Product Description

Pokmon fans can bring their favorite creatures to life with this colorful origami kit. Preprinted paper and instructions direct readers in creating three-dimensional figures of Ash Ketchum, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Eevee, Zubat, and other favorite Pokmon, as well as readers' own characters. The Pokmon phenomenon is based on the Nintendo Game Boy adventure, which sets players on a quest to collect all 150 Pokmon creatures - an eclectic assortment of animal, vegetable, mineral, and out-of-this- world characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Paper with printed characters folds almost into Pokemon, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This book has about 30 or so pages with pokemon characters printed on. Most of the characters are duplicated twice (for example, Meowth with his eyes open on one page and shut on another). You tear out the pages and fold them into shapes that don't look too much like the pokemon, but are kind of close. The printed characters aren't quite centered, so you have the option of either making your character lopsided, or having the picture not line up to the folds. Having said all that, my 6-year old son likes the finished characters. I was looking for more realistic pokemon shapes though. If they hadn't pre-printed the characters on the pages, you wouldn't recognize the pokemon character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to origami, December 27, 2000

By	"lhs1701" (Singapore, Singapore Singapore) - See all my reviews

This book has pokemon characters printed on, usually two, with a slightly different look usually with the eyes. You tear out the paper, cut and fold it. The paper is not quite square the the picture is not exact. A lot adjusting to fit the colours is required. There is a lot of cutting involved but the folding is very simple. The final shape is very simple too and not easily recognisable if there is no picture of the pokemon on it. The picture can be just a face or full and need mounting on a flat surface for it to look good since generally it cannot stand. Recommended as an introduction to origami for children who likes pokemons.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is OK., July 2, 1999

By A Customer

It is very confusing, but very cool. Even though the Pokemon don't look like what they are in the show, it is a good book.
