Super Paul Robertson Pixel Art
For the “Super iam8bit” show, Paul Robertson submitted three pixel art pieces with Irem versus Taito, Violent Storm, and Custer’s Revenge. You can see the other two after the break.
Pokémon Kings
Paul Robertson brings together the mighty monarchs of the Pokémon world. One can only assume this will be followed up with a group shot of the Pokémon queens.
Grass Bros.
Paul Robertson completes his Pokémon triptych with the grass-type pocket monsters. You can see the fire-type HERE and the water-type HERE.
Fire Bros
Paul Robertson heats things up with this group shot of the fire-type pokémon. You can see his earlier rendition of the water-type pokémon HERE.
Dog Days
Paul Robertson bangs out another great piece of pixel animation with this gathering of some of the most iconic dogs from videogame history.
Pixel artist extraordinaire Paul Robertson (Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game) made this warped homage to one of the most bizarre Pokémon evolution chains of all time.
I would totally play the living junk out of a game where you could collect and battle cute anime chicks who evolved like this.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game gets a zombie mode code!
If you’re like me, you’ve probably been wanting a zombie-killing game with Paul Robertson sprites ever since you first saw the famous GIF below.
At the title screen, just enter: down, up, right, down, up, right, down, up, right, right, right.
An easy way to remember it is “dur dur durrr”.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game hits the PlayStation Store on August 10th for $15, but you can head over to Ubisoft’s online shop to pre-order it for $9.99 and get an extra $1 off by using the coupon code 10THANKS. $9 for a $15 game isn’t bad at all, and you even get an exclusive Sex Bob-omb shirt for your PlayStation Home avatar, but I don’t think anyone still fucks with Home, so whatevs. Sweet deal, though!
