When | draw, | always try to put the elements of amazement and excitement into my comics. so that one would feel as if he is playing a computer game. This book contains comics which | drew by stretching my imagination, posting myself with questions like “What kind of place will be suitable for this Pokémon to stay?" "Is this weapon something like this?" etc. So, let's start our journey with Red, with an aim to complete the collection of Fokémon!!Bringing to you the excitement and amazement of computer games through comics based on original stories! Young boy Red adores the Pokémon and decides to start a great adventure, with his wisdom, courage and love towards Pokémon as his weapons. And his dream is to become the ultimate Pokémon Trainer!
