A Pokemon fan made a crochet doll of one of the series' Fire-Type starters, Cyndaquil. Game Freak's RPGs have been an inspiration for art for years, with gamers expressing their love of the series through a number of different mediums. This has included Pokemon themed paintings and animations that feature players' favorite pocket monsters.
One particular type of artwork that gamers have been using to celebrate Pokemon is crochet. Many fans have stitched together a number of the creatures over the years, creating cute renditions of the pocket monsters. One player put together a crochet doll of one of the starters from Pokemon's second Generation.
A Reddit user named ConstanzaL shared an image of a Cyndaquil they stitched together. The doll of the Fire-Type starter Pokemon captures it incredibly well, even including small details such as the white tips that it has at the ends of its hind feet. ConstanzaL also included flared out fabric for the fire that comes off of the pocket monster's back, creating an awesome effect that simulates it quite well. The doll is adorable and helps showcase why so many gamers love the starter.
Reddit users are enjoying ConstanzaL's crochet Cyndaquil. This has led to commenters asking the artist if they do commissions, to which they responded that they do sometimes. They were also questioned on whose pattern was used, to which ConstanzaL said that they used their own. The fire effect on the back of the Pokemon is also receiving praise, which ConstanzaL said they are thankful for as it took them forever to make. The doll is incredibly well done and would be perfect for anyone who loves Fire-Type pocket monsters.
Cyndaquil first debuted in Pokemon Gold and Silver alongside Chikorita and Totodile. It was also one of the starting pocket monsters that can be chosen in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava, which in turn becomes Typhlosion. Though it was originally a pure Fire-Type creature when it debuted, Typhlosion was given a Ghost-Typing in Pokemon Legends: Arceus as a regional variation for Hisui. In the anime, Ash and Dawn each owned a Cyndaquil, both of which eventually evolved into a Quilava. The Pokemon was summonable through the Pokeball item in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but only appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. ConstanzaL's Cyndaquil doll does a good job of capturing the cuteness that has led to many gamers falling in love with the pocket monster and keeping it as a team member in the games.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18 for the Nintendo Switch.
