For my research project, I decided to focus on how character designs in games have evolved over time to fit new narratives or thematics the game currently has or has developed.
And for my practical output, I focused on the latest release in the Pokémon franchise (2023) Scarlet Violet, and how the new Paradox forms reflect or are reminiscent of their 'present' or old design.
For this I redesigned Gothitelle into a 'future form' named Iron Oracle, a Psychic Dark Pokémon .
