Editorial statement

A lovely, whimsical paper. The spread, depth and longevity of interest in Pokémon across the world give this paper a rare opportunity to broadcast our interest as geoscientists in the minerals that make up our planets. It may stimulate interest about the Earth in young minds and perhaps even feed back into design within the Pokémon world.
