I love Pokemon, and have since it first arrived on the scene back in the 1990s. I grew up with the first generation characters while in Primary School, and, along with my brothers, collected the trading cards. 

While I am not as familiar with the latest generations of Pokemon (unless I've come across them at work), I still have fond memories of watching the television show and knowing the first 100 or so off by heart! 

Now that my daughter is old enough, I am trying to introduce her to Pokemon. She already knows Eevee (sort of forced onto her because her name is Eve so she has all the toys lol), and now she knows Pikachu (and says his name in an extremely cute way). 

That's why I have decided to put up this puzzle today- another nostalgia hit! The quality of this puzzle was pretty good and it didn't take long for me to piece together because I recognised many of the features of the characters and was able to put it together quickly. 

I have a few other Pokemon puzzles and I can't wait to get to them!

I've always been a fan of the original (first series) of Pokemon. 
I, along with my brothers, collected the trading cards when we were in Primary School, and we had some of the games on the original Game Boy! How's that for a blast from the past?! 

Of course, as time went on, Pokemon became less popular- until Pokemon Go was released in 2016, that is! Suddenly it was back, and although I didn't jump onto the bandwagon, I still remembered my love for the little Japanese characters. 

When I saw this puzzle of the first series (the ones I knew by heart) I knew I had to get it for nostalgia sake. It was amazing how much I remembered about each Pokemon (including name, look, type, evolution, etc)!

This puzzle is from Japanese brand Ensky and the quality was perfect. I really enjoyed putting this one together and although the character's names were written in Japanese, I didn't mind in the slightest. 
After all, it's a Japanese puzzle, the character's are Japanese and why shouldn't they be represented in that way?! 

This is a great puzzle for fans, and I'm pretty sure that if you're interested, there's a puzzle that has the next 150 characters or so. I won't be getting it though, despite the fine quality- this was the one for me, I don't recognise many more of the characters!
