And now you can see an even larger, clearer image of the new Riche artwork.

Her eyes are so freakin’ blue

Before I couldn’t really tell what they were, I thought they were purple or something, now when Sugimori draws his characters in his current style where they have very visible irises, you can definitely tell that her eyes are BLUE

And the pupil is deeper blue and not black which is awesome because there still has to be something there to tell you “hey this is a CG person”.

Does it mean what I think it means?

Please. Don’t get me hyped with false hopes
(It would be so glorious though)

Right now, Game Freak is likely in a position where they would begin work on a non-Pokemon-related project (like last year’s Harmo Knight, which was put together in somewhere around a year? meaning they had a group working on that while B2W2 was being developed). But you’re right, just because Sugimori wants to do it, doesn’t necessarily mean it will get done, at least not this time; it has to be pitched to a board and then voted on, from what I understand, so there have to be some other Game Freak staffers who would want to work on it too.

I believe Sugimori has said before in Twitter that he would like to work on more Pulseman but the company wasn’t in a position that allows them to do so.
HarmoKnight turning out successful could be the motivation they need, because their previous games despite the fact that they are great games had very poor sales.
Drill Dozer is fucking fantastic.

Indeed!
I remember this being the second time Sugimori has said that he wants to another Pulseman game, though last time it was concerning a sequel, and he said it wasn’t likely since the VC port wasn’t selling much.
If he decides to try to pitch a remake of the game, I’d be all for that; when Game Freak did remakes of their Pokemon titles, they were fairly successful. Of course, they were updated to the most recent playing mechanics and got a whole new look with the advance in graphics. Also, if they remade Pulseman with the concept of how the Internet exists today, compared to how it was back in 1993 or so… unf.
And then you look at stuff like HarmoKnight. That was their first non-Pokemon release after they set up the new company structure. They only released it in Japan at first, but when it became such a success there, they risked opening it up to the overseas market and realized that it was selling well over there, too. Maybe this could be their incentive to keep giving non-Pokemon stuff a chance; maybe Sugimori could even get his Pulseman remake idea going as well.

Larger, clearer version… but I want to see the whole picture (if it exists)…
Says “Giga Drive” behind her, I know “Giga Driver” was the last track on the original Pulseman techno album…
…Oh. There was actually going to be a SEGA Giga Drive, to succeed the Mega Drive and beat out the 3DO. It would have had a 32-bit engine with CD-ROM capability. It was announced around 1993 (when Pulseman was being worked on) but was ultimately canceled in favor of the Saturn.

Ken Sugimori (director of Pulseman) has changed his Twitter icon to what appears to be a very, very recent rendition of Riche in his own style.
It’s too early in the day for me to be able to handle this. I need to go lay back down.

is it just me being really bad or is the australia stage really fucking annoying and hard

It’s not just you. Just about every LP of this game includes a string of curse words during the video of this stage.

I’ve found that the trick in getting through the straight-down path is to keep collecting the Spark Balls after each death so that you will eventually get your health refilled close to halfway down during one try, then you can afford to take a few more hits before you finally get to the bottom.
