Pokemon fans have been making artwork based on the series for years. Gamers enjoy showing their love for the franchise through their art, leading to really impressive pieces. There is a variety of different art forms that have been used by players, from paintings of Pokemon to custom figures.
One medium that has been used for Pokemon artwork is crochet. A number of talented artists have made crochet dolls of the various pocket monsters, creating cute works that many can enjoy. One Pokemon fan has even made an animation featuring a Water-type creature in crochet form.
A Redditor known as Kooale325 posted a short clip of an animation that they made featuring Pokemon X and Y starter Froakie. In the video, the pocket monster can be seen in crochet form, with two giant glass beads serving as eyes. The video shows the creature seemingly get startled by something off camera and then rub its cheek. The animation is short, but well done and rather adorable. Kooale325 writes that while they have not done a clip like this in a while, gamers can stay tuned for more Pokemon animations.
Kooale325's Froakie animation has gained a few fans. One commenter stated that the video was amazing and asked for more. A user mentioned that the clip seemed scarier than it should be, with another replying that while it was scary the animation was also cute. Another Redditor commented that the void stares back in the video, but also said that it was amazing work. Some fans might agree that Froakie's giant glass eyes are a little creepy, but it is cute regardless and enjoyable for many Pokemon lovers.
Kooale325 is just one artist making crochet projects based off of Game Freak's series. A Redditor named 1UpAshe posted an image of a crochet doll that they made of the Pokemon Lechonk. The piece does a great job of capturing the aspects of the pig Pokemon, including its rotund body, pink nose, and the yellow tears that come from its eyes. The user's profile states that they have a lot of experience in making crochet plush toys based on pocket monsters, with their Instragram and website showing off their latest projects. 1UpAshe also provides free patterns that others can follow to make their own dolls. The crochet Lechonk is cute and is a nice project for gamers to check out while they wait for the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release for the Nintendo Switch on November 18.
