Pikachu – a little uncanny because an irl pikachu’s tail would definitely not look….like that, and poorly-rendered CGI animals with unnatural facial expressions will never be great. But ultimately not terrible, which is something I can’t say for most “pikachu IRL” designs. I also enjoy the detail of his stomach being white, and his paws and nose are fucking adorable. 7/10
Emolga – slightly uncanny in the same way as Pikachu, but still fucking adorable and not awful. Basically textured versions of the 3d nintendo models, and I can get behind that. 7/10
Dodrio – admittedly pretty blurry, but I like what I can see! 9/10
Charmander: again blurry, BUT HE LOOKS SO FUCKING CUTE 10/10
Psyduck: What the fuck am I looking at. It’s not the worst thing ever but it’s not good. 2/10
Bulbasaur and morelull: BULBASAUR IS SO FUCKING CUTE!!!!! and morelull is surprisingly cool so 10/10 for both (honestly? 11/10 for bulbasaur)
Jigglypuff: Haha funny nostalgia reference. 5/10 I don’t know how you’d make realistic jigglypuff look any better than this, but I don’t like it
Greninja: Ok I gotta admit. that’s pretty badass. 10/10
Charizard: God damn it, I don’t want to like it but its SO badass. 10/10
Squirtle: Lmao the screenshot I got of him makes him look like a ninja turtle. He looks cute tho, but I literally can’t tell what kind of textures he has on him. Granted I might be kinder to some of these Pokemon if they had no textures period but a no-texture squirtle doesn’t fit very well in this world. 9/10 the uncertainty makes me nervous but he still looks cute
Rufflet: RUFFLET!!!! his textures dont look very good but IDC because its rufflet and nobody ever remembers rufflet so 10/10 because rufflet
Mr. Mime: Horrifying, but that’s how mr mime is canonically. Simultaneously giving this a 0/10 and a 10/10 because it’s both the best design and the worst design
