I really enjoy making stuff for you guys. If you want to post some ideas maybe I'll give them a go.

[–]Acolyte666 373 points374 points ago

How about a full length 3D animated Pokemon film, directed by Chris Nolan.

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 397 points398 points ago

I'm gonna have to put that in the 'maybe' pile.

[–]Acolyte666 258 points259 points ago

OP didn't deliver. surprise surprise.

[–]-jellybeans- 64 points65 points ago

Give him more than 30 mins, I have faith

[–]MrLaughter 60 points61 points ago

we'll have to get Bill to reconstruct you out of a fossil when OP does deliver

[–]Schroedingers_gif 17 points18 points ago

Thread's over, we can all go home.

[–]GreenFox1505 4 points5 points ago

LOL! you two made my morning!

[–]spareanygp 2 points3 points ago

i can't actually hit the reply button in the main thread so i guess the thread is nearly forced to be over anyway

[–]white_star_32 6 points7 points ago

Thank you to all involved

[–]dgiangiulio228 12 points13 points ago

Just for a moment imagine if op did deliver... bricks would be shat.

[–]Dextick 29 points30 points ago

Have Liam Neeson play the voice of Ash, and pikachu will be taken, then you'll have a hit.

[–]Smugjester 15 points16 points ago

Team rocket could be the kidnappers..

[–]MrLaughter 17 points18 points ago

"I will battle you across the land, search for you far and wide"

[–]sprinklzteh 9 points10 points ago

I will stab you in the chest, with the anger thats insiiiiddeee

[–]OrysBaratheon 2 points3 points ago

Christopher Nolan hates 3D though.

“The question of 3-D is a very straightforward one,” Nolan said in a recent interview. “I never meet anybody who actually likes the format, and it’s always a source of great concern to me when you’re charging a higher price for something that nobody seems to really say they have any great love for."

sauce

[–]Acolyte666 0 points1 point ago

Woah, everyone likes 3-D animated stuff. He was talking about 3-D live action.

[–]CoolybutnotFooly 2 points3 points ago

And Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

[–]locksleyrox 32 points33 points ago

hi could you please make a slower version? i would love to see it in all of its detail!

[–]Doompuppy 14 points15 points ago

I couldn't agree more! I watched it for about three minutes to see each wave!

[–]MrLaughter 6 points7 points ago

with the lengendaries changing too

[–]PeFoHe 4 points5 points ago

I tried.

[–]lasermancer 1 point2 points ago

Just open an animated gif in Gimp and each frame is a new layer.

http://i.imgur.com/bkkvy.jpg

[–]Whaitiri 58 points59 points ago

http://imgur.com/N13Dh if you did suggestive raising eyebrow gif with this gengar i would be the happiest man on earth

[–]laim1991 123 points124 points ago

http://imgur.com/pWRJY

[–]BonitaPersona 20 points21 points ago

Suggestive eyebrow raising conspicuous and high gengar.

The time will come when this'll be the RIGHT reaction picture to answer with!

[–]Whaitiri 4 points5 points ago

I'm really sick of this discrimination against Gengar. He's not HIGH. His eyes are always red. And he's using 'Mean Look'.

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 20 points21 points ago

This guy's got my back.

[–]RapeSosage 17 points18 points ago

Find the episode where squirtle joins ash's party. get the scene where squirtle takes off his glasses and reverse it. then add some kick ass caption

[–]GaZZuM 15 points16 points ago

..."Deal with it"?

[–]RapeSosage 9 points10 points ago

pretty much

[–]bnAdvari 6 points7 points ago

squirtle gangnam style

[–]Colonel_Mistard 8 points9 points ago

only one suggestion, slow it dow so we can see all of the changes in detail. Anyway cool gif

[–]ShakeNBakey 17 points18 points ago

If you're still taking ideas...ANYTHING WITH WOBBUFFETT!

[–]Derris-Kharlan 22 points23 points ago

That's not really an idea

[–]Charijizzard 5 points6 points ago

That picture was amazing.. and you turned it too something words cannot describe... Real nice work

[–]ObsidianOrangutan 4 points5 points ago

One of the player character walking along a road with them and the background changing between the generations.

Or something with Pandas

[–]MollyRocket 3 points4 points ago

Eeveelution? Or a quick, few move fight between two pokemon (or something)

[–]Justicles13 5 points6 points ago

You should xpost this to /r/woahdude ... Those guys will love this to death.

[–]aspelund 2 points3 points ago

Any animation where a fungus says "Hi Ebbe" in a speech bubble would be highly appreciated!

[–]CanaMcPain 2 points3 points ago

Could you make one again a bit slower so I can see the change if you have time?

[–]fiction8 2 points3 points ago

Can you slow it down? It's way too fast to appreciate each gen right now.

[–]yoshijaz 1 point2 points ago

I think someone already said this, but maybe a slower version?

[–]rqaa3721 1 point2 points ago

How about putting Articuno in this gif?

