Misunderstood pixels thread
>>342448446
He's clearly facing straight up.
>>342449251
If you use a later gen sprite, sure. But back then different people interpreted it differently
Can't see the first one at all. Second one is the only one for me.
Warcraft has the strangest icons
>>342449457
This says a lot about your personality and psyche.
>>342449457
I can see it for a split second, but it makes him look more like a caterpillar than a cocoon.
>>342448446
At first I thought it was the right one. Now I'm not so sure
Honestly, the one on the left makes more sense if you consider where the eye is on Caterpie. Also the "nose" could be the space where the wings grow into
![latest[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/fqVO8Y7.jpg "latest[1].png")
Just dug up this screenshot from the anime which supports the Metapod Facing Down Theory
>>342450010
What if he's looking away from the camera at someone he's pissed off at?
>>342448446
Didn't the anime and other media make the same mistake (referring to the one on the right)?
I could have sworn they did.
Left was long proven to be the correct one by Pokemon Snap.
It's a neat thing to point out in a "haha that's funny" way but there aren't really people who genuinely think the right is true?
Like it's literally never been show like that in anything ever. It's not a debate. Is it just an elaborate pretending to be retarded ruse?
>>342449630
It's more a chrysalis than a cocoon
Or at least that's what it looks like. I can't remember if that's how it works for caterpie
>>342451114
So just to be clear, in whatever scenario Metapod was in the sad eyes part was always treated as the front?
as a kid I thought he was some kind of moon pokemon
>>342451242
The sprite in Pokemon Yellow showed the right one when you fought against a Metapod
>>342451530
Pretty much. Except for Pokemon yellow when your opponent used one
>>342449565
it's a blade tearing through metal. How is it strange?
>>342451242
>>342449565
I've been playing since mid-vanilla and I never realized that the arcane intelligence sign was the kirin-tor symbol until someone pointed it out in a thread a couple of weeks ago
>>342449251
God damn it, I don't even know any more.
Right looks the best even if it isn't correct.
>>342451672
This is really fucking my mind, Either the Bernstein effect is happening or me interpreting metapod backwards as a child fucked my memory and perception of him.
I obviously quickly figure out the correct placement of his "face" but for years I've had memories that he used to be backwords just because of how inconsistent and bizarre early pokemon was.
Metapod is such a fucking weird looking pokemon.
>>342452139
you should see the one that looks like a dick
>>342452139
Now that I'm looking at him the right way after all these years yes he is
He looks like a dopey green walrus with the "mouth"
I never thought of it that way but the left really does make more sense.
>>342451936
Why did you remind me of that fucking berenstein thing
>>342449565
I always thought the left red part was a desert and the blade was a wound in the armor and the actual wound was just a red splotch on the armor.
I would say sad facing to the left because Caterpie was always shown bent upwards and facing the left
>>342451796
No anon, that's a red boot
>>342452424
Because whenever you and a multitude of other people bear witness to the same incorrect memory it could only mean you slid between an alternate universe.
>>342448446
Autism. As bad as people still looking for signs that there will be a final chapter to MGSV.
>>342448446
why would the concept art have him facing away?
why would most of his sprites have him facing away from the opponent?
>>342451936
Fuck off and take your retarded shit back to /x/ with you
>>342451796
Nigga it's a crab pincer.
>>342450010
>>342448446
It's sad eyes faggots get used to it
>>342451936
its not called the Berenstein effect it has been coined The Mandela Effect. just a heads up.
>>342453069
No, you see the Mandela effect doesn't explain the phenomenon as a result of traveling across alternate realities.
>>342453252
When you travel across alternate realities does that align your QPUs?
>>342451936
>Berenstein effect
Just looked this up and now I'm annoyed, why can't people just observe an interesting cognitive/social phenomena without jumping to conspiracy theories?
>>342453331
Because ur a gay bitch.
Speaking of Pokemon, for the longest time I thought the sprite where this Trainer faced forward was of her with a giant jaw, endlessly grinning.
Then I noticed it was colored separately from her face and was actually a scarf
>>342453481
I could have sworn I wasn't, looks like we've hit another slide. The Mandela effect strikes again.
>>342450010
Wtf... My whole world has just been flipped upside down.
>>342448446
>>342450000
>>342450000
this is all I see
a classic
>>342456497
I refuse to believe anyone naturally saw it that way
>>342449565
I always thought it was a red boot
I'm fucking retarded
![Ability_stealth[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/adE4au0.png "Ability_stealth[1].png")
>>342449565
I always thought Stealth was an angry Zeus-like guy with big dark eyebrows and a beard to match
red is sitting down to battle. imagine his fist is actually a foot
>>342457390
u wot
>>342451694
You forgot the big tongue
>>342457390
so he's just a head on legs?
>>342456497
No matter how hard I try, I cannot see it that way.
>>342457390
Go to sleep anon.
Does this count
I only see a guy here
>>342454231
This picture has been posted so much that Togekiss and Dodou taking a shit are all I see now and I have to take 5 seconds to figure out it's actually hitmonchan
>>342457390
>>342457746
>>342457773
See it now?
>>342456497
I love this one
>>342458106
Ouh yu so creva
>>342449565
Crab claw
>>342458106
holy fuck i actually do now
ridiculous
>>342458594
Saw the same thing all those years ago.
>>342449565
I hear ya. I thought this was a demon-pig thing, in fact those were illidans hands.
Same thing with a few others like Dark Rangers silence.
Now I got really curious, which email address should I use to email GameFreak about this Metapod issue?
>>342458964
Probably your work email, makes it look more official
>>342454562
haha, now I see it too
>>342458106
Looks like mecha Nigel Thornberry
>>342459246
>>342459339
OH HOW SMASHING, I REALLY GAVE THAT MOTHER BRAIN A PIECE OF MY MIND EEE HEE

