Favorite artwork of the Pokémon above

[czl]

i really like browsing through cards on serebii with my friends and I wanted a thread to appreciate them.
Post your favorite card, sprite, or other official artwork for the Pokémon named above and then say one for the next poster : D

Starting with one that has plenty of content: Bulbasaur!

 

[Orchid]

I'm a big fan of this Bulbasaur card by Tomokazu Komiya, from the Expedition base set. His card illustrations always boast such strong, vibrant colors.

(And an honorable mention to this Dream World artwork, because it's just cute.)

How about Pikachu?

 

[FinnTheCookie]

I know theres probably one I like more out there, but I'm not the most familiar with the TCG and I know Pikachu probably has hundreds of cards. But I really like this one, and the other arts of G-max Pikachu. I love the figure this guy came with.

Spoiler: Pee (ᵖᵉᵉ)

Empoleon!

 

[Viridian Beedrill]

Also not the most familiar with the TCG, but I looked up Empoleon's cards and had to go with this one:

Spoiler: YEEEEE-HAAAAAAW!!!!

Banette?

 

[KitkatKK2]

I’m a sucker for the genre of card arts that include Trainers.

Spoiler: oooh

A close second is this particular sprite for Mega Banette. I don’t know where it’s from, but I love the pose and expression. They really communicate the malice behind this Pokemon.

Spoiler

How about Ditto?

 

[Orchid]

Honestly I just really like Ditto's classic Red/Blue sprite. The way it's rendered with a translucent shine is really detailed and pleasing to look at. I've always said it's one of the best Gen 1 sprites.

Espurr?

 

[czl]

This was one of the cards I had in mind when I made this thread, I love all of Kanako Eo’s illustrations and this is one of my favorites of hers. sooooo cute

Spoiler: ✿

Litwick?

 

[Viridian Beedrill]

A hard choice, but...I think maybe this one?

Spoiler: WoooOOOooo...

Honorable mention to this one, though.

Spoiler: Crafty Litwick

Skeledirge?

 

[KitkatKK2]

Does Fire-Type Miku count as Skeledirge art?

Spoiler: i love project voltage

here’s a different one too

Spoiler

Lilligant!

 

[Orchid]

Pokémon Conquest has some really nice spritework, Lilligant is no exception:

Absol?

 

[Ransei]

Honestly just

. It's so good. Absol was never the same after Gen 3.

but

is very far up there too. Mega Absol in general was a great upgrade!


I did a random roll and it pulled out Tornadus.

 

[FinnTheCookie]

Can't say I'm a big Tornadus fan outside of the trio being together, but I took a look on the Archives and this art is genuinely so cool

Spoiler: *wind noises*

Wooloo

 

[Sheep]

Absolutely adorable image from Twilight Wings!

Sylveon

 

[VaatiRulesets]

Sylveon has so many great artwork! In the end I decided to pick the one with Valerie^^

Something I found on Twitter a while ago.

This thread is for appreciation of official artwork from the franchise (i.e. pretty much anything you can find on the Bulbagarden Archives) — not for fanart, unfortunately! (Also, please remember to give proper credit/sources to fanartists when possible )

As for Dragonair, I enjoy the key art from Red/Blue. It's just very pretty and I love how the jewels look here in particular.

Misdreavus?
