Ada yang tau Pokemon? Yang ada makhluk imut mirip tikus gendut warna kuning yang pipinya merah itu loh (itu sebetulnya namanya Pikachu). Nah, ada yang tau kartu Pokemon? Kartu ini mirip2 Magic The Gathering... Ada yang tau Magic The Gathering? (cape deeehhh....). Pokoknya intinya mah kedua kartu ini sama2 diproduksi oleh Wizard of the Coast (ada yang tau Wizard of the Coast? tidaaaaaakkkkk....!!!!!!!).
Jadi gini... dalam game TCG (Trading Card Game) kartu Pokemon ini, setiap kartu diwakili oleh satu gambar Pokemon, dan masing2 mempunyai kekuatan dan skill-nya tersendiri untuk dipertarungkan sesuai peraturan TCg tersebut. Setiap gambar pun dibuat oleh artis (ilustrator maksudnya) yang berbeda2 pula. Saat lagi browsing2 di internet, Saya nemuin situs (entah blog ato apa) yang mengulas desain/gambar dalam kartu Pokemon. Ulasan dan komentar2 dia lucu deh, ini gw quote tulisan2nya (dalam bahasa Inggris):
"...be it the rain storm as Tyranitar prowls the jungle ruins at night, or the bright and sunny day as Blissey strolls out of the bushes (what WAS he doing in there??)."
FYI Tyranitar dan Blissey adalah nama Pokemon...
"LEDYBA by Tomokazu Komiya. No wonder he’s crying. If I had my eight legs stuck to a pile of vomit, I’d be crying too. What a horrible piece of work."
Begitu pula dengan LEDYBA, itu juga nama Pokemon...
"DARK SLOWKING by Tomokazu Komiya. It’s night. A storm rages over a tropical island. The evil Slowking ponders his plan for world domination. And all captured by an artist with no obvious talent…."
Hwakakakak....
"SWINUB by Kagemaru Himeno. Ok… so Swinub is a BITCH to make an interesting picture of, but, jeeeeez…. Well, one of them seems to have died of embarrassment from appearing on this card. Boring? Doesn’t come close."
Fwafwafwa parah. Jadi penasaran pengen liat gambarnya. Btw, gw sendiri blm liat gambar2nya sperti apa...
"CORSOLA by Miki Tanaka. WHY can’t we have a nice picture of Corsola for once??"
hmm...
"MIKI TANAKA. Paras. Victreebel and various other crimes against art."
Ada juga fashion crime... dkk.
"YUKIKO BABA. Mr Mime. Doduo. Marill. Consistent. Terrible, but consistent."
Yang penting konsisten, hwihihihihi...
"Hope nobody took this too seriously. It’s only meant as a light-hearted bit of fun. And if any of the artists I insulted are reading this.. I’m real sorry, but, please, FIND ANOTHER PROFESSION!!"
But I don't really think the artists can understand reading your comments, they're japanese you know...
"Horsea by Miki Tanaka: A combination of horrid drawing with sick colours. I am astounded they continue to employ Miki."
Iya, kenapa ya? (pdhl gw sndiri blm prnh liat gambarnya :P)
"Elekid by Miki Tanaka: and here Miki is again, ruining one of the best pokemon."
Jadi penasaran sama Miki, organda yang mana sich...
"Tyrogue by Miki Tanaka: I mean…. What IS that???!!!!"
Aduh ngakak gw baca ini...
"Eevee by Aya Kusube: Not as obviously BAD as some others but just a really depressingly POOR picture of Eevee, who is, after all, so “photogenic”!!"
Huhu. Eevee adalah salahsatu jenis Pokemon yang tipenya 'imut'...
"Igglybuff by Miki Tanaka: I’d take a pin to that balloon. Iggly is fairly ugly at the best of times. Yet Miki makes it that bit worse."
Lalalaa... Miki Tanaka again...
"Dunsparce by Yukiko Baba: Now, I know… Dunsparce is the UGLIEST pokemon and the biggest waste of space. But it can be drawn well. Take a look at the Japanese promo Dunsparce if you don’t believe me. However this is just terrible."
Huhuhuhihihihahaha...
"Stantler by Yukiko Baba: Vile beyond measure. Poor old Stantler."
Vile beyond measure... perlu dicatat.
"Zubat by Yukiko Baba: Now come on. A child of eight could do better."
Aduh aduh aduh...
"Geodude by Masako Yamashita: Or is that I-am-a-shit-a(rtist)?"
Uuuu... komentar yang ini agak jahat. Tapi pffttt...!!!
Yang menulis komen-komen di atas memiliki nickname Saturninebear. Tentu saja dia juga mengomentari gambar2 yang bagus dan memujinya. Dia selalu mendata dengan best 5 dan worst 5. Tapi yah, emang yang lucunya cuman yang komentar jelek2, jadinya yang ku-post cuma yang itu fufufufufufu... Btw aku lupa nama situsnya apa.
*Aaakh.. debat capres Amrik ga penting. Mu Obama ato McCain yang menang terserah deh, toh Indonesia dan dunia Islam akan tetap termarjinalkan. Wong Obama itu pendukung nomer satu kaum Yahudi dan Israel. Kok orang2 Indon pake ikut heboh segala ngedukung2 Obama ya? Padahal Obama itu malu dan menutup2i kalo doi pernah tinggal di Indonesia... wkwkwkwkwwk!!!
