Pokemon Go has been a really fun fitness tracker app but also it has given me perpetual pocket monster brain rot on a ridiculous level. “Oh is THAT why Elle paints a metric ton of pokemon fanart now?” you may ask yourself and YES, friend. YES IT IS.

Case in point, here’s this sketchbook page from earlier this year where we came home from Slowpoke Community Day and my brain did a *gestures* and suddenly I was doodling Slowpoke gijinka all over the page.

She’s peak “is it no thoughts head empty or is that head crafting a very specific murder ploy I cannot tell” energy, which is what I get from Slowpoke at all times.
