WIP sketch for a project I've been thinking about this week
Fun Pokégear fact!
Silph Co. began developing the first very model of Pokégear in 1996.
Originally, Pokégear was meant to have an integrated Pokédex. However, due to technological limitations at the time, the Pokégear's hardware did not allow enough storage space or memory to store a complete Pokédex's worth of data, while keeping its functionality as a phone.
The original design faced several other major problems, such as the tendency for the battery to overheat, sometimes causing the CPU to quite literally melt. This idea was scrapped, and the very first design for Pokégear never saw the light of day.
The first publicly available Pokégear model was released in 1998, and did not have these issues. Due to rapid technological advancements, it would have been able to contain an integrated Pokédex. Despite this, Silph Co. had abandoned the idea entirely, and instead adapted a radio card specifically for their newest gadget.
