Last year, the official Pokémon company announced its new initiative, Project Snorlax – an adorable campaign focusing on everyone's favourite big sleepy guy. This week, Pokémon fans are being treated to a series of custom Snorlax illustrations inspired by iconic games from the franchise, with Snorlax at the forefront of the action.

As one of the best character designs in the Pokémon universe, I'm glad that Snorlax is finally getting some well-deserved appreciation. I've been loving the diverse range of action-packed illustrations, and I hope that Project Snorlax will continue to bring us more cute content.
