ALT A digital sketch of the player character “Ethan” from the “Pokémon” video game series. The sketch is in full colour with the outfit drawn in mostly reds and yellows. Ethan wears a backwards cap, an oversized hoodie, large shorts, sneakers, a backpack, a Pokeball attached to the right of his hoodie, and a wristwatch-type device on his left sleeve. He is drawn from below so that the viewer looks upwards towards him as he appears to be in a “falling” motion. Two red Pokeballs are falling in the air to the left of the image, one more on the right, and a third one close enough to the viewer that it appears larger and out of focus. A Great ball, which is blue, hangs in the air to Ethan’s right shoulder, close to where a Pikachu is also drawn in a falling motion with a surprised expression. Ethan and Pikachu are surrounded by a ring of “Unown” Pokémon which resemble characters of the alphabet.
