That just screams class.
It's often hard for me to show off all of my videogame kit to the norms. People in my peer group either get it or they don't, but it's still awkward at times. Especially in the face of something so clearly built with children in mind.
These minimalist wallpapers from Pokémon fan site PLDH.net are something I could show off a little more proudly. Even if I don't cop to them being pocket monsters they're still cool designs. There are 104 of them available, with promises that more will be added frequently.
If they managed to get all 493 critters portrayed in this way, it would be nothing short of amazing. Odds against that are pretty high, I'd wager. Even if it never makes it past these first 104, there's some quality work right here.
Which is your favorite?

Even though hers is shitty.
I want a slowpoke one... Maybe psyduck too but they haven't done that yet either.
They do look good though... (Thanks)
Damn, Haunter is awesome.
Also, NEEDZ MOAR MUDKIPS.

Umbreon and Absol(ja boy) look amazing and are probably my faves.
Dude, there IS a Pikachu. Second row from the top, third from the right.
Blastoise, Charizard, Arcanine, Haunter, Eevee-lutions, and Mewtwo are the hotness.
But then again, I'm a first-gen Pokemon kind of guy.
Pikachu wasn't up when JoshuaB posted. I made it earlier tonight (last night? It's 1:30 am here so I dunno)
I keep a changelog with times at http://pldh.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5005
Download Webshots. It cycles your wallpaper every hour (or 15 minutes, what you want). It's free as well.
I pretty much like them all, but my favorites are Bulbasaur, Gastly and (the) Eevee(lutions). Great job
*starts waiting patiently for the Legendary Birds, because they are going to be sweet*
I am disappoint
