Okaymon is a math/art/music project that was inspired by my multi-decade love of the NBA and Pokémon. I've been working on this for a long, long time, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. There's a lot that has gone into this, too much to write in an IG post, so if you want to take a look head over to . Art by @simo__world

Herb Jones ( @yung.ch0 ) and his suffocating defense appear as Arbok for Okaymon.com. Illustrator - @simo__world Okaymon is a math/art/music project that was inspired by my multi-decade love of the NBA and Pokémon. - 17 Pokémon types (Fire, Water, Electric, etc.) were reimagined as basketball play styles like Heat Check, Flow, and Highlight. If you want to learn more head over to Okaymon.com but here's a "quick" breakdown of the project: - The 6 Pokémon attributes (HP, Atk, Def, Special Atk, Special Def, and Speed) were reimagined as basketball skills/attributes (Health, Inside O, Inside D, Perimeter O, Perimeter D, and…Speed). - Each of the new corresponding play styles and attributes were then defined by using a ton of camera tracking data and advanced metrics to create unique profiles that players could fit into depending on their own individual stats from dataset of around the last ~7 seasons. - All active NBA players and their associated data were then run through a sorting algorithm that showed how similar their own play style was to the newly defined Okaymon type play styles. - These players were then put through a second sorting algorithm that matched them to which of the original 151 Pokémon they are most similar to based on their peak play of the past ~7 seasons and corresponding types/play styles and attributes/skills. - After each player was matched to a Pokémon the list was cut down to the strongest matches, with some creative liberties being taken to break a few ties. - Concepts for what each player would look like if they became characters in this game world were written up and I was able to connect with some extremely talented illustrators to help bring those designs to life - just like this one! #pokemon #nba #basketball #illustration #herbjones #neworleanspelicans #nop #arbok #nbajpn #nbajapan #pokemonnba #nbaart #nbaillustration #nbafanart #pokemonfanart #ゴルバット #ポケモン #pokemontcg #pokemonart #noaiyabitch

In honor of the recent @pablotorrefindsout investigation(s), @pstorre joins Okaymon as the first non-player, media card. Pablo and PTFO have the absolute best sports / sports-adjacent podcast in the world right now, at least for my money, and including him without his permission in a fake game seemed only right.
