(comment) An illustration used in Carddass for the Pokemon Skills Encyclopedia released by Bandai in 1997, and Yadoran's "Dowasure". First, I would like to highlight two points that are worth noting. One is the white circle on the sole of the foot. This is a design that does not exist in the current official setting, and the same feature can be seen in the illustration of Jumbo Carddass, which was released by Bandai before Kimewaza Carddass. Before that, the soles of the feet were not shown, so I think it was created in the process of solidifying the setting. The other is a manufacturer of watercolor paper. The watercolor paper on which the Jadran is drawn has a watermark from the French paper company Canson. Some fans may be struck by the name, but the illustrations of Mew exhibited at the British Museum's Manga Exhibition in 2019 were also made on the same Canson watercolor paper (however, this time, Yadoran was Canson Mi-Teintes, and Mew was Canson Fine Face). Many people still feel nostalgic for the smudged watercolors used before digital drawings, and it is a style that symbolizes Pokemon art in the 90s. Additionally, the comic notes on the illustrations are reminiscent of the career of Ken Sugimori, who was also a manga artist. It brings back vivid memories of the days of analog drawing, which captivated children all over the world. (Yamaya)
