Hello,
I've been working on this software that scripts image manipulation. I've been using the 151 original pokemon for my demos. Check it out, below are a few samples.
These are pretty cool, but the problem is, the pokemon images I'm using were ripped directly from the pokemon.com flash pokedex. The images I want are the Ken Suigimori original 151, not these new ones. I'm talking Red and Blue era. Does anyone have or know where to find good copies of these images? Images like the ones I used above, with good resolution and transparent png?
What I'm looking for is something like this
NOTE: the bulbgarden/bulbapedia and the pldh.net archives will not work. Both of these collections have large numbers of low-res and non-transparent and choppy edges. I want something clean, that I can use like the images I used above.
To entice you to tell me how to find these images, I'll tell you how to get my images. The following perl script will download all 646 pokemon images straight from the pokemon.com flash pokedex. Every image is a high quality transparent png.
If you can not run perl scripts, you just need to manually visit these urls.
I'm considering putting an archive on the internet, but I hesitate, for copyright concerns. If I put it up, I'll post back a link.
Thank you, and enjoy!

Code:
($url = sprintf("$base_url/%03d.png", $_)) && `wget '$url'` foreach 0 .. ($base_url = 'http://assets.pokemon.com/static/_ui/img/sections/pokedex/full') && 646;But that will take you forever...
