Fan - Ken Sugimori style remake of Pokemon Red and Blue | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Fan – Ken Sugimori style remake of Pokemon Red and Blue](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/fan-ken-sugimori-style-remake-of-pokemon-red-and-blue.jpeg "Fan – Ken Sugimori style remake of Pokemon Red and Blue")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/fan-ken-sugimori-style-remake-of-pokemon-red-and-blue.jpeg)The look and feel of the Pokemon series has changed dramatically since the days of Pokemon Red and Blue.

But while the modern art style is still beloved by many, some longtime fans may be nostalgic for the series’ classic aesthetic, and may wonder what could have been had the series continued along that path.

Pokemon fan-artist **@pokeyugami** has prepared a fake trailer picturing what a 3D Pokemon game may look like if it retained Ken Sugimori’s original graphic style and vibe from the original game.

The teaser seems to merge Sugimori’s iconic design with Pokemon Legends Arceus gameplay to create something incredibly spectacular, even if it is just a brief footage of the player traveling through Viridian Forest.

I personally would really love to see this become a reality but .. well we all know how Nintendo will treat this in the long run.
