Kids can remember hundreds of Pokemon characters but very few animals. The solution? The Phylomon Project is an open source initiative aiming to make Pokemon-type cards for actual animals.
This is a great idea, except for the fact that “African Fire Millipede, I choose you!” doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it as “Go, Pikachu!” But, in all seriousness, it’s brilliant.
