Pokemon graphic designer shares new phone wallpaper art to celebrate Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Pokemon wallpaper? Don’t mind if I do

I’m a sucker forPokemonwallpaper. Especially when it comes tothe fourth generation, which is frequently underrepresented in many mediums. I mean, you see Dialga and Palkia pop up from time to time, but they aren’t nearly as represented as many other box art legendaries. Now is their time to shine: in chibi form!

This piece comes straight fromJames Turner, a graphic designer that has had a hand in many Pokemon designs through the years. Turner joined Game Freak in 2010, and has had a hand in creatures from Mandibuzz to Sinistea, as well as various bits of the games like map design and cutscenes.

Despite my gripes with the remakes, I’m loving this temporary return to Sinnoh in the collective consciousness. Again, it’s probably the generation I was immersed in the least, as I had a lapsed Pokemon friend group starting atDiamondandPearl, only to find another one in Gen 5.
