Clearly it's nearly impossible to catch 'em all, but designer Michael Meyers does his best in this series of Pokémon illustrations inspired by Russian nesting dolls.

Titled, "Poketryoshka," a playful nod to matryoshka, the series depicts each form of the pocket monster, captured within a Poké Ball. For instance, Raichu gives way to Pikachu, which reveals Pichu.
