Some Red and Green (Blue) sketches!!!
The last one is when Green goes up the mountain to drag Red down from it. Red has become one with it unfortunately. (The red eyes are inspired by pkmn:legends of arceus game with all those alpha pokemon hahaha)

i finished it!! after over a month of on and off work!! my GB/C trading simulator!! trade between copies of RGBY/GSC for trade evolutions, etc, without the need for multiple consoles or setting up an emulator, completely in browser! and most importantly, trading between japanese/korean gen 1/2 games and international ones is possible for the first time without save corruption! this tool fixes it!! i am so excited about this one. it's my biggest coding project so far by a landslide. check it out here!!

Nowhere has Pokemon more clearly represented the two sides of the Legendary Pokemon coin than in Scarlet and Violet's DLC
A) The powerful hero of legend, renowned for strength and skill but nothing altogether godly or magical
B) The mythical beast containing unknown powers often beyond human comprehension and trapped in a mortal body with definable skills
You guys think I'm joking, but these are literally the two defining classes of Legendary since the very beginning, Gens 1 and 2.
Gen 1 had Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, three Pokemon famous for being Strong but not really having any specific ties to anything crazy.
And then they had Mewtwo, a mysterious and terrifying beast made from man's folly, a skilled brawler and psionic force, but definitely not any sort of biblical or deific being, more like a cryptid.
And then in Gen 2, completely opposite to Gen 1, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are these famous land-wide beasts capable of summoning volcanos from the ground and purify waters with a touch, like gods made manifest.
And lastly, the legendary duo for this game, Ho-Oh and Lugia, are immense creatures that blot out the sun, casting massive hurricanes and resting in the deep sea or dispensing everlasting happiness and reviving those who are struck by tragedy, like biblical figures given flesh (and wings).
All I'm trying to say is:
My favorite trend in Pokemon is when they cover both sides of the legendary spectrum, the magical creature beyond a mortal's capabilities and the fantastical warrior performing at the zenith of their phylogeny's capabilities.

another reason why i think leaf would suck at wingmanning. she really was that oblivious this whole time to how much red and green mean to each other. and her idea of green is... sort of less favorable than reds since she doesnt hang out with green as much as red does. so for a long time she is like WHAT does my best friend see in him and feels like screaming and throwing up!?!?!?
she gets better and figures out eventually that ok yeah actually theyre good.
