In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV), the town of Alfornada contains a nod to the original Pokemon Red and Blue games which can be found on the multiple mosaic tiles scattered across the town. Read on for more information about the beautiful tilework in Alfornada, the sprites used in the mosaic, and more!
List of Contents
Those who visit Alfornada will see how vibrant and colorful it is due to the amount of beautiful ceramics and mosaics that decorate the city. But to those who played Pokemon Red and Blue will notice that these mosaics are more than meets the eye.

Keen eyed players of the first Generation of Pokemon will know where these sprites originate from. These are the menu sprites used to show which Pokemon they are at a glance at the Switch Out screen.

Unlike modern Pokemon games, the first Generation of games did not have special portraits to denote which species of Pokemon they are due to the size constraints of the Game Boy cartridges.
Due to this, generic sprites that symbolize which kind of Pokemon they are, were used.

Sprites are 2D images that are put on top of a scene or background in a video game. These are usually non-static and move on their own independent of the background.
Sprites are usually used to rerpresent the player, items, or even enemy units.
Talking about tiles, mosaics are an inlaid pattern design using small pieces of tiles to create an image or pattern. Popular materials used in creating mosaics are glass, natural stone, metal, and porcelain.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Spanish influence takes good use of this. This is a reference to Andalusia's capital of Seville, which is renown for the Plaza de España which has a mosaic mural of the history of Spain.
