    The lack of Pokemon to draw can also be a bit of a turn-off for some, but the Free Paint mode’s ability to use a blank canvas or any picture on your SD card can help alleviate that a bit.

    Other than the fleeting moments of marveling at your finished renderings of numerous Ken Sugimori-designed creatures, the game offers little long-term rewards for your time invested in its whimsical workshops.

    There's a very specific sort of audience that will gleefully devour Pokémon Art Academy, however, and I surmise that these players will only be interested in learning more about the craft, with elements that attract "regular" Pokémon fans acting as icing on the cake.
