Lol Celebi looks like a smug Teletubby, good find. But that's more based off the sprite for sure. Celebi's GSC sprite is just so odd to the point most of us thought the pinpoint mouth was a nose. So much so that the Crystal sprite's mouth has moved down a bit more to avoid that.

Hang on. A lot of people thought it was a nose?

GameBoy screens were small, dude. Your little brains had to fill things in. Imagine my shock when the fourth movie came out that Celebi actually didn't have a black nose.

When you squint, you can tell that it's a nose. Maybe I just had better eyesight, I don't know.🤷‍♂️

Possibly, but I was also the dummy who thought Smeargle was a goat and not actually a beagle. I just saw things wrong, I suppose.

Dude, what average person would look at Smeargle and think it's a beagle? First time I laid eyes on it, I thought it was some kind of monkey.

These designs, man.
 
For reference, here's picks of Smeargle, Snoopy (another cartoon beagle) and an actual beagle.

for the record, I always just saw smeargle as smeargle, never really clicked what he was meant to be other than a vaguely animalistic artist. But I think adding in Snoopy helps. Between the two. You can see the tail tip, the ears, the eye markings, the head shape, feet shape, and mouth placement.

This might seem arbitrary, but snoopy was first introduced to Japan in 1968, and Ken Sugimori was born in 1966. There's a hotel dedicated to snoopy in Japan, and the only satellite snoopy museum is the one in Tokyo. It's absolutely possible snoopy is an influence on Smeargle.

When I was a kid, I thought Smeargle was a sock monkey or something. I was the same way, my brain didn't recognize it as a dog.
 
Something I was pondering, if you were to make a game or a movie or a tv show that was intended for an adult audience how would you go about it? Or would you not go about it at all and consider it too autistic to work?

Massive amounts of autism would actually make it remotely entertaining to laugh at.

This is a Pokemon thread, so if I were to make it for Pokemon I'd simply pay someone to design a beach Cynthia sprite and watch the money flow into my Patreon account when I publish them as a preview for a new Pokemon romhack.

There was this Pokemon manga called Pokemon Reburst which I think was supposed to be for an older audience. It was about people transforming into Pokemon, but to them, making a series more mature is adding a lot more fanservice.

Oh and there is a tournament arc.

A new type of pokemon is discovered. It starts displacing the local pokemon which populations are reducing in drastic numbers. introduce team diversity a group whose goal is to spread this new pokemon everywhere despite its detriment to local pokemon because pokemon should have no borders or regions or something. Main story has you fighting team diversity help save the local pokemon from extinction and stop team diversity. Violence gore etc doesnt mean mature so just having a terrorist use electrode to blow up a train station, while shouting arceus willing, might not be mature. I think deep down we all know pokemon is kinda retarded anyway so it being mature will be difficult

Edit: Im gonna expound on this and some of the inherent problems of pokemon. The reason why Im say using electrode in a terrorist attack is not mature because it breaks an invisible rule of pokemon. That rule is that for the most part pokemon are generally harmless towards humans. So harmless in fact that space wielding weather changing super pokemon will join a child to help them become the pokemon champion and nothing somehow goes wrong. If pokemon were to be able to harm humans severely then the entire world of pokemon we are presented with becomes undone. The nature of the world has to change as right now pokemon are just giant friends. they are now monsters with one slip up or moment of rage or command by a trainer can cause chaos. A "Mature" take on a pokemon game would have a little town blown up by a stray hyper beam from a pokemon territory fight. A "Mature" pokemon game would be one mistake away from jurassic park. This leads into another rule, that of the dynamics of pokemon and human relations. This has been touched on in the some the games on how trainers might be abusive towards pokemon for forcing them into pit fights until one can't fight anymore. This has caused that pokemon need to be happy doing this and that they choose to do this or something. Don't worry the pitbull loves fighting the boar. These things need to be true or the innocent pokemon loving pokemon world becomes completely different. So it becomes difficult to implement a mature theme when you have to make sure these laws arent crossed.

The legendaries are easily capable of destroying the world when someone pisses them off or steals an ancient relic. Remember how dumb Team Magma's plan was?

They are but what i'm saying is that you are not presented with pokemon/human violence as common thing. Like you dont encounter a burned corpse because someone mugged someone with their charizard. Or that someone raped a women with a drowzee or that someone was poisoned by a poison type. What I'm saying is that stuff like that isn't explicit in the pokemon world and if it was the entire nature of the pokemon world would change. Furthermore as you said they stole a relic its not like groudon and kyogre one day decided to destroy everything out of hostility. Pokemon for the most part are harmless.
