0028 - Sandslash - Ground Type This guy looks sharp! If he was blue, he’d almost look like Sonic the Hedgehog! #pokemon #pokémon #Sandslash #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0027 - Sandshrew - Ground Type Just a cute little sandy guy! I love this one and his ice variant! #pokemon #pokémon #Sandshrew #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0026 - Raichu - Electric Type Definitely not as cute as Pikachu, but still cute - I would always have to catch a second Pikachu to evolve for my Pokédex, but that’s usually the only reason I’d have a Raichu #pokemon #pokémon #Raichu #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0025 - Pikachu - Electric Type My absolute favorite Pokémon!⚡️ I chose to do the classic round Pikachu design we were first introduced to back in the Red & Blue days - love this round little electric mouse! #pokemon #pokémon #Pikachu #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0024 - Arbok - Poison Type Who doesn't love a big cobra? #pokemon #pokémon #Arbok #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0023 - Ekans - Poison Type I think these little guys are cute! But better have an antidote handy in case your Pokémon get bit… #pokemon #pokémon #Ekans #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0022 - Fearow - Normal/Flying Screeech! Yeah, not my favorite Gen 1 Pokémon design… #pokemon #pokémon #Fearow #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0021 - Spearow - Normal/Flying While I like this design over Pidgey, I almost never keep a Spearow in my party because I don’t live its evolution- which you’ll see soon… #pokemon #pokémon #Spearow #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0020 - Raticate - Normal Type This round little guy might look cute, but watch out for it’s hyper-fang! #pokemon #pokémon #Raticate #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0019 - Rattata - Dark/Normal Type They’re all over in the long grass of Kanto. If your first wild encounter wasn’t a Pidgey, it’d be one of these guys! #pokemon #pokémon #Rattata #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0018 - Pidgeot - Normal/Flying Type I have one of these guys on my team in LeafGreen - super reliable bird! #pokemon #pokémon #Pidgeot #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0017 - Pidgeotto - Normal/Flying Type Pidgey’s grumpy older brother #pokemon #pokémon #Pidgeotto #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0016 - Pidgey - Normal/Flying Type These guys are absolutely EVERYWHERE in Kanto - chances are, if you’re playing a Gen 1 game, a Pidgey was your first wild encounter - that or one of those rat guys you’ll be seeing soon… #pokemon #pokémon #Pidgey #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0015 - Beedrill - Bug/Poison Type From little spikey boi to big spikey boi. I definitely wouldn’t want to run into one of these in a dark Viridian Forest! #pokemon #pokémon #Beedrill #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0014 - Kakuna - Bug/Poison Type Shed your skin and become something more #pokemon #pokémon #Kakuna #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0013 - Weedle - Bug/Poison Type Spikey little boi #pokemon #pokémon #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0012 - Butterfree - Bug/Flying Type I love this little bug! Such an absolute cutie! #pokemon #pokémon #Butterfree #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0011 - Metapod - Bug Type Sometimes, in order to become something beautiful, you must cocoon yourself in order to have protection while going through transformation #pokemon #pokémon #Metapod #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0010 - Caterpie - Bug Type What a cutie! #pokemon #pokémon #Caterpie #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0009 Blastoise - Water Type One of my absolute favorites! She's almost always in my party. Wanted to do her justice #pokemon #pokémon #Blastoise #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0008 - Wartortle - Water Type I love her fluffy tail! And her blushing cheeks! #pokémon #pokemon #Wartortle #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0007 - Squirtle - Water Type Squirtle has been my starter since | played Red as a kid. I reset my game several times in LeafGreen on the Switch just to get a female Squirtle. I really hope you like her! #pokemon #pokémon #Squirtle #pokemon30 #pokemongen1

0006 - Charizard - Fire/Flying Type I know this guy is a lot of people's favorites from Gen 1, so I tried to do him justice. Did I succeed? Hope y'all like the dragon-like non-dragon-type Pokémon! #pokémon #pokemon #Charizard #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0005 - Charmeleon - Fire Type This guy always looked like a real scoundrel to me - like he's up to no good. Love the design of the little horn on the back of his head. #pokémon #pokemon #Charmeleon #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0004 - Charmander - Fire Type What a cute little fire-hazard! #pokémon #pokemon #Charmander #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0003 - Venusaur - Grass/Poison Type Love this big toad with a palm tree on his back! Just a cool classic Pokémon design! #pokémon #pokemon #Venusaur #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0002 - Ivysaur - Grass/Poison Type Most Pokémon have middle-stage evolutions that are pretty awkward, but I like Ivysaur and his pink flower bud! #pokémon #pokemon #Bulbasaur #pokemongen1 #pokemon30

0001 Bulbasaur - Grass Type This begins my 151 days of Pokémon! Bulbasaur was not usually who l'd pick as my starter in Gen 1, but he's very cute all the same! Look forward to the next pocket monster tomorrow! #pokémon #pokemon #Bulbasaur #pokemongen1 #pokemon30 #pokemonanniversary

Happy 30th Anniversary to Pokémon! For the next 151 days I will be posting drawings of the original pocket monsters! I'm off to go explore Kanto in Pokémon LeafGreen! Feel free to share your favorite Pokémon in the comments below! #pokémon #pokémon30 #pokémonanniversary #pokémongen1
