Wait wut, Arita did these? Mmmmmm. I’m not judging by any means because from this style until the end of the HGSS era (sneakily adding my opinion that this time was Gen 4’s jewel in the crown that I want these remakes to achieve the same grand look) really seemed like Himeno however that style already left her long ago unfourntately. Thank you for sharing, Arita never ceases to amaze. So many overlooked gems in his catalog.
Also nice user theme @xileets! Such an underappreciated line and to some of us the gateway into literally taking interest into Pokémon in itself before knowing anything about it.
