Summary
APokemonfan has shared their impressive artwork depicting a Ninetales trading card in a pixel art style. Ninetales is aGen 1 Pokemon with one of the most creative designsin the series, with its nine tails suiting its name perfectly.
Although thePokemonfranchise started out with just 151 Pokemon to choose from in Gen 1, that number has since grown to over 1,000. Because of this, there are plenty of different designs, and everyone has a favorite. The franchise has such a large fan base, and it seems that most Pokemon have had many pieces of fan art of their own over the years. One fan even showed their love for the franchise bymaking a neat hand-carved version of the Pokemon Ivysaur, which was a great way to get a fresh perspective of one of the most iconic designs in the series. ThePokemonseries continues to add new designs, and remains as popular as ever. With this in mind, gamers can expect to see plenty morePokemonfan art for years to come.
One creative design was shared by Redditor mich-spich, which shows off a Ninetales card if it were rendered in 2D pixel art. There’s even a close-up of the main artwork of the card, so players can really see the details of thisPokemonfan favorite. The art itself doesn’t seem to be based upon any of the original card designs for Ninetales, which allowed the user to take some creative liberties with the artwork and include some incredible details. It even includes a homage to the card game, showing the move Flame Tail, which doesn’t appear in any of the games yet remains a staple for Ninetales inPokemon TCG.
The amazing artwork inspired another cool idea in the thread, with one user floating the concept of physical cards in a similar pixel art style. It would certainly be an interesting way to pay tribute to the sprites of the early games in the series, which were used until the beginning of Gen 6, withPokemon XandYmoving to 3D models. The series certainly isn’t against limited edition cards in any way, with aPokemon TCGx Van Gogh Museum Card being revealedearlier this year.
In the world ofPokemongames, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company continue to bring new content to the Generation 9 titlesScarletandViolet. A few months back, the first piece of DLC was released for the games titledThe Teal Mask, and the secondDLC calledThe Indigo Diskwill be released on December 14. Many players were less than pleased with the games upon release, with many citing performance issues and bugs. However, these DLCs have the potential to go a long way in repairing gamer trust in the franchise going forward.
