Wallpaper: The Right of All Nations

It seems that it will always take time for me to conceive new Pokémon wallpaper images for my PC and phone, but at least that affords some time for me to enjoy them within that time, not to mention to conceive new ideas for the next ones. And the idea for this one came at some point within that time and was developed over time, with the final results as shown below. That also becomes a way of making certain affirmations about what I like to involve in my wallpaper designs as well as what I like in general.

With that, the wallpaper is called "The Right of All Nations" because... well, it says so on the wallpaper. But that's not the only reason, for the title is a translation of the lower phrase - "Hak Segala Bangsa" - next to the stylized hash, which would make it a "hashtag" along with Pokémon itself (an actual hashtag would just have it as a regular letter E, but I chose to accent the E regardless). The focal point, meanwhile, is the image on the right, the poster for the "finale arc" for the anime while Ash was still in it - itself being a take on the first poster of the anime - which I've made into a "pseudo-TCG" style given the popularity of the recent TCGP game. Aside from that, there's the usual Pokémon logo, disclaimers, and some blank space for icons or whatever one likes to put there.

As for the affirmations, one of them is that I like parodies, for this is in part a parody of an ad campaign for a local department store that proclaims that any substance above the phrase is as the phrase suggests: everyone's right or entitlement. It has been applied to qualities (one of them being "cool") and other media, and I chose to apply it to Pokémon. In fact, the anime poster was also part of the inspiration, as I moved to interpret that anything on it could be entitled for anyone, including the people already in the poster. So, the two inspirations come together in this wallpaper, with a little help from current trends in Pokémon affairs to make things come out as I would believe.

The next affirmation is that I like to create simplistic designs and to involve text (typography) in my wallpaper creations. From the previous wallpaper creations to this one, there has always been some textual element and a simplistic arrangement of the elements that are involved in the wallpaper. And it's no accident, really; I think typography is just as important as any artistic image, and the latter is complemented by the former. Evidently, I have some attraction to the international Pokémon logo for the same reasons, not to mention attributive ones, and include a variant of them in all my creations.

Now, I mentioned "phone" earlier, and that's because I wanted to adapt the same wallpaper to use on my phone, and that's what I did. I just rearranged the same elements vertically to fill the space for a phone-sized wallpaper, and the result is the image below. I do have to say that the image below is a bit tall, which also implies that my phone is as such. Still, it shouldn't be all that difficult to adapt things if I need to.

Even Pokémon fans are entitled to simple yet creative and usable wallpaper images, and this latest creation of mine is as such, at least in my view. It's thought-provoking yet whimsical, and it has the elements of Pokémon that many fans without a doubt recognize and enjoy - surely as in my case, for some time ahead until the next wallpaper idea comes.
