By their very nature, Pokémon are highly stylized, so reimagining them as biologically feasible lifeforms presents an exciting challenge. This concept is the idea behind the Realistic Pokémon project, a series by RJ Palmer, aka ‘Arvalis’ who is so talented he was hired to assist with the designs for movies like Detective Pikachu.
His art imagines what kind of biology a more scientifically grounded version of a Pokémon might have — often with fascinating results.
So, this entry into the archive will be a Pokémon nature documentary of sorts, examining Palmer’s redesigned Pokémon as if they were real animals.
