The drawing style is weird, but I've seen it so many times. Rip-off or not, I think some of them are cute. Maybe the dude got INSPIRATION from pokemon, I know I did. And I love you Cobalt Latios. At least SOMEONE uses the cotton between their ears.

I remember seeing that in the store. I was tempted to buy it too just because of how bad it was. Origonal my eye. The best one I can trmember is the one that looks exactly like Swinub only it had tusks.

The best part is, they are in the EXACT same poses as some of the official pokemon art they are featured in. Copy paste anyone...?

But it's not all pokemon. I recognised some that resemble some other manga creatures a little too close for comfort.

Under no doubt. Those sprites are rip offs, plaguates, or new fakmon. That angel, soldier or what ever it is is'nt even that either. It must be a Fake Digimon

The laws in Japan have nothing on the laws over here. In fact, if this same situation happened here, there would no doubt be "lawsuits". That kind of thing doesn't happen in the "Eastern" countries. Remember that.

I don't remember a Pokemon resembling a woman with a large cannon thing and shiny armor... :/

Nor a six-armed cat thing and a half-winded mummy in a hat.

There's certainly no denying what I see. I see something that looks like Palkia, Hoothoot. And I can definitely see the Dragonair (Isn't its shiny form purple...) and Latias comparisons. It's pretty weird, but not close enough to become an act of plagiarism I would think.

I would additionally suggest that maturity be exercised as well, but clearly it's too late for that. :|

Now with one eyebrow
.... These are niether ripoffs nor original. You can base of of this kind of stuff. I do. But having diffrent types of drawings I'd say it might not be all his.

;116;: Ahh yes I can see the resemblence in most of those. The thing in the bottom right looks like a digimon... On Amazon.com there are pictures of numbers 49-52. I see Flareon
;025;: Yeah! well all I can see is a big fat loser who is copying Pokemon! Plagiarismist!

OMG lol, this guy has no shame. What surprises me is the fact that it's an "official" book and not something you'd find, say, in a chinese shop. XD
