#mt moon

Mt Moon, free of Zubats (because I didn’t feel like drawing them :p). Also have a print available in my shop :3

Got an idea for Pokemon travel posters when I was thinking about how to incorporate the starters and regions into new merch, so here we are staring with Mt Moon for Kanto. I was originally going to do Vermillion City, but the layout of it was kinda confusing and I couldn’t figure out a composition that would fit the aspect ratio.

Caves in Pokemon games set my teeth on edge. Unlike regular routes, where you encounter wild Pokemon in tall grass, you can find Pokemon anywhere.

Every step is a potential encounter. And Kanto caves are pretty big - or perhaps they only feel that way when you generally make progress less than 10 steps at a time.

It's not just me, either. Everyone in this cave seems a bit jumpy.

But we soon find out it's not just the natural charm of the cave.

I know this is probably just a translation hiccup, but I can't stop thinking about this line.

What's the bug catcher actually asking? Am I in the cave? Am I suspicious? Am I suspicious of the men in the cave?

Alone in this dark cave, would I choose to encounter a man or a bloodsucking zubat?

Zubat used confuse ray!
