Kanto ImPokédex Wallpaper


The first chapter of the Impostor Minineko Pokédex is complete, and to celebrate my finishing it, this is a compilation of the first 151 species in awesome wallpaper form. In true George Lucas fashion, I added angryeyes to the ones that were final evolutionary forms as of those games.

Because of how many different sizes of desktops there are nowadays, I just uploaded the 1440x900 version that I use. I have much larger ones available, if anyone's interested.

New ImPokédex - Mewtwo

Wrapping up the Kanto ImPokédex today with one of the best Pokémon/worst SSBM characters in Mewtwo, and the first of many tiny flying Pokémon you can't get by conventional means in Mew. You have to feel sorry for Mew - first it gives birth to a psycho five times its size, then it has to spend the rest of its days hiding under a truck.

Old People

When I can't think of anything to draw, I have a few standbys. These include Minineko, Impostor Minineko, bees, and old people.

Gravity Cat Is Not Amused

Do cats still land on their feet in zero gravity?

New ImPokédex - Dratini

A bit of history here - Minineko's name was pretty much taken from Dratini's Japanese name, but with the dragon part replaced with a cat part, so now I guess it's all come full circle now.

No Loreleis were harmed in the making of this ImPokédex entry.

Boxing Day: Third Strike

If Street Fighter III is remembered for anything (pretty big "if"), it should be Dudley.

Johann Sebastian Rock

A few days ago, I readjusted my tablet; I changed the tip of the stylus with a more high-friction one and found out that the proportions of the tablet can be changed to widescreen. This means I can draw things much more excellently, even though I didn't have any ideas as to what to draw. Elroy suggested that I draw "bach rocking out," the reason being "because bach was really into rock."

New ImPokédex - Legendary Birds

Back in Pokémon Blue, Articuno was my favorite of the three birds, but that may have just been because it was the only ice type that wasn't either also a water type or Jynx (plus the craptacular selection of rock type attacks made its biggest weakness a moot point). Usually Moltres looks like a burning chicken, but this time it looks like part of the Impostor Ponyta evolutionary line.

I Can Has Doom Music?

I'm not going to lie, since the signature shows what year it is; this is an older drawing, but it's relevant to my new "artistic interpretations of lolcats" set, and I'm in no mood to draw today.

New ImPokédex - Snorlax

I have a cat that reminds me of Snorlax. She's unmovable when she sleeps, eats twice her weight in food every day, and has a ridiculously high attack stat.

Meteos Was Way Awesome

Meteos was way awesome. It's a Puzzle League clone where the blocks, instead of disappearing, blast into space, the story mode has level progression like Star Fox 64, it has menus and extras just like Super Smash Bros. Melee, and it was created by the guy who made Space Channel 5 - what's not to love about it? I just wish that my DS's touch screen still worked correctly...

I Hope She Made Lots Of Spaghetti

I got an idea yesterday to do a series of drawings of famous lolcats, starting with today's drawing, spaghetti cat. I also wanted to practice drawing spaghetti, as it has roughly the same properties as hair, which I'm not too good at either.

New ImPokédex - Aerodactyl

Pterodactyls supposedly evolved into modern birds. If Aerodactyl was still around to see that it became a Pidgey, it'd probably kill itself anyway.

New ImPokédex - Kabuto

Is Kabutops the missing link between Scyther and Scizor? Think about that one.

New ImPokédex - Omanyte

Omanyte and Kabuto weren't made extinct by a meteor, but rather one really strong grass type that just went berserk on all of them.

Video Game Venn Diagram

As part of BTI's continued effort to make the most useless charts in the history of charts, here's a Venn diagram listing several video games based on very specific criteria. And yes, "Still Alive" is DLC on both Rock Band games, but for the sake of this chart, I'm referring to the Pearl Jam song in RB2.

