Just when you’re this close to completing your Pokémon collection, something comes up. This time that something is illustrator and character designer Totomame, who’s been creating new Pokémon characters for a couple years now, giving them a more realistic feel.

In his illustrations, Totomame mixes the classic cute beast designs with the looks of real-life animals, producing a Pokémon collection that’s more grounded in real life. And honestly, we can’t decide which one’s better… What do you think?