It all comes back to Nigel
>>342450000
This is the only one I can ever see in these threads, along with Whitney and the guy standing in front of the Cerulean Cave
Nice quads btw
I was a dumb child
>>342460529
>>342449565
I always thought this was like, a red bear trap with blood on it.
>>342460529
>>342460668
This is next level stupid, but I can't stop laughing
>>342453553
She looks topless in the bottom right.
Someone post ruby/saphire MC hair
>>342449565
Looks like a combine harvester to me.
The fat guys in early Pokemon games who were actually holding surfboards.
White hair or white beanie?
>>342461540
white beanie
I always thought it wasn't detailed enough for it to be hair.
And also his backsprite
>>342448446
I'm pretty sure its intended to be perceived either way. A lot of IRL insects are tricky like that
>>342462270
I always thought he was showing part of his dick.
>>342457390
So he wears a backpack on his ass?
>>342461540
>>342462269
The dog Wily is better.
>>342462269
Its a bear with a party hat sticking its tongue out on a piece of wood or parchment or whatever, not Crash's gf face and hair.
>>342463427
that's a good one
>>342459881
i always thought the black pixels were the arms and he just had sticks for arms
>>342463427
wew
>>342463427
I only just realized what this one actually was a couple years ago. It's still hard for me to see it as Titties Bandicoot even now
>>342463427
HD remake when?
>>342463427
Once I saw it's a she, I can no longer see the bear in the party hat
>>342461540
I feel dumb. For years now I always thought it was white hair but you just made me realize it's probably a beanie.
>>342463427
holy fuck, I've never seen crash's gf's face, I always thought it was a party hat bear with it's tongue sticking out
and I always wondered why, but decided fuck it, bonus time.
>>342448446
>>342449251
>>342449375
>>342450010
>>342451242
>>342451805
here look
this metapod is evolving
when the evolution comes out it's facing up so the metapod must also be facing up
>>342453069
You mean the Berenstain Effect?
/v/ tries it: Metapod
>>342463427
I always assumed it was some random character, I never really saw it as Crash's gf. The eye shadow and partially obscured face throw it off hard.

>>342466583
The right side example is how I've always seen it, what the fuck
>>342462138
I like the idea that his hair is black and then turns white/is dyed and long
>>342466583
You mean that's NOT how the room is set up?
>>342466397
I mean as an insect that makes perfect sense. Arbok is the snake example of the same concept.

