I like how the AI knows to make them look like puppets or costumes instead of real creatures. Make the 80s movie aesthetic more authentic

I love how the AI's interpretation of Pokemon ranges from "fairly accurate depiction" to "not accurate but still an interesting take" to "eldritch horror that is forever burned into my nightmares".

1:17 The fact that Beedrill has actual drill bits for hands is hilarious to me.

I like how Gastly looks far *less* threatening than the actual pokémon does... and then you have its evolutions.

I like how they're consistent enough that they all look like they could've been from the same film.

These "as 80s so 'n so" - videos feel like a fever dream.

"Wow, it even got that magnemite was a synthetic/robotic sort of Pokemon! How impressive!" Tangela: *Made of shag carpet*

Im astonished that this actually looks like a show I would adore, despite being entirely AI generated. Some of the designs, like Alakazam, Gengar and Mewtwo look super imposing, while others look derpy and cute. Perhaps it is that medieval feel with the armors and locations, mixed with the puppet look. Feels as if a group of kids were transported into a different dimension, forced to wander this strange ancient, yet technologically advanced world.

This is phenomenal 5:27 Alakazam looks like he could have his own entire show

03:35 Happy little Oddish -> Gloom has seen some s**t -> Vileplume has seen the Void

The A.I must have recognized one of it’s own, it nailed the look of Porygon

5:15-5:28 The Abra line's magnificent! Can't play the game without it for more than 2 decades.

11:21 I love how acurrated is Flareon

It all looks like concept art or prototype puppets for a Pokémon 90’s film that we never got…

MissingNo was a real treat. It's like the Nothing from Never Ending Story in a way.

Most of them look like nightmare fuel, especially when you consider the AI can't quite figure out fingers. However, Alakazam looks badass.

Somehow Mr mime has become even more horrifying

I don't know if I'm glad this wasn't the aesthetic of the Detective Pikachu movie, or disappointed. (Sees Clefable), Yeah, this uh...can stay in its own universe.

Some of them look straight out of Labyrinth or Dark Crystal or other practical effect movies from the 80s which is pretty spot on

I DON'T THINK NINTENDO WOULD LET THIS MOVIE EXIST, BUT I WANT TO SEE IT!!!

If Jim Henson made a Pokemon movie.

All kidding aside, the diglett being a rock mole that scoots on the ground to make the dirt around it is ingenious to keep up with the hidden legs issue

To me this feels like if Pokemon mystery dungeon was an 80s fantasy film because most of the Pokemon here are wearing armor and that just sounds cool

*(Don Lafontaine):* _"In a world filled with incredible creatures, one young Trainer starts an adventure that'll last a lifetime"._ *Pokemon: Battles and Peril in the Adventurous Realms.* Directed by Jim Henson.

Kadabra looks like a villain plotting to take over the world and Alakazam looks like the villain who succeeded.

When can we expect all 151 pokemon as an 80s family sitcom?

10:25 You just made my fave Gen 1 Pokemon even cooler.

08:20 Voltorb looks just amazing! WTH!😳

4:12 Diglett the potatoe pokemon I think the response to a lot of these would be, it's on my leg, ah ah get it off get it off (shakes leg)

That Butterfree is nightmare fuel.

3:15 It reminds me a lot to his counterpart in the Detective Pikachu film xd

Since it's AI generated it means there's no copyright to it and as such, those designs are free for the taking, people.

"Okay okay, metapods not bad...how's butterfWHAT THE FU-

I’m already in love with how tiny Venusaur looks 🥺💀

I love how Alakazam Looks SO MUCH oh my god it’s so pretty

I like how nearly all the birds are just dyed harpy eagles

2:05 Detective Pikachu but it's Masters of the Universe, or Mad Max

Everyones talking about the Abra Line, but the Geodude line is a fantastic interpretation! I love how it made Gravelers slightly mossy!

These AI videos never fail to entertain. They pics either look spot on and amazing or just funny.

Meowth is adorable, Flareon is perfect, and Gengar somehow captures the essence while looking very different.

The wartortle looks like a gremlin but its exactly how these Pokémon would look like if they were 80s design

Alakazam, Haunter, Executor and Electrobuzz go hard for no reason and I love it!

Mew and Mewtwo look phenomenal

Some of these look amazing. But some just are straight up nightmare fuel.

The Pokémon movie we deserved.

Man, this is awesome. Some studio should take all these designs and add up films in the style that take themselves too. Seriously it’s all about how you do. It fans would love this, and it would generate fans of its own just over the years to come.

