Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science partners with Pokémon to create a Pokémon Fossil Exhibition that compares monsters to dinosaurs.
Pokémon It's fun and educational, as evidenced by the franchise's latest collaboration with the National Museum of Nature and Science in Japan. The museum recently announced a new traveling Pokémon Fossil Exhibition, where attendees can learn about the real-life prehistoric creatures that inspired some of the most beloved Pokémon characters. The “Pokémon Fossil Museum” will go to various museums across Japan over the next year.
The Pokémon Company is celebrating 25 years of the famous franchise in 2021, making this the perfect year to take a look at the history of the fictional creatures and their real-life inspirations. As fans know, the Pokémon lineup has grown over the past two decades from 151 monsters to over 800. Each new generation offers players new regions to explore and discover never-before-seen creatures. Many of these monsters bear similarities to real-life animals – some may be more recognizable than others. The Tyrunt and Tyrantrum line, for example, closely resembles a Tyrannosaurus. Although a less obvious resemblance, Lileep and Cradily were inspired by fossilized Sea Lillies.
