Pokemon Project Studio: Red Version
Description
Product description A superior graphics package, Pokémon Project Studio has
the added luck of featuring the hottest characters around. While kids will
just love to play with their favorite animal friends, parents will appreciate
the thought and planning needed to execute these artistic endeavors. Your
Pokémon fan can print out a total of 81 little Pokémon critters with this
printmaking program. (Combine with the Blue Version for all 151 characters.)
In addition to printing their favorite creatures, kids can also make Pokémon
banners, cards, signs, stickers, and more. Target System: Windows 95 or
Windows 98, 100MHz Pentium R processor or faster, 16MB RAM (32MB RAM
recommended), 90MB hard disk space, 2X CD-ROM drive or faster, 800×600
display; High Color (True Color supported), a (monochrome and color) printer
supported by Windows, and, optionally, on-line access for the Online Card
Project In a medium that often sees cheap, poorly done releases to
capitalize on the latest fad, Pokémon Project Studio is the real deal: a great
creativity toolkit for any child fan. The software is much like an adult’s
graphics application, with a look and feel like that of Photoshop. The
difference is that Studio is drenched in color, with vibrant characters
available to insert into every artistic project. For anyone who’s been
circling planet Earth rather than living on it, Pokémon is the rage with the
elementary-school set. To say that it’s a hot fad is a rabid understatement.
Kids love the Japanese Anime characters, based on a Nintendo pocket game. The
same sensibility permeates this licensed product, and it’s sure to satisfy.
The software offers both preconstructed projects and the ability to start from
scratch. The menu lists are dense with text, so for younger kids, parents will
need to be there for the first few hours of play. (After that, kids can easily
orient themselves to the corresponding colorful, icon-based buttons on the
interface). The main drawing board offers a wide variety of things to make:
birthday cards, stationery, postcards, and calendars. (Teachers and parents
may want to get this software for themselves–included are achievement awards
and banners that can easily be personalized.) Also included with the software
is Avery sticker paper–which can be refilled–and more substantive plastic
paper that can be baked in the oven after it’s been printed (a process similar
to making Shrinky Dinks). A superior graphics package, Pokémon Project Studio
has the added luck of featuring the hottest characters around. While kids will
just love to play with their favorite animal friends, parents will appreciate
the thought and planning needed to execute these artistic endeavors.

your creativity and imagination. Add the blue version to make them all. Review
Your Pokémon fan can print out a total of 81 little Pokémon critters with this
printmaking program. In addition to printing their favorite creatures, kids
can also make Pokémon banners, cards, signs, stickers, and more. The creation
process is clunky, but the final products turn out great. Note that there are
two versions of this program, Red and Blue, each letting you print 80+
characters. So, if your child is a real Pokémon fanatic, you’re going to need
both programs for a complete set. This seems a bit gimmicky, given the amount
of content vs. the price, not to mention that children’s interest in Pokémon
is likely to fade. Teaches: creativity, imagination Age Range: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
