Rediscovered: High-Quality Scans of Original Pokémon Art by Ken Sugimori

High quality scans of Sugimori Ken's original watercolour artwork of the first 251 Pokémon species are being shared with the Pokémon community for the first time by YouTuber and Pokémon archivist LewTwo. The scans were sent to Lewtwo by Twitter user ExcaliburZero_Z and are hoped to be archived for preservation. The new scans show clearer outlines and less washed-out colours, making the Pokémon look more like their in-game counterparts. Lewtwo plans to work with sites such as Bulbapedia to share the new scans and will also put them on their own Pokémon Asset Archive.
