This magazine is inspired by Pokémon. Unlike the Pachirisu project, this project is written with current fans in mind. When researching any existing Pokémon magazines, the only ones I could find were unofficial trading card game magazines from the 90's, which are outdated in terms of both information and layout. I wanted to bring a modern flair.
Volt Tackle is the name of the magazine because that is the name of a special attack that only Pikachu can use. I leaned in more on the crackly, electric design elements like the font for the title.
One of the articles in the magazine. I wrote all of the articles myself for Volt Tackle. This one talks about why I think the Alola games are not as bad as fans say they were. I included some photos that I took in my game, and the others are official art.
