Did you know? The first Pokémon games, Red and Green (later released as Pokémon Red and Blue outside of Japan), were initially intended for release on the Game Boy Color but were instead released on the original Game Boy due to development time constraints. This decision helped establish the success of the franchise in its early days.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five different coloring ideas for the Pikachu image:
• 1. Coloring by Shape: Color each part of the Pokémon separately, using a different color for each shape. For example, use one color for the ears and another for the body.
• 2. Rainbow Effect: Use an assortment of colors to create a rainbow effect on the entire image. Choose bright colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
• 3. Shading Techniques: Create shading techniques by using various shades of gray or darkening a color with black. You can use different shades of gray to create depth in your coloring.
• 4. Monochrome Coloring: Color the entire image using one solid color. This is an excellent way to practice staying within lines and making sure your coloring is consistent throughout the image.
