Pokemon cutscenes are a rare breed. Now many existed in the older gens.

As far as GBA and DS cutscenes go these aren’t that far out there tbh

Bcs it was event exclusive, I have never seen the Arceus cutscene before. It almost feels edited. So different, so unique.

That emerald cutscene had my heart beating like a mf at 9 years old, one of my all time favorite pokemon experiences for sure

I never saw the Arceus event as a kid. But if I had, it probably would have scared the shit out of me.

Giratinas appearence in platinum tho.
Like damn.

That GBA cutscene is amazing and pushes the hardware to its limits
That DS one is low res JPEGs that completely insult what the system is capable of. Would’ve been much better off making this meme with the Distortion World cutscene from Platinum, or literally anything else from gen 5

For comparison, in Gen 7 they couldn’t animate a gate opening, so when you open a gate in Hau’oli city the screen awkwardly fades to black while your character is teleported to the other side.

remember when the series “upgraded” to 3D?

Looks a lot better then nowadays in my opinion

Lmfao I love the unexpected ace combat OST. Two biggest series from my childhood tbh

R/S/E walked so HG/SS could run.

Is the Arceus one suppose to be good?
agent_whorange
Now I already love Agnus Dei but mixing it with Gotye works better than expected. Impressive

imagine meeting god in an ancient ruin, where he gives you visions of a dimension beyond your comprehension, and then he gives you a dragon egg

Am I wrong in saying these aren’t that amazing? I mean, from a technical standpoint anyway. I could be off, but these just seem like a bunch of pixel art and moving sprites. Not exactly mind-blowing to see these produced on the hardware they were on.
However, yes. The art and direction for these scenes are very strong.

Bro showed every IRL pics in the world to give u an Egg based Arsus 💀

I also loved the cutscene of reshiram’s awakening in black. Cutscenes like that just really underline the legendary status of a pokemon.
I really wanted to see the rayquaza scene in Oras lol. Delta scene was pretty good though

Rayquaza scene – custom pixel art specifically for the cutscene
HGSS Arceus scene – custom pixel art and **J P E G s**

Hey now, don’t be too harsh on them, they’re just a small indie developer.

Bros reaction time was a bit slow after Arceus summoned and rearranged the whole fucking universe
IlIlllIlllIlIIllI
Damn they really figured out how to tell you that Arceus is god
FertilityFapper
Still think it’s crazy what gen 5 did on the ds the pinnacle of the spritework
Bolt_Fantasticated
The cutscene in Black 2 where the bad guys freeze an entire town with a freeze laser aboard a giant airship. That seen always stuck to me.
throwawaybyefelicia
That Arceus cutscene was like a biblically accurate PowerPoint or something, creeped me out so much when I was younger haha
JackOLoser
The DS could do some really impressive things graphically speaking. Look at the sprite work in the DS remakes of the Dragon Quest games. The phase-changing with Psaro in IV is crazy.

Emerald is goat

I was one of the lucky few who somehow had an Arceus and got to see this cut scene. You can tell this was someone’s special project because something such a small percentage of players would see surely wouldn’t be worth all that effort.
