Pokémon Gogh    

Pokémon is partnering with the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to teach youngsters about the work of one of the Netherlands’ most famous artists. A number of Pokémon-themed exhibits will run at the Van Gogh Museum from Thursday as part of the museum’s 50th anniversary celebrations. And yes, they include various Pokémon characters rendered in van Gogh's iconic post-impressionist style. Van Gogh was himself a great admirer of Japanese art.
