How to Print Like a Pro

Getting the Best Results:

First, choose your paper wisely. Standard printer paper works fine, but for a premium feel, try cardstock or heavyweight matte paper—they prevent colors from bleeding through. Next, check your printer settings. Switch to “Best” or “High” quality for crisp lines and clear details.

For larger coloring pages, don’t hesitate to use your printer’s enlargement feature. Most pages look fantastic printed at 150-200% of the original size. Pro tip: if you want to preserve the original file, download multiple copies so you can experiment with different coloring techniques without worry.


Coloring Tips & Techniques

For Younger Colorers

Keep it simple. Encourage kids to pick 2-3 favorite colors per Pokemon and have fun. There’s no “wrong” way to color—let their imagination run wild! Thick crayons or chunky markers work best for small hands.

For Adults & Advanced Artists

Try blending colors where they meet to create smooth transitions. Use colored pencils for detailed shading and highlights. Experiment with different pressure levels to create depth. Shadow one side of each Pokemon to give them dimension and make them pop off the page.

Bonus technique: Layer light colors first, then add darker tones on top. This creates professional-looking results that’ll make you proud.


Pokemon Character Spotlight

Understanding Pokemon Generations

Each generation introduces new regions, characters, and creatures. Gen 1 features the Kanto region, while Gen 2 takes you to Johto. Understanding a Pokemon’s generation helps you connect with the character’s story—making your coloring experience even more meaningful.
