Who has that 4chan screenshot of Pokemon over the years where it shows it the series going from light-skinned characters made with love to amateur-looking character design with a multi-color cast? I'd share it I had it. The art looks soulless now and I'm not even talking about skin color.
It's amazing how much better they look before the art style "diversified". They actually look like real people instead of hipsters in Greenwich Village.
That pretty much captures it. Thanks for sharing! The one I saw was very similar, but had additional translated comments from Japanese people on 2chan complaining about the new art style. The Japanese are just as tired of this shit as we are.
Obviously I'm not giving an excuse to what Nintendo has been doing these past few years but it's very much an industry wide thing. The bastards are all doing it, I think one of the reasons they have such a hard on for the 'diversity' art is it enables them to be lazy which unsurprisingly people pick up on and stop buying their games as a result. The probably think they can ride the ESG money hard and not have to work anymore but they underestimate just how unpopular all this crap is and as a result we now have the hilarious layoffs happening because even the normies aren't buying it.
I mean everyone knows this about leftists but it is surprising how little knowledge they have about how businesses are run. Of course the businesses are going to axe employees to save themselves, especially ones that give as little of a shit about anyone below as virtue signalling executives. It's going to happen to Nintendo eventually because they're going the generic corporate slop route as well, I've honestly not been even vaguely impressed by a lot of the stuff they've put out lately no matter how much fanboing is done over their brand.

The two on the bottom left of the upper image look like they're having an allergic reaction to something.
