Dear fellow papercrafters,

As we’re sure a few of you have noticed lately, model posting has kind of slowed below the expected schedule that we have kept since the start. A lot has been going around in our lives and the situation has led the team to be a little low on time, organization and even will to go on lately... And sadly, after talking together, we came to the conclusion that it won't be changing any time soon.

Thus, after mutual agreement, we decided that we are not going to post models regularly anymore and also decided to take a break for a little while. We can tell you that there will be new models, just not when or how many. Of course, models already on the site will stay up and still be accessible.

When we started Paperpokés, we were a bunch of friends who decided to get together and create things solely for the pure enjoyment of making Pokémon papercraft models. As sad as it can sound, a while ago we lost track of those simple reasons and started to view it not as a hobby, but as a job, where we had to produce new stuff before each deadlines even when we didn’t feel like it. This situation pretty much made each of us lose interest in making papercrafts one by one…

Thank you everyone who encouraged us and followed us every Monday. We appreciate all of that and everyone who gave us the push to keep going for as long as we did. Without some support and encouragement, we wouldn't have even made it this far.

However, as we said, sometimes the responsibility is too much, and we can't manage it. It was fun while it lasted, and it did indeed last for a long time (4 years in December) but everything must come to an end.

We're just sorry it was so soon and abrupt.

- The Paperpokés Team

I just realized that all the Grass type starters have resemblance on dinosaurs. While the water type starters are animals that both stay on water and land. And the fire type starters are based on the Chinese Zodiac Signs although they're Japanese.

Nothing else to say except that these are amazing. I can't help but want to try these all, but I suck at paper crafts. I don't have the patience or skill. :(

But keep up the amazing work, I've loved Pokemon ever since I was 4, and I'm 17 now (well, I loved it until sinnoh, then it just got dissapointing).

Just remember that sucking at something is the first step to be being kinda good at it.

We would recommend you find a "tacky craft glue" which are readily available in most countries in craft or some stationery stores.
The trick is to wait a couple of seconds for the glue to become tacky, before pressing the two sides of paper together.
