That Epilogue - Anime Style

A Rocketshipper who does not like the ending of Dengeki Pikachu is quite crazy and may not even be a Rocketshipper. How can a Rocketshipper not like the logical and utterly flufftastically adorable conclusion of Rocketshipping? I don't think I've ever met a crazy Rocketshipper like that, which is good since if I will I think the world will implode.

I've wanted to do something with that pic for a long time, like coloring the original manga scan or something. I got bored with that real quick. Eventually, I decided that redrawing it in anime style would be far more appropriate. So I did.

I allowed myself some minor changes, like simplifying the band that's holding James' ponytail (he actually likes keeping it simple in the anime), ditching the little pattern Ono had on Jessie's overshirt (it was barely noticeable in the first place, you won't miss it) and not drawing the wedding ring (I still can't see them getting married in the anime, even though I've grown to like the idea of them eloping for kicks). But mostly it's kind of the same. Well, I have James blushing too, he didn't in the original version. Anime!James WOULD be all blushy.

Man. I never knew the combination of orange and yellow could be so motherly. Now I won't be able to look at Candy Musalina the same way ever again.
