After 17 years, we've preserved the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers soundtrack at the highest quality that has ever been released.

a release like this is unprecedented, and here's why. 🧵 The majority of PMD2 music uploads are low quality, and lack proper loop points.

This release is recorded from a variety of sources (details later in thread) but has been hand-looped, and mastered as if it were for a CD release.

Seen some of confusion about Ivysaur's Pokemon RB artwork in particular, so here's a quick thread to clear some stuff up!

Here is every major interpretation of Ivysaur in the series. [1] These all look different, what is Ivysaur's "true" color? Green, or Blue/Teal?

Ivysaur's true color is relative to where the artwork comes from. For example, in Generation 4, Ivysaur is a deep green in Diamond & Pearl, whereas it is significantly more blue-looking in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

For the very first time, we've been sent accurate scans of the original 251 Ken Sugimori Pokemon artwork to archive in high quality.

the difference is insane. For over 20 years, the Red, Blue, Gold & Silver artwork of each Pokemon across the internet had inaccurate colors, were often misshapen, and generally VERY low quality.

Thanks to scans provided by @ExcaliburZero_Z, we're finally able to see how they were always meant to look.

this is a really smart example of Kanto’s design, wedging a tiny route in-between the only two megacities encapsulates Tajiri’s initial pitch for Pokemon’s world— being based off his childhood home effectively being paved over by human development

the only issue with Route 7 is that it doesn’t go far enough with the idea. Wild Encounters are identical here to previous routes that suit a different context

putting some more man-made Kanto Pokemon here would probably fit a bit better

It's started! CEDED 2022 Hosted by Keiichi Maezawa of GAME FREAK. Full English translation of the presentation will come later.

Mostly just setting the story for how Pokemon assets were developed throughout the series, up until Legends Arceus. Confirmation that Pokemon Legends Arceus began development in Fall of 2018, with Scarlet and Violet starting around the time Generation 8 was finishing up.

Means both games had three years of development.

Saw Lewtwo at Pokemon Worlds today. Told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued competing, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I was leaving I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen TCG Boosters

never seen (anime) model sheets for the Unown until today but LOOK at this little guy go here's Unown Y sleeping

An anonymous poster has leaked some prototype files on 4chan's Pokemon board.

This thread will document what has been discovered by the community.

So far:

- The Bootrom for the Nintendo Switch (dated 2017)
- A file called "beluga.nsp" in an "eevee" folder. LGPE Protos likely? IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL SITES REPORTING ON THIS:

I do not have access to the leak, nor did I release it.

Many sites made this mistake last time, and be warned that I will go to extreme lengths in order to correct articles that state otherwise as it is very damaging to my brand.

Hey @GamesRadar, this is the SECOND time your writers have made a heavy error when reporting something that involves myself.

In your article, you say that I "have access to the leak" which is ENTIRELY untrue and was stated MULTIPLE times in my findings thread. (1/3) I have been sent information to report on. I do not have any content or files myself. Something similar happened when I reported the Picross protos last month, which means I'll be pressing forward with further action. This is super damaging to me. Also, who wrote this?? (2/3)

Hohoholy shit.

A prototype of Pokemon Sword has been leaked on 4Chan. It might be completely unrelated to the wack0 leak of 2018, which is where every single other Pokemon proto leak has come from.

Therefore, we have no idea if this is real or not. More in the thread... - Seems to use Sun/Moon as a base and had a minimap at one point (seems to show Alola's Royal Avenue)
- Screenshots show a WIP train station, Route 1 and Hop's house.
- Beedrill (which is not in the final game) is in the background, and is replaced on Route 1 by Butterfree.
