The cover art of the gameboy pokemon games kicked the most ass.
They got progressively worse.


Gameboy(color):




















Gameboy Advance:

















Nintendo DS

Agreed

[oprototype]

I completely agree. It's because at first the creature sprites were designed to be scarier. Now, it's for little kids, so there are ice cream cone pokemon.

[Optimism]

Its all bad -- what are you talking about?

You have no creativity.
This was demonstrated on MSN earlier.

Keep in mind the game cartridges are getting smaller, too, so they have less space to work with.

You mean, I don't have the creativity of a 5 year old? :]

I was referring to the box art; the cartridges was just an additional point.

[Optimism]

Box art is shit. I could have done better.

[kaos555]

I agree :3

That's just advances in technology. They went from fat battery draining gameboy color cartridges to sd card- like DS cartridges. + graphics and everything is much better. They actually have more space to work with in a more smaller cartridge size.

Agreed @ topic. But not just the covers, but the repetitive plot lines are starting to fall into place while playing the actual games. Shit really started going bad after Pokemon Emerald.

I was talking about the art ON the cartridges.

@ Allie - Yes, then. They just made them look more... epic in the originals, somehow, even compared to the remakes.

How come my FireRed game is different? Mine's not transparent, it's just dark stoneish grey. Maybe that's why it's broken. >_>

[Allie]

They've all been transparent since Pokemon Crystal and up to DS games.

[iwasbobo]

Fire Red and Leaf Green aren't in some cases. The LG in that picture isn't, and my FR is the same way.