Jolly Diglett

Another piece from my collection of Pokémon drawings I made a few nights ago while hopped up on green tea and Halloween candy. If Team Magma was the pirate team in Ruby/Sapphire instead of Team Aqua, this would probably be their emblem.

Super Mario Timeline

Before you say anything, yes, I have way too much time on my hands. That being said, I started thinking about the chronological order of the Mario games. It's not quite as definitive as the Zelda timeline, probably because there are just so damn many games to include. I made an first draft of a timeline yesterday, and you can see it after the jump.




  • Yoshi's Story: Bowser I born.
  • Yoshi's Island: Mario and Luigi born.
  • Yoshi's Island 2: Peach, DK, Wario, Daisy, pretty much every other character born.
  • Mario and Luigi Parners in Time: The past part of this game happens somewhere around this point.
  • Punch-Out!!, Wrecking Crew, Alleyway, Golf, Tennis, etc: A lot of time passes, Mario gets a lot of refereeing and blue collar jobs to make ends meet.
  • Donkey Kong '94: During another menial construction job, Mario chases a giant ape through the city, the jungle, and ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom. This game replaces the events of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.
  • Mario Bros.: Mario reunites with Luigi.
  • Super Mario Bros.: Mario rescues Peach from Bowser I.
  • Super Mario 64: Peach invites Mario to her castle to thank him for the rescue.
  • Super Mario Sunshine: To thank Mario for another rescue, Peach takes him on vacation with her. Between this and SM64, Bowser Jr. (Bowser II) born.
  • New Super Mario Bros.: As part of Bowser II's training, Bowser I decides to re-enact the events of Super Mario Bros.
  • Super Mario Land: To thank Mario for yet ANOTHER rescue, Peach gives Mario lordship over a section of land, hereby known as Mario Land. Rescues princess of nearby Sarasa Land.
  • Super Mario Land 2: While distracted by the events of Super Mario Land, Wario takes over Mario Land and its respective castle.
  • Super Mario Galaxy: Bowser I, who is getting old, makes one last grand attempt to take over the universe. Mario meets yet another princess. Mario Land destroyed, and Mario forced to live in a much smaller house.
  • Super Mario RPG: At this point, Bowser I is just going through the motions. With Bowser II grown up and out of the castle, Bowser I passes time by kidnapping Peach, sparring with Mario, but then his castle gets taken by a sword and he must team up with the both of them to protect his legacy. Rumors spread of Mario's jumping abilities in Galaxy; everyone believes he can jump from planet to planet.
  • Super Mario Bros. 2: Following the crazy events of Galaxy and RPG, Mario is forced to ponder the complexities of time, space, and his own existence, and has a messed up dream.
  • Luigi's Mansion: I never played Luigi's Mansion, but apparently there's an appearance by a deceased Bowser that is most likely Bowser I. Bowser II inherits Koopa empire.
  • Super Mario Bros. 3: Between this game and Luigi's Mansion, Bowser II has 7 kids, who are all indoctrinated in the family's "kidnap the princess" business.
  • Super Mario World: Mario decides to finally visit his "birthplace", Yoshi's Island. Bowser II, having never been there either, decides to follow him. Both are completely disappointed by the lack of Shyguys.
  • Mario and Luigi: By this point, Mario is one of the most famous figures in this world; Luigi's doing well enough too. In this game, there's a museum of all the past blocks.
  • Mario and Luigi Parners in Time: This is where the present part of the game is.
  • Sports/Kart games: Using the time machine from Partners in Time, Mario's able to re-unite with all his past friends and foes, including the late Bowser I, all with the purpose of playing soccer, golf, and racing go-karts. A total waste of resources, but Mario's probably a billionaire by this point.
That's right, two Bowsers. That's the only way I could explain how he has 2 different sets of kids without using the ending of Galaxy as a copout. I still have to include Super Princess Peach, the Paper Mario games, and a few others. Let me know if I'm ignoring something that drastically changes the order from how it is above.

