There are over 900 Pokemon available to catch, train and battle at the time of writing, and more likely to be revealed alongside the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which recently released some brand new gameplay footage. One fan though, decided to dial back the clock, creating a huge mural to the game’s Gen 1 Pokemon out of beads. Though the bead art does have color, which means its lacking the black and white sprites that made it to the original Pokemon Red & Blue, the beads did recreate the pixelated design used up until 3D models were introduced alongside the Gen 6 releases....
