Ohmura still calls himself a freelance illustrator and according to his twitter >worked at Gamefreak 2005-2016
Also you don’t have to be a GF employee to design characters for them. The Land of the Lustrous mangaka designed the main villain and she’s not an employee there.
trevenant is the only legitimately good design on that image. everything else is wildly overdesigned shit (aside from 1st evos which are simple by default)
I really like Centiskorch and Greninja
Poipole is the only decent thing Turner ever made, the rest are all some of the worst in the franchise
Poipole is the most disgusting overdesigned toonshit of nu-pokemon
It's even worse than the worst digimon baby designs
>left gf
>still designs mons
uh? ohmura designed marnie too

>left in 2016
>Greninja blueballed since 2016 despite being the most popular pokemon in the world
makes you think
So he still works with them. Not the same case for Turner.
Turner left recently, we don’t know anything about whether he’s contributed to SV or not
the person who made practically all of Pokemon's mascots also left GF and also still designs mons to this day
Turner overuses the Charlie Brown eyes
trevenant is the only legitimately good design on that image. everything else is wildly overdesigned shit (aside from 1st evos which are simple by default)
left almost entirely terrible, right almost entirely good
who is the artist in sv?
omhura did the good eelektros line, but turner did multiple good designs (mandibuzz, trevenant, golurk & centiskorch lines)
god gen 5 really is the best gen by far
back to discord
you first troony
>Golurk, Trevenant, Buzzwole
Hat trick of designing the most based pokemon in the gen
If we're talking legacy obviously Ohmura because Greninja and Piplup are infinitely more popular than everything else on either list.
>Ohmura made the non-mascot face of the franchise
>Turner didn’t
Why is this even a question?
popular =/= good, usually it equals a generic shillmon
this thread is about legacy, not quality
How was the art direction for their games?
Good riddance to both
Gen 9 will be atrocious without the big names.
Turner has alot of great designs but Ohmura gave us cyan fortune cookie. Damn I can't decide
>Turner has alot of great designs
no he doesn't
East > West.
drop your ratings
>disliking michael jackson badger
>michael jackson
is this bait?
Goon isn't based on MJ?
No why would you think that?
Because it's black or white?

>liking either of the bears
Abominably awful taste
Good tast....
>Samurott slander but likes the pre-evos
Frick you
alright here ya go
>disliking piplup
Kys
>nobody talks about ohmura
>James Turner living rent free in anons’ heads 24/7
I know who left a greater legacy with vp
yeah, ohmura
people not complaining = you did a good job
especially since he made greninja, the most popular pokemon in the world
also made piplup, #3 in sold merchandise , only behind pikachu and eevee
Eelektross design looks decent for the one generation untill it TPC went 3d and basically maimed him
Piplup, Greninja, Golurk, and the Vanilluxe line are good, rest are mid to low tier
>Piplup, Greninja, Golurk, and the Vanilluxe line are good
Forgot Phantump & Trevenant
Oops, also forgot Golurk, Vulgina, Guzzlord, Buzzwole, Poipole, Naganadel, and Centiskorch
>Vulgina is the Japanese name for Mandibuzz
You learn something new every day
>Golurk
I said Golurk, but the rest are mid :^)
turner did a decent job with centiscorch, trevenant and the galarian zigzagoon line, but that's it. I like all of Ohmura's designs.
