Here’s what happens when an artist who knows nothing about Pokémon attempts to draw them
Toho/The Pokemon Movie
Despite the unbridled success of Pokémon Go, it is indeed still possible to find adult humans who have never seen a Pokémon character in their life. Enter Sam (known on Reddit as "netwoodle"): An artist who decided to offer up his talents to fans of Pokémon, despite knowing nothing about the game.
He submitted a post to /r/ICanDrawThat (a community created for artists who want to doodle the ideas of other Redditors) that said: "Give me a name and I'll doodle your Pokémon. It can be an actual Pokémon or one that exists only in your imagination. Honestly, I won't know the difference."
INSIDER caught up with Sam to learn more about his Pokémon doodles and what is now the highest-voted post on /r/ICanDrawThat of all time.
Scroll down for a look at his creations.
The inspiration for his offer came from Sam's penchant for doodling "nonsense words."
Netwoodle/Pokemon Company"Although I really enjoy doodling, I'm not one of those people that can draw absolutely anything," Sam tells INSIDER. "As long as I keep away from trying to draw something that has ever existed, I do OK."
Netwoodle/Pokemon CompanySam was never into Pokémon, but knew enough to realize the character names are "more or less nonsense words."
