sometimes i think about how for the longest time the only remnant of this mew sprite on the internet was this crusty VHS footage of a spaceworld '97 commercial until the spaceworld 97 demo leak... it's also some of the closest imagery we have of the fabled mew machines.
it's amazing how much this sprite ended up changing before release too. i do kind of miss his big dorky feet
my thoughts on dragonite: imagine if you had a little dratini that you carried around and hugged a lot and it hugged you back by wrapping around you and squeezing you gently and then it evolved into dragonair, a little bit harder to carry around but you still do of course and it still hugs you back by wrapping itself around you and its bigger now so it squeezes much more gently and then!!!!!!! your dragonair evolves into dragonite and the first thing it does is hug you with its arms and its so happy!!!!!! the sheer joy!!!!! and then it does that forever!!!!!!! you walk around everyday with your dragonite shuffling behind you because you have given it so much hugs and now it can do the same!!!!!!!! thank you for coming to my dragonite ted talk i love dragonite so much top 10 most huggable pokemon ever <3333333
SOOO TRUE i want nothing more than to be able to hug these beasts
