I first got into Pokemon in 3rd grade. I've had many memories with it, but I've found that the most enjoyable memories are when you are able to have moments with other people. Discussing that awesome Pokemon you found, sharing tips, trading with each other, battling, etc. Sure I've immersed in the story, but its more fun to play with friends. I also have many Pokemon cards, but without having people to trade with, it would be impossible to have the collection I do. So my inspiration was to thank all of you for being a part of my life. I was not able to fit everyone, but I want you all to know that you've given me lots of good memories.

Everyone remembers getting their starter Pokémon the first time they played any of the games. I fondly recall receiving my Piplup at the start of Pokémon Diamond, and how I trained him throughout my journey. He was so dear to me that I leveled him up to the highest extent, resulting in his evolution to Empoleon. I favoured him so much that his majestic Surf attack could easily knock out a high level grass type with ease. The absurdity of winning the grass gym battle in few moves delighted me, and I still have a place for Piplup in my heart, despite not having a home for the game any more.

The real challenge was creating a water surface with different colours, blending and transparency. It's also my first time drawing something detailed (e.g Empoleon), and adding shadow and highlights is my favourite part of making a picture. It was created in paint.NET from scratch, and I hope you enjoy!

I never had too many games when I was a kid, so once I finally got my hands on something it became a focus. At some point we got a Nintendo 64 from our neighbor. It had a couple of the standards: Goldeneye, Pokemon Stadium, Perfect Dark, some generic racing games, but what interested me the most was Pokemon Snap. I would play each course trying to perfect everything, try out every possibility, do everything you could possibly do in the game. There was one thing, though, that I thought was really fun..

Pester balls. And also lobbing apples at the pokemon, too, but mostly pester balls. It was massively entertaining for me to see pokemon just dawdling around only to be smacked with some noxious gas and end up doing something silly, or getting dizzy and flopping over. After running through a course normally I would go through it and just litter the entire map with pester balls. The best map though was Volcano because there was a point where the vehicle would be stopped and a bunch of Charmanders could be baited out with some apples, only for me to bombard them with hundreds of pester balls and apples and spending my entire roll of film on that. Every now and then my family would walk by and see this and think I was nuts or something.

Being silly with Pokemon Snap is a fond memory for me because it's what got me interested in photography. More than that, it was Professor Oak's bad taste in composition that drove me to go outside the game's boundaries and begin taking pictures in the real world.

stop charmander abuse
