The Lost Official Pokemon Art that No One Ever Saw

Yeah, yeah more Pokemon, but this is pretty damn cool.

We’ve all seen the typical art that first introduced us to all 151 Pokemon. It’s in this sort of style, and each creature is in a pretty memorable pose that’s been burned into our minds.

But as it turns out, the artist who did all these, Ken Sugimori, actually did an alternate set of all 151 for a rare series of playing cards that the world has seldom seen. Until now that is.

I have a full gallery showing the alternate art for each creature, which is cool because nearly everyone is actually executing one of their signature moves, some even against other Pokemon in the same frame. We have Arbok hurling acid on Diglett, a Paras eating Weedle’s head and poor Psyduck getting rocked by about five different Pokemon. It’s a cool series, and I suggest you check out the full line-up below.

  1. I don’ mind the pokemon either, since most people reading this were avid players back in middle school. However, I think the page title should be “Unreality – Your Online Portal for Movies, TV, Video Games, Pokemon and Unreal Stuff” to be more accurate. Also, that would shut up the people always comlpaining about the quanitity of pokemon material on the site (if it’s in the title, they can’t complain).

  2. Stop bitching each time you post something pokemon related. They are still are awesome and to our generation – nostalgic.

    This post is fantastic. Never seen these artworks before. Love Ditto!

  3. If you don’t know pokemon it might be hard to figure out what’s going on in some of them. but it’s kind of cool how some are actually battling in the cards
