Pokémon sprites, art evolve over the years, Part 2: Difference between revisions

"Of more interest than the shiny hair is the official artwork: In [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]] art, Jynx's face was originally black and was later re-inked to a ''very'' dark purple (much darker than in the localized games) in [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]]. Though they were always black in the games (once again, it was presumably due to technical limitations), in the [[bp:Ken Sugimori|Ken Sugimori]] art, Jynx's hands were distinctly blue! That actually seems to support the ice-princess theory [[bp:User:Dogasu|Dogasu]] is fond of but which is unfortunately unreferenced. And with the slightly bulbous, whitish fingertips, they looked not entirely unlike {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s hands. Yes, some other artwork, including the anime, made this ambiguous by using very dark blue, gray or black for its hands; however, the anime also colored her forearms red instead of white. In the [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] sprites and artwork, however, her hands were re-colored bright purple to match her face (and {{p|Smoochum}}), the bulbous fingertips were discarded and the exaggerated shoulders which ''also'' linked her to Mr. Mime were covered by her hair (perhaps because Mr. Mime can now be female and no longer needs a feminine counterpart)."