swap the attorney and prosecutor around and you've got it right
Everything except the judge's portraits are seen from the judge's direction
>>342466583
>>342466721
>>342466827
The setup of the room is literally visible every time the crowd gasps, the judge bangs his gavel, when the court is starting or when you win the case, what the fuck?
>>342466948
It's one of those things that you never really 'see" until you spend time thinking about it.
>>342466583
I always assumed it was like the left, and that the 'camera' was placed in the middle of the room, hence all of those little bits of motion blur as it quickly turned 90 degrees to face another person.
updated from anon's comment
what a load of bullcrap
Even though I knew she was a rat I couldn't figure out what was going on in her portrait on the old fuzzy TVs
On a semi-related note, in Sonic 3 I thought Knuckles was a girl. A redhead biker girl rodent that would end up being Sonics girlfriend.
I know they're supposed to be fireballs but to this day they still look like cheeseballs to me.
>>342448446
And then there's this thing
>>342453331
Because people don't want to admit they could be wrong.
>>342467278pizza cheese?
My friend apparently thought the black outline is a beard/goatee or something. I was trying to explain to him how it's his mouth and he just couldn't wrap his head around it for a few minutes
I never had time to check from a closer look because the red falling stars would have killed me

I can't force myself to see it like that. Not even in your drawing.

It's both. Left is his normal state, right is after he uses harden.

A nigger sitting on his ass with cap backwards and yellow pants, feet stretched out.
pls tell me someone sees that

please enjoy this icon for storm's eye in ffxiv

never had a gameboy as a child so I only ever saw metapod through the card.
this was a serious debate for me and my sister

Holy fuck
>>342471780
forced as fuck
>>342471802
I would highlight it but I'm on a chromebook and trackpad drawing is the worst
It looks like a hedgehog (I guess? For some reason young me thought so) or small animal facing sideways, with the car being the top of it's head and the leftmost curve being the nose
>>342448446
>being an idiot
Metapods can't fight predators so they appear to have faces on both sides so they can't be attacked from behind. You know, it's common sense.
Based on it's shape and Butterfree's shape (and the eyes) the one of the left is probably 'the front', but based on the way insect eyes work and the fact it's a cocoon I'm not sure any of that matters anyway.
>>342471976
What did he mean by this?
>>342472049
I mean there's no way you would actually see it this way unless you were looking to post it in one of these shitty fucking meme threads, same with the contra "worm" and the "red sitting down in battle" shitposts
>>342472117
I'm not the guy who posted it, but I can pretty easily see that in the sprite.
Why does it make you angry?
>>342472179
It really doesn't but you'd actively be trying to look for it in the sprite to even see that in the first place.
It's fucking stupid.
The only accurate ones ITT are the aghanim one and maybe smoochum.
>>342471143
I always thought it was the little bird of Snoopy when I was a child
>>342472316

Smug ass looking motherfucker.
>>342472117
kek just a newfag missing the point of these threads?
>>342472413
These threads are all made up bullshit that stretch really hard to be "lol thats so random"
Only a few are even legitimate in the first place
You'd have to be retarded not to know this by the way some of the images are even put together, especially like the sprite we were discussing before
>>342472571
It's amazing how you know what other people see and interpret, Anon. Teach me your ways.
>>342468991
and spooky goosebumps eyes
>>342460881
>>342472638
If you're actually seeing a few pixels that are almost 100% of the time clearly intended to be something in a way that would make for an epic meme on your chinese imageboard then you probably have bigger problems
>>342472725
Shut the fuck up and have fun.
>>342472725
its the entire point of the thread m8
>>342467961
god damn I am just seeing now that it is an axe

I never saw problems with this one as its supposed to be.
>>342472571
>These threads are all made up bullshit
Yay! You finally get it. Now an you leave please? Clearly this isn't a thread for you.

>>342472901
>>342472831
>>342472987

Why not? I have an OG sidewinder precision pro joystick and it's actually a pretty good stick.
Had to nigger rig the adapter but still a great stick for a 5 dollar thrift store find.
It also has signatures from the devs embossed under the bottom cover.
>>342473097
The point of these thread was originally for people to share sprites they genuinely interpreted wrong, then for fun some people forced themselves to see sprites in other ways so it would be humours to think that anyone would see it that way.
Now threads are a mix of both of these so sometimes you'll come across genuine mind-blowing stuff and sometimes more light-headed "jokes".
Don't you like fun anon?
>>342473138
>>342473486
Except the "joke" ones are fucking stupid and not actually good like the real misinterpretations.
They pretty much ruined what was decent about the original threads and now we have the same shit every fucking day.
If I could fucking kill memes I would dedicate my life to the cause
