Over the years, gamers have mashed together different franchises to create unique pieces of art, and oftentimes players will draw one series in the artistic style of another. One artist has done just that, bringing Pokemon together with a beloved animated film.
Over the years Pokemon has been mixed with different movies and video games. Artists like taking the pocket monsters and imagining what they would look like in different art styles. One artist took a number of Pokemon and imagined what they would look like in the world of Lilo and Stitch.
A Redditor by the name of Troytheartboy mixed Pokemon with the Lilo and Stitch film, drawing seven Pokemon in the movie's style: Lapras, Sneasel, Quagsire, Wigglytuff, Charmander, Sandslash, Cyndaquil. All the Pokemon were drawn as experiments similar to Stitch, with certain aspects being changed or exaggerated in order to make them fit the style.
Some characteristics of the Pokemon that Troytheartboy drew were maintained, such as Sneasel's forehead gem and Wigglytuff's tuft of fur at the top of its head. The artist did make some changes in order to ensure the Pokemon fit the Lilo and Stitch look. This includes giving Quagsire a nose, adding toes to Lapras' fins, and giving Sandslash exaggerated ears. The drawings are a beautiful mixture of the two properties, with each Pokemon having an adorableness that the Lilo and Stitch film captures very well.
Troytheartboy's drawings have garnered a number of fans. Many find the renditions to be cute, and state that they love the mixture of Pokemon and Lilo and Stitch, as they were both a part of their childhoods. Many made the request for Troytheartboy to continue and draw more Pokemon in this art style. One fan loved that the artist kept what made every Pokemon distinct while also making them look like experiments from the film. Many agree that this was a very good concept and applaud the artist for their work.
Lilo and Stitch is not the only franchise that Pokemon has been melded with. One Pokemon fan mixed together the iconic series with Monster Hunter. An artist by the handle Xezeno took the Pokemon Garchomp and drew it as a monster from Monster Hunter, turning it into quite the beast. Xezeno took Garchomp's normal smooth textures and turned them into jagged scales, as well as increasing the size of the Pokemon's horns and tail. They also added more spikes to Garchomp's arms and legs, and increased the size of the Pokemon's fangs. This version of Garchomp is quite the beast, and would be a dangerous opponent for any hunter to go against.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release in 2022 for Nintendo Switch.
