#147 Dratini / #148 Dragonair / #149 Dragonite
Most of the time when people redesign Dragonite, they use Dratini and Dragonair as the starting point, and maybe even make a Dragonite with no limbs. We wanted to do the opposite: redesign them all with limbs.
We took inspiration from bats, added feathers, and used elements from all three to give the line cohesiveness. For example, in how Dragini's winglike ears return for Dragonite and are reflected in its actual wings, or how Dragonair's feathery ears match its fluffy collar, and that gets reflected in Dragonite's collar and tail.

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!
Tumblr media
The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!
The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!
The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!
Tumblr media
And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!
I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!
Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)
#pokemon#pokemon tcg#long post#i have deep affection for bulbasaur as well though and i also love the bulbasaur/ivysaur cards in this set#i SO wish we'd gotten art of the final evolutions in the same style as the pre-evos' standard cards!!#(yes i do love the full art ones but i also love the illustrations on the standard cards!)#from the way the settings in these two were going; i would have imagined blastoise to be set at night (??)#i LOVE pokemon cards. i can't keep up with every set but i started collecting again now and then a few years ago#and 151 has really got me wanting the full set the way i haven't since childhood. SO many beautiful illustrations (but there always are)#it's like having little pieces of art of my favorite characters and it's only.. slightly... less expensive than actually commissioning ....#i KNOW it's less expensive to buy the individuals online but it's so much less fun#part of the fun is having YOUR own pokemon journey ((going to the store)) and seeing what YOU encounter ((when you open the pack))#i do buy them online sometimes but i usually dont form as strong associations with them as when i open a pack in a certain setting or place#i tend to try to save them to open right before a significant event like starting something new or a holiday. so that i form associations#and it's like 'oh that's the galarian obstagoon from when my mom came home for christmas'#and 'that's the snorlax who reassured me when i was hurt'#i don't buy them too often so i've got to make it count#anyway i know i should wait for the prices on this one to come down because it's absolutely ridiculous#i didn't buy anything at release because i was like $6 for one booster pack??? but i couldn't take just sitting and watching them sell out#i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together#i could say stuff like this about literally every pokemon illustration (if i had time to write it out) and sometimes i've wanted to#i just chose these two because these are a couple of my original favorite pokemon and i just couldn't keep it to myself. i LOVE these

#150 Mewtwo / #151 Mew
The main thing we felt was necessary to update these designs was to give them more colours, and more details in Mewtwo's case. When comparing to modern Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Mewtwo and Mew are not bad, just incredibly plain.
We made one addition to the Mew design that felt very fitting to its concept: a caul. A caul or en-caul birth is when a baby is born with a piece of the amnionic sac over its head, or sometimes still completely inside it. This very rare occurrence is associated with good luck and even with supernatural powers in many cultures.
Hence, the caul emphasizes Mew's theme of birth and the Psychic type's supernatural side. It also looks like a space helmet, so it also plays into the Psychic type's space side and the panspermia theory of the origin of life (both on Earth and in the Pokémon world!).
Mew's twisting tails represent the DNA double helix and the mark on its forehead represents a chromosome.
For Mewtwo, we took some inspiration from Mega Mewtwo Y and Deoxys. The tube-like second spine has been extended to connect the top of the head, through the chest and the belly, all the way to the double tails. It was also made to look more skinny and pallid to emphasize that it is a lab-grown experiment. The unspooled helix of the tails is meant to represent gene editing.
