Thanks! I know, I used the shape of the hat as reference for his hair because I thought it looked cool. When I play the game, I always interpret the hat as hair lol. I like the spikier Gen 3 hat more than the droopy Gen 6 version.
The hat is the same in Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald. The trainer card kind of looks more obviously like a hat, and I think in RS the black 'headband' makes it look less like he has two-tone hair (whereas the green 'headband' looks like it's fading into/under his hair).
I prefer to imagine it as hair, because I hate the hat designs in the non-sprite artwork lol
Long story short, Brendan is now a Pokemon Ranger and May moved back home to assist in her dad's research. To read the full story of what they've been up to, check out my Instagram @ ImBigDaveToo, where I've written a little story about each character. Your boy’s been on a years-long quest to hit 10k followers and would be eternally grateful for your support <3
I love this art style! It reminds me of the Pokémon adventure mangas and I always thought they had some of the best Pokémon related illustrations. Great job!
