This guy who is Japanese and I can't read anything on the site and none of my Japanese speaking translators are online right now, drew 251 Pokemon in traditional Japanese art style. After looking through all of the pictures, I have to say that I would gladly accept this style over the cute crap that we're used to with Pokemon.
Nintendo, you want to regain some hardcore players? Then change the Pokemon to look like this, include blood and fatalities too. F**k that fainting nonsense. Seriously. You can't pretend that Pikachu's Thunder attack wouldn't turn Squirtle into turtle soup.
Dammit, Nintendo! I want realism when it comes to my games featuring impossible creatures using super powers to battle for their human master's pleasure even though humans are weak and the Pokemon can turn on the humans at any second and not be slaves anymore but they won't because they're stupid.
Stupid Pokemon.

For those interested, there's also an Eevee set (including Leafeon and Glaceon) and, for those acute enough to notice a lack of it, Wobbuffet facing off against Red (player character of the first games & their remakes). (Linked to Danbooru, since Pixiv requires user login to view things.)
Cool stuff.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW??????????????????
My favourites:
1) Tentacruel. The eyeballs remind me of the Spider Queen.
2) The Gastly line. Really sinister and twisted.
3) Mareep. Lovin' the cloud body.
4) Girafarig. This one is just the best.
I shall call it Ôkamon
Damn, this is awesome. Thanks for the link CTZ.
Maybe he won't cut it as a pop idol with that look, but perhaps with an unsigned Swedish death metal band.
