So this summer, I was thinking of doing something "constructive". I thought of doing that life sized papercraft Link from legend of zelda TP, but after seeing that it was 196 pages of pieces, I knew I would lose interest quickly. Then I came across PAPERPOKES! They have papercrafts of a selection of popular pokemon from each generation! The pieces are large, so you don't have to be a papercraft pro. Make sure you have plenty of paper, some pokemon have 8 or more pages of pieces. Also, as with any papercraft, card stock is helpful.
They have Pokemon from generations 1-4, but 4 doesn't have many papercrafts. There are also Doll versions of some pokemon, which have slight differences from the regular papercrafts. One more thing: They have pokeballs under the doll section. The first link is several different sizes of normal pokeballs, the second link has different types of pokeballs, ie master ball safari ball.
