Pokemon Character Designers and What Pokemon they designed/helped design! 

Ken Sugimori is one of the most well known names involved with the art and design of Pokemon, but he was never the only one making them! Pokemon as a whole is a huge collaborative effort, and its fun to see who put what pieces into the the 807+ piece puzzle we have today! Maybe you’ll learn something new about some of your favorite Pokemon?

This is not at all a comprehensive list, there are several more designers that have worked on Pokemon over the years and a majority of Pokemon we simply do not know the original designer of! The Pokemon that we do know the designer of that I haven’t listed here can be found at this source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Altruis/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_their_designers

Bonjour everyone, it’s time for my claim for @aphabriefhistoryoftime! My claim was the German revolution 1848/1849, and instead of focusing solely on the bloodshed that came with it, I wanted to portray Prussia’s personal struggle some more and the hopes projected on him – which he would go on to not just disappoint but crush. So slightly more “abstract” approach that I took here.

The historic background is that in 1848, many German states had their own revolutions, including Prussia, in which the German people demanded a unified Germany. Chiefly among them was Baden which held out the longest with democratic demands alongside the national ones, but others were quite accepting of constitutional monarchy and looked towards Prussia as the leading force of this ‘Germany’. And for a moment it looked as though it could work–

but Prussia went back on concessions made towards its population and brutally beat back revolutions. Baden had to surrender in order to prevent a massacre at the hands of the Prussian military.

Baden’s design (the lady holding back Ludwig) is by @ask-baden, thank you so much as always for letting me use her design for this!
