Pokémon: Gotta Catch All The Info

 

For my infographic, I decided to do Pokémon, as it is a series that is very near and dear to my heart. One of the pieces of data I collected was sales info of the main series games. This is fairly obvious as it shows how the series is doing. I left out spin-offs and "improved" (third versions of titles) as spin-offs not being representative of the main series and improved versions having misleadingly lower numbers due to people already having the first versions. Second was typing of Pokémon, because Type is a major factor in all aspects of the games and I thought it would be interesting to see the relative frequency of each one. Water and Normal ended up being surprisingly common compared to most of the types. Going deeper into type, my next chart was on the relative frequency of the top 4 types based on regions. Lastly I did usage, as there is always the lingering question of what the most popular Pokémon is. Based on usage statistics, it turns out that (at least competitively) Politoed is incredibly popular! Pokémon is awesome to research about because (no pun intended) it is an ever-evolving series. 

Deathmetal

Deathmetal wasn't always an antihero cyborg. He used to go under the name Vladmir, working as a soldier in Russia. One day, a horrible accident left Vladmir in critical condition and a loss of limbs. A mysterious scientist whisked Vlad away and performed the first experiments with his newfound technologies, making Vlad a living prototype of cyborg tech. Miraculously, the experiments succeeded, leaving Vladmir with newfound power, speed and abilities. There's trouble in paradise however, as Vlad is reliant on his technology to sustain his life and abilities.

Using his new powers, Vlad escapes from the scientist and ditches his identity in favor of the moniker Deathmetal. Deathmetal journeyed the Earth dealing out his own sense of justice (despite being labeled as cruel or even a villain by the public). Over time he masters and even upgrades his equipment.

The scientist was none to happy, nor the Russian government. Working for Russia, he uses one of their spies to counteract Deathmetal. Agent Abdulov, a top spy, was given much more enhanced and refined versions of Deathmetal's technology. In addition, he knows the ins and outs of Deathmetal's tech. Abdulov's sole mission: stop or destroy Deathmetal. The only way Deathmetal can face this greater force is to use his own brains and creative abilities to stop Abdulov.
