Its pretty! Keep up the awesome work!
Quick little question. About how much time in a day/week do you spend on the project? I've started the Epic Pokemon Gen 1, and my plan is to give it to my little sister (not related, but we have been best friends for over 12 years) for christmas since we met over a holographic charizard card. I'm just unsure how to budget my time without suffering from burnout.

It really depends on how much i end up working in a given week. If I end up with 4 days or so off i can get about 40-50 hours of stitching done over the course of the week. When i'm at 2 days off, i usually get 20 hours in. In short, busy week, i can get 1 page stitched, slow week, i can get 2 pages done.

This is amazing. And you are working so fast! The black at the bottom really makes the Pokemon pop. I love this project.

So my goal was to have another complete row done by the time my parents got back from vacation. That's in 3 weeks, and I don't even have a whole page from the third row done yet! Goodbye WoW, hello stitching! At least until i get some serious progress.

Got a bit more work done on my pokemon, but with quilt squares and challenges and work, its been a little neglected lately.

Wow, and I thought the Gen 1 Epic Pokemon pattern was crazy! I couldn't imagine tackling a project like this, but I cheer on everybody who does!

Heck do I understand that! SO many projects so little time!

Normally I am a "one thing at a time" person. I finish a book before i start the next one, same with games are cross stitching. But if i don't put this aside to do other things i am going to hate it very quickly! Its a challenge but im comming to terms with the multi-tasking! XD

So after over a month of other projects, i finally got some work done on this piece. The third row is nearly half finished.

Nice. It looks like the pokemon are going to jump right off the fabric, the colors stand out so much.
