Pocket Monsters Blue launched in October 1996, though, and these cards are from '97.
Nah, even back in gen V which I loathe, something like how Excadrill drills up in motion is amazing.Early Pokémon art is the coolest stuff. You get a much more interesting and insightful look into how these creatures behave and fit into their ecosystems. I still love Pokémon but I don't think you really get that anymore. Not as much, anyway.

I wish they hadn't taken away Kakuna's claws. I liked them.
That is the original fat Pikachu.
Yeah, like a red skeleton. I guess that means Golem is hollow too?The art of Golem and Koffing using Explosion is kinda nice, because it shows the face/limbs remain intact, suggesting those pieces can reassemble, pulling together the shrapnel back into its original form.
I hope you never play SM or you may break out of this false narrative.I think that these pieces of art depict Pokemon as actual living beings in their world. What they do to survive. They hunt each other. Just like our own. Our world isn't pretty when it comes to live but it is fascinating. And I feel Pokemon has moved away from that sadly. That harsher reality that Pokemon took upon in it's earlier lifetime is gone for a more ideal world where Pokemon are nicer to not only humans but with themselves as well, losing some personality in the process.
Wing Attack was supposed to throw feathers? Wowa. (I haven't played anything after B/W so excuse me if they do that in current 3D animations)
Nidoqueen Poison Sting is some shit.
Aggressive as shit Clefairy is my favorite though.
And you BETTER DON'T PULL THAT AGAIN
Love the more "mature" take on them. I know we're long past it but it's fun to imagine.

I disagree, it is precisely in S / M that the aspect of ''How the Pokémon interact between them and their ecosystem'' is more careful.
I have but if your talking about the darker Pokedex entries then they never really happen in game now do they?I hope you never play SM or you may break out of this false narrative.
I haven't read it in a while, but I really enjoyed the Pokemon adventures manga partly for this reason.The world of Pokemon has always been quite violent. Makes me wish there'd be a time we get an edgy Pokemon game, kinda like level5 is doing with Yokai Watch 4.
