About
A paper version of the famous Pokemon!
I designed this a year or so ago while being bored in Geometry class. Be warned, it's not for the beginner! You should at least be able to fold a frog base (preferably from memory) before attempting this model.

finished model to be. -
Step 33. Sink one of the small flaps. Repeat on an
adjacent flap. -

flap side (it should be adjacent to this one). -
Step 88. Steps 6 and 7 completed.
-
Step 99. Flatten the middle part.

is vaguely similar to making a kite base. -

line! Then fold the tip of the belly flap to the
edge of the two folded corners. -
Step 3434. Step 33 completed.

Step 3535. Reverse fold the feet and mountain fold
the sides to narrow them. -
Step 3636. Open the feet up and fold the tip inside
to shorten them. -

have also been reverse folded. -
Step 3838. Turn the model over and rabbit-ear the
tail. -
Step 3939. Mountain fold the sides of the back.
-
Step 4040. Open up the tip of the tail, curve it, valley
fold the feet forward and you have.... -

I always wondered HOW people just MADE UP an entirely new creature with origami. Are you just fooling around and it ended up making something, or do you actually set out to do a certain thing?
Maybe you could name the sides or just add left-right-descriptions....
