   LITERALLY EVERY CARD IN THE GAME HAS THE SAME DITHERING PATTERN
   
   HOW
   
   WHAT PROGRAM DID THEY USE???
   
   I HAVE NO IDEA BUT THIS IS LEGENDARY MAYBE THEY FIGURED IT OUT BUT I DOUBT IT, I BELIEVE THE PROGRAM IS A MYSTERY
   if not I will be using whatever method they used to do this becuase holy shit I just learned about this the other day
   
   do you see it
   
   
   
   look at the pixels in the back they all line up

   they probably just took most of the backgrounds from generic landscape/sky photos and downscaled them which is why they all look similar

   they don't look similar, they are pixel perfect exact across every card, the ones where you can't see the pixels are just because of the way it comes out from the color pallet. Even the greyscale GB version are all the same thing and the video confirms color pallets were coded after all the graphics were already made

   oh they probably just used their own programming thing math code magic to render the art dithering. The game source code got reverse engineered but I assume their dithering algorithm wasn't included
