Casey Meehan, a lifelong Pokémon fan, created a 96-painting mosaic in honor of the franchise's 30th anniversary. The project, which features an individual painting of every Pokémon from the most recent video game in the series, was on display at Anubis Games and Hobbies in Lafayette, Louisiana for one month leading up to the official Pokémon Day anniversary. Meehan is now selling and raffling off the paintings individually to collectors and fans, with the hope that the owners will connect with one another through their shared interest in the franchise.

Why it matters

Pokémon has been a beloved franchise for three decades, with a dedicated fan base around the world. This mosaic project not only celebrates the longevity of the series, but also showcases the creativity and passion of its fans. By allowing the paintings to be dispersed, Meehan hopes to foster a sense of community among Pokémon enthusiasts.

The details

Meehan, a lifelong Pokémon fan, created the massive 96-painting mosaic as a tribute to the franchise's 30th anniversary. The project features an individual painting of every Pokémon from the most recent video game in the series. Meehan was inspired by the work of local artist Tony Bernard, who is known for his Blue Dog art series, and decided to take a different approach by allowing his pieces to be separated and sold or raffled off individually.

  • Meehan displayed the completed mosaic at Anubis Games and Hobbies for one month leading up to the official Pokémon Day anniversary on February 27, 2026.
  • The 96 paintings are being sold and raffled individually to collectors and fans on Pokémon Day, February 27, 2026.

“Today on Pokémon Day, because it's been on display for one month, we're dispersing it. So, one day a Pokémon master or art collector can catch them all. I hope they get to meet new friends and talk about Pokémon and I mean a picture is worth a thousand words and with more than 100 paintings here, you do the math.”
