Who are you running from? The time has come, I had to do this. AI-enhanced error faces from the 1998 Game Boy Camera. Yea... sorry
New Pokémon Tale available, thank you all for your support on Ko-fi, this wasn't on the list, but since it's pretty rare we thought to do it anyways, Sumiyoshi Kizuki's 2001 Detective Chikorita, written by Akihito Toda and translated by @jeikonbuhonyaku [1/5]

Friends! What you see is the EARLIEST Pokémon illustration ever published we know of. GameFreak 93 New Year postcard by Ken Sugimori found and scanned by the awesome collector instagram.com/hapycakeoven A truly exciting discovery. There's probably a color version around ò.o7
AMAZIIING! Finally, a ton of HQ Pokémon Anime Settei from the first season has been just dropped by the awesome @setteidreams ! check them out setteidreams.net/settei/pocket-… and follow them on twitter :D
Peak Sugimori Alert! At last, we are proud to present the page from the Pokémon 1998 Calendar, the last time he painted gen 1 Pokémon in his trademark watercolor style. A wonderful piece we re-scanned, and this time you can find a 12k pixel version for download in the thread!
Today on "Average-Res Pokémon" Koga and Giovanni battling using "Toxic Cloud" and "Call the Boss" from their cards by Kagemaru Himeno, in June 99 CoroCoro. Unfortunately, these pics are always so tiny there's no use in up-res-ing them up all the way :/ really funny anyways
Ancient Mew (our first De-holo!) and its official lexicon from Sept. 99 Coro Coro. It's interesting to get the meaning of the Mayan symbols behind Mew: Death, Birth, Succession, and Enthronement. One mystery remains, who's the author!? Restored back and extras in thread (1/2)
