Don’t you just love it when real world historical figures fit well with fictional pocket monsters? Artist Brandon Dayton certainly thinks so as he depicts some of America’s iconic presidents, (truthfully I knew who like 4 of these were meant to be) as Pokémon!
Chopped down a cherry tree? George Warshingtortle ‘Skull Bashed’ them down! Four score and seven years Abraham Lickitung could have ‘Body Slammed’ his way through the Gettysburg address! Don’t even get me started on the antics Richarizard Nixon got up to in his time!
Brandon is an artist, illustrator and animator working out of Salt Lake City, Utah in the US.

Editor-in-Chief, part-time super villain and hoarder of cats. If you can’t find me writing, I’m probably in the kitchen!
