Wes, from Pokémon Colosseum. This was the first Pokémon game I ever worked on so it holds a special place for me. pic.twitter.com/CYSu6vdWqQ

Pokemon Sword and Shield art director James Turner has shared a lot of tribute art in recent months, but today he's put up something tied to a title from years ago.
As you can see above, Turner shared a tribute to Pokemon Colosseum, which was actually the first Pokemon game that Turner worked on! The game definitely has its fans out there, and I'm sure all of them are happy to see a nod to the entry with a piece of art.
UPDATE - Mr. Turner has now shared a piece of tribute art for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness as well.
Today is the 15th anniversary of the release of Pokémon XD in Japan, and I had to draw a little art to mark the occasion. This was the second Pokémon game I worked on! pic.twitter.com/I4xcqwPTQm