My heart fucking melted at charmander, rattata, nidorina, nidoran male, clefairy, vulpix, wigglytuff, vileplume, psyduck, mankey, seel, dewgong, ghastly, eevee, flareon, dratini, dragonite, and mew. Freaking LOVE Alakazam, Electabuzz, Hypno, Mewtwo and the Legendary Birds' designs (Moltres actually looks MOLTEN). And the other two ghosts are so perfectly terrifying. Also Victreebel looks like it's in the middle of eating another pokemon. D:

would be nice if they revisited the 80s style movies like this ..shit would seem much more realistic then todays movies

Honestly some of these make really good concept ideas to try and branch and sketch from

Koffing with smoke bombs was really clever and Pinser with a stomach pattern to look like teeth is honestly genius.

Someone should make a romhack with these designs

5:29 somebody has to commission that and make that costume a reality!

I Just LOVE how the air tries to give everything some form of clothes feels real 80s

@3:40 -- Man, Gloom has seen some things!

i remember when i first found my dads collection of Gotta Catch ‘Em All VHS tapes from the 80s. we ended up watching through all of them in the coming weeks while he told me all these facts about the show. how most of the monsters were animatronics and some had to be done with CGI which was pretty impressive for the time. how the decoration on Arboks forehead ended up falling off after production and my dad managed to buy it on ebay for 40 dollars (he still has it with his tapes). man does this video bring back nostalgic memories 💕

you run into Exeggutor in a dark alley. you turn around to run away terrified when you come face to face with haunter blocking the only escape. fade to black

"Mom I wanna see Shrek." "No sweety we have Shrek at home." Shrek at home: 8:00

Zubat looking like a dragon quest boss was not expected Hypno looks like a mad scientist that specializes in archmagic and alchemy Magmar has rathalos vibes And Rhydon is basocally what blastoise should have gotten

Man, I would give anything for this to be a real movie.

When I saw the thumbnail I had no idea it would be alakazam. Great job!

6:47 Dude, friggin Magnemite!

Now I wanna see Gen 2 Pokemon. Houndoom is my favorite!

The manufacture of nostalgia cannot be stopped.

Alakazam, Scyther and Dragonair are my favorites by far

It seems that the TV channels of the future will be as grand as in the 90s high 999. Any image with this texture is cool.

Detective pikachu 2 lookin wild

I think it's safe to say that Jigglypuff is the one that looks the most spot-on compared to its original design.

This may be the best use of AI art I've seen lol

I can totally picture this as an actual film if Pokemon came out in the 80s and was given a tie-in movie. The ones where the director has almost no clue what Pokemon even is, but it was on TV once and it’s super popular so it’s gotta be made into a film! Ash, Misty and Brock are played by actual kids/preteens and they get transported into the world of Pokemon, except they can all talk and sometimes the mouth movements don’t line up with the voices because of the prosthetics, and much of the names are pronounced incorrectly. In fact it’d basically be a film very loosely inspired by Pokemon than a proper adaptation, but it makes a ton of money anyway.

Wow, out of all the MidJourney AI Dark Fantasy Generated pokemon I've seen these actually look amazing!

Insect types, Charmander and all his evolutions, and pidgeoto looks amazing.

That Exeggutor though

This is amazing please make a part 2!

Pikachu and Meowth are so darn cute!

5:26 Alakazam kicks ass

This really makes me wanna see a Jim Henson Pokemon movie.

They actually made Magmar cool And Not only that, but actually better looking than Chamander's whole chain

These look disturbing but cool, will you continue with gen 2 (and the other generations later)?

Butterfree nightmare fuel. Beedrill looks cute

If this was an actual movie, it would be my favorite movie

Ah, yes, my favourite ones are: Spearrow, Paris, Seal, Taurus, Crabby, Ghastly and Drowsy

These give me a lot of Jim Henson, Ray Harryhausen vibe or like the cantina in a New Hope

I would actually be interested in a dark fantasy pokemon movie. Detective Pikachu capture the dangerous life of pokemon but the design are still adorable.

Golem looks fricking BADASS. And Magnemite and Magneton look like something out of Ratchet and Clank😂😁.

You gotta do all generations now!

Thumbs up for that kickass synth track!

This is some S tier nightmare fuel! Love it!

I love the Squirtle-Blastoise set. They were my first starters and they look amazing.

I like how the pidgey line all look basically the same but they have different colour feathers on their heads to match the games.

Jesus some of these are SCARY others were spot on!

I'd definitely not leave my house without pokemon, so it all makes sense

Legit impressive amount of effort you put in here, amigo!

This made me realize the Nido line is actually just pretty cool as Pokémon in general.

Merci pour la découverte de Karl Casey, j'adore la synthwave

I love the ones that are just “I’ve seen shit” thousand yard stares

Shangn.stung: Machamp I have chosen you to compete next.

This is actually pretty awesome!

i love that you included misingno. in there

10:16 always thought he like a dragon 10:25 always thought he like a feline

I absolutely love this so much! Keep em coming.
