On The Origin Of Pokémon

08/03/2022

We've had a lot of messages over the last couple of years asking for copies, we can finally say we are back in action and shipping internationally!

We've improved our packaging with a cardboard bookshell, 2Xdouble layers of bubble wrap and a waterproof wrapping to better protect for those journeys overseas.

Books are available via this link:

Thanks for all the kind messages during this turbulent period. Here's to a better year!

We still need 10% in order to reach the funding target and bring this project to life so every pledge is extra important. Check out the new example page featuring Lapras!

My favourite page so far! Wartortle's backstory is way better than I could have guessed! If you want to get your hands on a book containing breakdowns for every Kanto Pokemon please consider pledging on the Kickstarter campaign:

Thanks so much for supporting the project!

We are over halfway with 16 days to go which is incredible. To celebrate I'm releasing my draft for Pikachu, did you know that it was originally based on a Japanese sweet rice cake?

There's still some way to go, but you can help make this project come to life by sharing it with your friends and family and spreading the word.