[–]XafterX 0 points1 point ago

how about an espeon using psychic?

[–]Xephyron 0 points1 point ago

How about Porygon-Z using Trick Room?

[–]Switchsquatch 131 points132 points ago

Should have changed their sprites.

[–]philycheezestake 59 points60 points ago

Yea, that was the first thing I thought when I saw it. Second thing was "Holy fuck this is Awesome!"

[–]the_dayman 26 points27 points ago

Yeah, the Lapras should be turning into a seal-like blob.

[–]A_Wild_Missingno 1 point2 points ago

I prefer 7up

[–]PsychoJohnny 72 points73 points ago

Because fuck you, Articuno!

[–]saltiepretzel 35 points36 points ago

Clearly Lapras>Articuno

[–]PopularPKMN 12 points13 points ago

Thunderbolt on Lapras = dead Articuno

[–]Revonex 14 points15 points ago

Fantastic. I was actually really hoping to see something like this. Thanks.

[–]ninjaguineapig 43 points44 points ago

Could you slow it down a bit?

[–]Alexander_D 111 points112 points ago

Speed is relative when time is flowing in every direction.

[–]bruik1 11 points12 points ago

Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey

[–]Shpegg 1 point2 points ago

I am now going to use this as my answer for any time related questions

[–]Cygnus_X1 36 points37 points ago

I decreased the speed. I couldn't improve the quality because OP knows his gifs and removed unnecessary frames.

http://imgur.com/hOOKN

[–]WrightJustice 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, the original was way too fast.

[–]magsimus 9 points10 points ago

i was trying to focus so hard on the original pictures and watch the differences! this is awesome =]

[–]KirbyFTW 6 points7 points ago

Its like a rave

[–]Coffinfeeder 3 points4 points ago

The best kind of rave!

[–]Crabhand 6 points7 points ago

This town is being ripped a new asshole in time. It looks amazing.

[–]Ozlin 3 points4 points ago

Can you imagine witnessing your family change in levels of pixel art? "Ahhh! What is happening to meee?!"

[–]yaminese 12 points13 points ago

And I thought the original image was great.. this is awesome!

[–]Xiaomao2063 4 points5 points ago

That would actually be really cool easter egg sort of thing that if you use roar of time in-game during a battle, it would change the world to a previous version of the game. Cool concept :)

[–]BetweenTwoWords 11 points12 points ago

I feel like this needs a dubstep soundtrack to go along with it.

[–]TommyNook 20 points21 points ago

here

[–]theworkhodge 6 points7 points ago

That is perfect!

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 4 points5 points ago

lol

[–]BetweenTwoWords 0 points1 point ago

HAHA! man so good, what makes it better, is Dialga just bobbing along to the song XD

[–]Bonesaw7 8 points9 points ago

If you saw the Surf move through time, it would be cool to see Fly throughout the generations.

[–]GeneralSlave 1 point2 points ago

Nice little detail on the glowing eyes on Dialga.

[–]System_Liekz 3 points4 points ago

I really like it, but its too fast for me :(

[–]millapixel 3 points4 points ago

It would be even more awesome if the pokemon sprites changed to their older versions too! It still looks really cool though, well done. :D

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 3 points4 points ago

What it came down to is it was just more work than I wanted to put into it.

[–]millapixel 0 points1 point ago

That's fair enough.

[–]bodygripper 0 points1 point ago

I was about to say this, but I figured someone else probably had. It's really cool, but that'd be especially great.

[–]synapticimpact 3 points4 points ago

Awesome HAHA

[–]winesti 5 points6 points ago

Nice.

Except changing the colors slightly on the other three sprites and then to black and white is not the same thing.

[–]thetoethumb 2 points3 points ago

I think that's the most well-placed upvote I've ever given. Incredible work.

[–]Reason-and-rhyme 2 points3 points ago

Is there a counterpart for Spacial Rend?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 2 points3 points ago

There could be, Im not actually sure what it should look like. I'll think about it.

[–]Meloetta 0 points1 point ago

I would guess something where one town would be torn apart, replaced with another, etc.

[–]Reason-and-rhyme 0 points1 point ago

Imagine this: Palkia slashes, and then the screen sort of splits into two halves which slide alongside each other like tectonic plates. Also, random colour and visual distortion.

[–]Gwuc 3 points4 points ago

The best pokemon gif I've ever seen

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 26 points27 points ago

Have you seen my other gifs? http://imgur.com/6Cnmf (pretty cool) http://imgur.com/5yTqg (not that cool)

[–]Overlord-Brian 1 point2 points ago

Oh shit, I remember you now, I was wondering why I had you tagged as Fucking Epic Guy.

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 1 point2 points ago

:D

[–]Gwuc 0 points1 point ago

Hehe thanks man these are really cool, I suggest you make one where you jump on a gyarados or something and surf on it!

