Man, those Pokémon are blocky!

Are you eagerly awaiting the day when Pokémon games are fully polygonal? In a way, I am, and in a way, I'm not.

Regarding the former, for instance, I really like how the folks at Game Freak have incorporated polygonal backdrops into the most recent Pokémon titles. Regarding the latter, though, I'm quite happy with the sprite-based Pocket Monsters themselves.



All that said, I'd be perfectly content if the polygonal Pokémon that are sure to show up in a future installment of the series look anything like Flickr user Filip Johannes Felberg's LEGO-based creations (above).

Those lego pokes look awesome! I don't know if I could handle polygon pokemon :(

My best friend would kill to get those.

She's a walking Poke`dex.

I hear ya, rinns, but you know they're coming eventually. In fact, I bet we'll see them on the 3DS...

Gaelach Rose: Who knows, maybe she could contact the guy who made them and buy them from him.

Regardless, they're awfully cool/cute, IMO :)

Adorable.

You probably especially like the Trubbish, don't you Justin?

I've become quite fond of him myself, by the way. I also like his evolution quite a bit :)

Viewtiful_Justin said...

I DO! Really? You like his evolved form? I think it's kind of disgusting...less cute than the first form, but...still different enough for me to really like him.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Oh, yeah, the evolved form is disgusting -- it kind of reminds me of Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs -- but I like it anyway :) Trubbish is better, though.
