Mato’s style is iconic and gives Pokémon and their attacks this sort of flair that really matches the old Game Boy era of Pokémon, but Yamamoto was responsible for some of the hardest panels I’ve ever seen in manga and comics as a whole.
From comparing Mato and Yamamoto, Mato's is distinct in her chibi-cuter proportions on the characters, almost like you're seeing their overworld sprites from the game. It best reflects how lighthearted Pokemon Adventures initially was. Yamamoto's art style is distinct for his more well-proportioned characters that are closer to the Pokemon Anime's art style. It is also worth noting that his art style is more detailed on the human characters, which gives them a more mature look, best cases I can highlight are Whitley and Y who are drawn a bit older than their given age suggests. I believe the reason to his gradual detailed shift was to better reflect how Pokemon Adventures started tackling even more mature themes in later arcs and ''growing'' with its readers.
Glad you're talking about Mato's art style. He chibi art style makes the manga so charming. I'm a huge fan Yamamoto's and Mato's works. They did a great job in bringing the manga to life
i like that you mentioned the ways the eyes are drawn . red is a easy-going and approachable guy, while green (m) is a more serious but hot headed person . so their eye shapes match their personality . even after mato's art started to decline , her composition and paneling were still great also can we talk about how cool pokespe red's design is ? definitely an upgrade from the games
I feel as if Mato's art was legitimately perfect for this era of the manga. the Retro smaller sprites they were the characters are represented by her cuter style, and then to go from GSC-RSE you can literally SEE the transformation as if it was done seamlessly. One of my favorite Mato panels is when Saur evolved into Venusaur on the side of the silph co building and producing a spider web like vine for Blasty and Charizard to stand on, such a sick perspective to play around with.
Mato's art transition to Yamamoto's by volume 9 to 10 was definitely a really big change since both artist had different art styles. I love Mato's for the bold shadings and Yamamoto's for a more dynamic art.
I would definitely be interested in you discussing the panelling and other such for battles. I loved both art styles that came up in Adventures, though I will say the aging was possibly my favourite part - it’s always cool to see he protagonists actually age and have time oass
Nice video! I love Mato's style and how she the eyes, expressions, and poses. The characters look amazing in the manga! I would love to see a video on Satoshi Yamamoto's art style as well as I find it interesting when comparing the art styles from when he started illustrating for Pokemon Adventures to the present day. ^^
I could immediately tell when Yamamoto took over. I thought I was reading a Shonen I had to do a double take on the book itself. But Matos was very unique. It really felt like GEN 1 felt In the games.
Manga has some of the best artwork I have ever seen. Favorite panels Cyrus getting hit by Draco meteor against Cynthia N beating alder Milotic evolving against Archie and Maxie X mega evolving his whole team Lysandre and Malva getting defeated with zygarde
Well I agree the manga does have some great art im only talking about mato in this video and your examples are all yamamotos artwork but still they are great
please do more. this type of video in this format is exactly what i need right now. i’d love for you to examine the style of the first pokémon movie with the legendary japanese philosopher, mewtwo
I have just subscribed to you and binge watched all your videos. Your content is amazing and wholesome, and I'm pretty sure you'll get more views and recognition soon. Keep going bro! Cheers from brazil 🙌
When I first read PokeSpe/Adventures I'll admit, I was really put off by the art style change lol. I've come to appreciate Yamamoto's art a lot more nowadays (especially since he has to illustrate multiple series simultaneously...like wtf) but Mato's art just has this nostalgic childlike charm to it. It makes you feel good by just looking at it lol
@@VeeVolt whin i compair ash to Manga red so many kid ash fan give hate in my coment 😁😁But i Don't care about them 😎😎coz i know red is the strongest dex holders am i right
I think it's really funny You mention one punch man's art style being really important, when that's actually the redraw lol. The mangeka who writes one punch man and mob psycho 100 actually drew both of them as a webcomic originally. He is not the best artist let's just say that lol, but he drew all of it, and then when one punch man got picked up for syndication it was all redrawn. However mob psycho wasn't. I just think it's really funny that you're talking about the importance of a good and detailed art style, and your specifically talking about one punch man. When the original version of One Punch Man literally doesn't have that but still got popular lol
Honestly, the main reason I prefer Mato's art style is her interpretations of the pokemon themselves. Mato draws every pokemon incredibly stylized, with a very clear interpretation of how she thinks they'd look from sprite to panel. With Satoshi Yamamoto, every pokmeon looks super boring, like it was lifted directly from the official artwork; there is no interpretation or dynamic flair, it just comes off as boring to me.
LMAO i always avoided jojo before but i finally gave in after i decided to watch it with a friend and found it pretty enjoyable but my brother still wont watch it due to the art style

But as the story progressed they needed big splash pages Mato probably couldn't deliver
@@MetalMadness_00 yea but that's fine? i wouldn't see how this is a problem

Mato's art style is still my favorite lol- Reading mato's era of pokemon adventures is what made me want to become a manga artist!
it’s nice to see people post about pokespe on yt 😭 i can barely find any content talking about it other then that one arbok panel

I would definitely be interested in you discussing the panelling and other such for battles.

I love mato's 'soft' art

Hey thanks a lot man

Yeah I know exactly what you mean
LOVE THIS VIDEO!! hope to see more videos about Pokespe's artwork!!

Would love to see a video on Yamamoto!
This will always be Pokémon to me
The newer adventures volumes have great art, but it just doesn’t feel the same. It’s hard to live up to kanto-johto arcs imo…
can you do a video about satoshi yamamoto art style (sorry if my english is bad but i am from south america)
I can and I will also your English if fine 😁👍
You should consider videos about the different manga artist’s different manga
Nice review 🎉
We need more pokemon manga explain video sir
Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about them
@@VeeVolt whin i compair ash to Manga red so many kid ash fan give hate in my coment 😁😁But i Don't care about them 😎😎coz i know red is the strongest dex holders am i right
Can we get a video about the current artist 👀
💙
Also Satoshi Yamamoto sounds like the username to a pokemon fan who's mid transition into Bleach lol
It’s not Shonen Jump Manga is called Manga kodomomuke
She draws traditionally right ( ink and paper)

Oh yes that is true I always forget about the webcomic but you’re completely correct
First
One punch man did not originally look like that… ones art style is rough

Interesting! it’s nice to hear people’s opinions on whose artstyle they prefer and why

LMAO i always avoided jojo before but i finally gave in after i decided to watch it with a friend and found it pretty enjoyable but my brother still wont watch it due to the art style
