A few hours ago, the childhood dream of thousands of children around the world was fulfilled: to see Ash Ketchum become the best Pokémon trainer in the world. As if it were a real event, dozens of personalities and organizations around the world are congratulating the young man from Pueblo Paleta… even the UNAM!
A few hours ago, the Department of Science Dissemination of the Autonomous University of Mexico congratulated Ash Ketchum for his triumph in the most recent chapter of the Pokémon anime. Of course, the department took the opportunity to link the cartoon with its ideals, so it made an interesting infographic about some Pokémon that are based on real-life animals.
As you may have already known, Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokémon, loved collecting insects as a child, and that’s where his idea of creating a game in which you could collect monsters and carry them in your pocket was born. Below you can see the infographic, which reveals that Caterpillie is based on a tiger swallowtail butterfly caterpillar; Sandslash on a pangolin; Mudkip and Wooper on a Mexican axolotl; Drowsee on a Malaysian tapir and more. In addition, each of the slides includes a few interesting facts about each species. Check them out!
So far, the post has more than 2000 reactions, more than 2000 shares and thousands of comments. In addition, many people are applying for a 2nd. part, considering how interesting the content. And if the department wanted to, of course it could do it. After all, today there are more than 1000 Pokémon to meet!
