designs that people tend to simplify them too much. I know a lot of Pokemon fans make their crackpot theories about stuff like the designs and how nowadays Pokemon designs are suppose to be marketable and need to be cute. But this explanation sounds reasonable and made a lot of sense. Pokemon is a multi media brand and many of their decisions can effect countless of other projects. So having the design of one of the Pokemon change in order for the anime yo use it better if it’s the main focus sounds pretty reasonable to me. It’s that first draft syndrome and sometimes you need to change the design bit by bit to fit your standards or be easier on the artist.
