Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri says the series was inspired by his childhood hobby of insect collecting, and since the series needed hundreds of character designs Pokémon inevitably included animals too.
But Satoshi probably didn't spent nearly as much time thinking about the inner workings of Pokémon as illustrator Christopher Stoll, who is now sharing his anatomical findings with the world.
Christopher's series PokéNatomy reveals not only the stuff that lies beneath the skin of each Pokémon species but also includes information on their diets, mating habits, social structure and more.
