Fan art has been a staple for thePokemonfranchise since its initial release back in 1996 and each new title in the series inspires more unique art. OnePokemonfan has decided to imagine what the robust Goldenrod City inPokemon Gold and Silverwould look like with much more details thrown in while maintaining the retro aesthetic.
Twitter user Dewndeym recently posted aPokemon Gold and SilverGoldenrod City fan art which has garnered the attention of many Pokemon fans online. Unlike the Goldenrod City featured inPokemon Gold and Silver, Dewndeym’s fan art imagines the city with more realistic details like electrical wires connecting the various buildings, air ventilators atop each structure, and satellite dishes in some specific locations. There are four billboards hidden around Dewndeym’s fan art and they each fittingly advertisePokemon-related goods and locations.

Dewndeym has gone beyond adding small details toPokemon Gold and Silver’sGoldenrod Citywith their fan art as multiple buildings in the city have been revamped to reflect their interiors better. The Goldenrod CityPokemonGym, for example, has been made far more colorful, and it includes the sprite art of Gym leader Whitney as well as a Jigglypuff sitting on the roof which suggests the Pokemon-type the Gym revolves around. There’s also a hint at one of Whitney’s three Pokemon in the Goldenrod City fan art which highlights a Clefairy painting on the top floor of the Department Store.
Eagle-eyedPokemonfans will be able to notice some small Pokemon sprites in Dewndeym’s fan art as a flock of Yanma fly through the sky towards the bottom of the piece, near the Yanma is a Mantine being followed by six Remoraid. Above this group of Pokemon in Dewndeym’s Goldenrod City fan art is a Tentacool floating in the water near some rocks and a surfingPikachuwhich is located near the Radio Tower. The Radio Tower itself has been changed to represent the real one located in Osaka, Japan, and it has Team Rocket’s insignia all over it.
The Goldenrod City Game Corner and Magnet Train Station have been drastically altered in Dewndeym’s fan art, with the Train Station getting the biggest overhaul and the Game Corner featuring language familiar to most Casinos. In front of the Radio Tower,Team Rocketis battlingPokemon Crystalprotagonist Kris, pitting a Golbat against what appears to be a Totodile. While many Goldenrod City NPCs remain in Dewndeym’s fan art, the piece includes many more which makes it come off like more of a city.