[–]friedchocolate 0 points1 point ago

this. where is this? palette town? blue/crystal/firered/soul silver?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 20 points21 points ago

Yeah I guess it's a mix of different towns. Some of it's just made up. I know reddit pays attention to detail but I hope everyone's ok with what ive got here. It's biased off another image that I didnt make. http://cheezburger.com/6649308416

[–]friedchocolate 3 points4 points ago

well regardless, fantastic!

[–]boredomisbliss 0 points1 point ago

Is there a hi-res version of this anywhere?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 1 point2 points ago

Not that I'm aware of.

[–]yaminese 1 point2 points ago

It's not in any game.

[–]saltiepretzel 1 point2 points ago

This is really cool! I can't stop watching it.

[–]Rubix89 1 point2 points ago

Jesus Dialga, why you hollerin' ?

[–]paulisaboy 0 points1 point ago

Wow. This is WAY too good!

[–]Cueball61 0 points1 point ago

There's something very hypnotic about this...

[–]KingPorky 0 points1 point ago

Haha, this is fucking badass.

[–]red_280 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty fucking rad :D

[–]Abcmsaj 1 point2 points ago

I love that he's dancing!

[–]cheddarz 0 points1 point ago

That's some crazy Pokémon voodoo shit right there.

[–]Round_the_twist 0 points1 point ago

The third pulse looks the best

[–]distancel 0 points1 point ago

I completely just watched that for almost a full minute. Awesome.

[–]xsdc 1 point2 points ago

Disappointed to not have it screaming "It's Four Thirty!"

[–]mitsman 0 points1 point ago

that perfectly synced with the music i was listening magic...

[–]Dem0n5 1 point2 points ago

I've been out of the pokemon game for a long time, so why is Lapras always included in stuff like this?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 2 points3 points ago

I dunno. I havent played a pokemon game since I was a kid. Silver vision.

[–]fulvous 0 points1 point ago

How did you make the ripple effects?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 5 points6 points ago

In After Effects I used a displacement map, with the background being middle gray and then I had rings over it in black and white matching the speed and size of the change. This is difficult to explain. I then made it shiny using the Trapcode Starglow plugin.

[–]fulvous 0 points1 point ago

Thank you!

[–]DingoManDingo 0 points1 point ago

It'd be cool if the pokémon around him turned into what they looked like in previous games.

[–]MrSuitMan 0 points1 point ago

Rad as SHIT

[–]Setsugami 0 points1 point ago

I think "Holy shit." describes my reaction to this quite well.

[–]strobelight317 1 point2 points ago

Amazing GIF but I am curious as to why Moltres, Zapdos, and Lapras?

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup[S] 10 points11 points ago

I dunno.

[–]strobelight317 1 point2 points ago

I respect your honesty sir

[–]derka_derka_dueces 0 points1 point ago

Because Lapras is awesome.

[–]strobelight317 0 points1 point ago

If you don't mind please explain

[–]manitto 0 points1 point ago

This is wonderful.

[–]BreadGaming 0 points1 point ago

Excuse me Lapras, where did you put Articuno?

[–]1937MCACornet 1 point2 points ago

Imagine watching this while completely stoned or baked! Perhaps then it'll appear 3-D!

[–]FridgeLogic42 0 points1 point ago

I can't take my eyes off it...

[–]Cryru 0 points1 point ago

Can you make the gif slower or possible post the town in different frames without the waves and changing?

[–]Crazyants 1 point2 points ago

Amazingly well done, I can't help but think that the effect may be more enjoy able if it were slowed down a tad

[–]Kipreel 0 points1 point ago

Think you could just remove Zapdos and Moltres?

[–]aceflight17 0 points1 point ago

This fit perfectly with the Dubstep I was listening too.

[–]EmDancer 0 points1 point ago

For a second I though I was on r/woahdude.

[–]CarolineJohnson 0 points1 point ago

Can you make it a bit slower and less jumpy? It's kind of hard on the eyes the way it is now...

[–]Jayx 1 point2 points ago

new water looks like ass

[–]KazMcDemon 0 points1 point ago

... Holy fuck. I thought the original was clever but this is awesome. Think it would be possible to change the surrounding Pokemon's sprites through each time switch?

[–]kemeras 0 points1 point ago

Sprites don't change, but I guess thats because they didn't do their jiggle in older versions. Very nice though!

[–]DonMakaveli 0 points1 point ago

Kinda reminds me of this.

[–]Dasey_Cunbar 1 point2 points ago

Zapdos is still the coolest legendary

[–]NocturneZX -1 points0 points ago

Dialga, what are you doing?! Dialga? STAHP!!

[–]skeddles -2 points-1 points ago

Was going to downvote because I already saw this, but then gif and then oh fuck

[–]patrikmonger[!] 1 point2 points ago

Put this on tumblr, gave you credit, hope you don't mind (If you do I will certainly take it down immediately!) http://fantasticbrilliantcool.tumblr.com/post/33428030589/credit-redpandamediagroup-from-r-pokemon