UPDATE: It seems New Super Mario Bros. Wii has both Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings in it, thus disproving my timeline. I'm a bit disappointed that I've been proven wrong, but then again it's always nice to see the Koopalings in a new game; I think they haven't been in one since the first Mario and Luigi.

New ImPokédex - Porygon

Porygon, in addition to being the only Pokémon that can be rendered perfectly by an N64, is the only one to break the 4th wall and actually attack people (one of two, if you count that Mewtwo bouncy ball).

Also, if PorygonZ is a glitch that's effectively a part of the Pokédex, how is Missingno not canon yet?

Brock's Problem

Now do you see what I was talking about in the last post?

Kabuto's Mullet

Like I was saying earlier tonight, everything is funnier with a mullet.

New ImPokédex - Eevee

I was not looking forward to this entry, since Eevee can evolve into at least 7 things. Makes you wonder how hard Pokémon researchers work to discover new Eeveelutions - are there people rubbing dirt on Eevees to try to make a ground-type Mudeon?

Purge Laughter

Purge, the bad guy from Space Channel 5 Part 2, has one of the best laughs in the history of video games. Well, I should specify - I'm referring to the Japanese version's laugh. The English one is about as half-hearted as you can expect from a game that cost less than $20 at release.

Two Dreamcasts At Once

A few years ago, I lost the power cable to my Dreamcast, but since EB was selling the console used for $15 at the time, I just bought another one. Today I finally got a new power cable for the other one, which happens to be the same thing as the PS2 power cable (who'd've thunk it). So now I have two fully operational Dreamcasts; I could play Space Channel 5 Parts 1 & 2 at the same time if I wanted!

Resident Evil 5 Demo Will Spike-Axe Your Ass

Upon discovering that I actually could, I downloaded and played the Resident Evil 5 demo as soon as possible, and was repeatedly killed, usually due to one of the most redundant weapons in history - an axe with giant spikes on the blade. Intrigued? You should be. RE5 plays like a very intense RE4: more enemies, face-stomping, explosions that fill a room, and real-time weapon changing. 

That's right, remember in RE4 when the shotgun you were using to futilely fend off a crowd of enemies ran out of ammo, so you took a breather, opened your case, equipped your handgun, and then re-joined the bloodbath? Well forget that, bucko, the infected will still attack you while you're changing weapons, which is usually enough time to get strangled or crushed by, you guessed it, the spike-axe. Even worse, they added an animation for picking up ammo, which is the zombie equivalent of dropping the soap. 

Evil just got real. If you're a fan of RE4, or just killing in general, get yourself a DVD-R or a Japanese XBL account and play the hell out of this demo.

Kikkoman 100

This isn't my 100th drawing, but in my messed up labeling system, it's #100. This one is of Kikkoman, the soy sauce superhero.

New ImPokédex - Ditto

Impostor Ditto can transform into a lot of different things... but with one catch. Find out what it is after the jump.

Here is an example of Impostor Ditto using transform against a more than formidable opponent, Impostor Dragonite.
I know it's hard to tell the original and the duplicate apart, but there are slight differences.

ImPokémon: Orange Islands

Impostor Lapras is very docile, but still freaks everybody out.

E. Homer

So it's seven in the evening, and your drawing blog hasn't been updated yet. What do you do? Draw Homer Simpson dressed like E. Honda doing the Hundred Hand Slap.

FYI, sumo is the greatest fighting style in the world.

Twitter Get

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to get a Twitter. If this is the kind of thing you are interested in seeing, it's at twitter.com/Kyattsuai. Pardon the bees.

New ImPokédex - Lapras

I wouldn't ride across water on a cat that looks like a Lapras*. Even if it could float, it would probably just flop over at random times in the middle of the sea hoping for a belly rub.

*Or is it a Lapras that looks like a cat?

The Five Suits

A drawing of all the playable Super Mario RPG characters, not necessarily to scale.
