Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Shows What the Starters Would Look Like With Gold and Silver Style Graphics

gamerant.com:

Nintendo and Game Freak continue to unveil new details about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, causing many Pokemon fans to speculate more on teasers included in the brief trailers released so far. In celebration of the upcoming generation of Pokemon, one Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan has remade the starters in the Pokemon Gold and Silver graphic style.

Reddit user The_Internet_Goblin recently posted a piece of fan art that includes Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the unreleased Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The three starter Pokemon were confirmed months ago in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet reveal trailer, with Sprigatito as the new generation's Grass-type, Fuecoco as the Fire-type, and Quaxly as the Water-type. While other Pokemon fans have imagined this trio in many other ways, The_Internet_Goblin creates individual frames for each of them in the Generation 2 graphics.

Retaining their unique Generation 9 aesthetics, The_Internet_Goblin's interpretation of Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly as Pokemon Gen 2 sprites effectively captures the pixelated visuals and limited color pallet of the Game Boy Color. Each Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter made into Gen 2 sprites features one color in various shades beyond the black and white that outline and detail things like Sprigatito's whiskers, Quaxly's cap, and the apple-like tufts on Fuecoco's head. This limited Gen 2 color pallet ensures that the Pokemon are still recognizable despite conveying the yellow patch on Fuecoco's chest, the distinct pattern on Sprigatito's face, and the depth of Quaxly's beak less effectively.
