Photos from the “Pokémon Natural History Museum” pop-up at Los Angeles Comic-Con! The Alf Museum, Western Science Center, and the Cosplay for Science Initiative partnered together to bring a unique spin on SciComm to comic con and show attendees how science and paleontology inspired the world of Pokemon! Every fossil we brought to the convention was the same kind of fossil that inspired a Pokemon in the video game and anime. #event

  So creative!! What were some of the fossil-inspired Pokémon that people were most excited to learn about?

  Most people were wowed by the giant Mastodon skull we had at the front of the booth to represent the twin tusk Pokemon, Mamoswine, but when they entered the booth everyone was really fascinated to learn more about our Paleozoic specimens like our crinoids, which inspired the Pokémon Lileep and Cradily! They were even more surprised to learn that crinoids are still around today!
