A Pokemon player shows off a piece of cross stitch featuring Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and Pikachu. The starter pocket monsters have always held a special place in the hearts of trainers, especially since they are the first three creatures that are received at the beginning of a playthrough of every entry in the RPG series. Starter Pokemon have always been popular and are usually the first creatures of a Generation to be revealed.
Some of the most well known starters are from the first Generation of the series. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander from Pokemon Red and Blue were the first pocket monsters for many fans of the franchise, and have some of the most recognizable evolutions in the series. One gamer decided to celebrate the holidays with the three starters in a piece of Christmas-themed art.
A Reddit user named jillianjiggs92 posted an image of a piece of cross stitch featuring the first three starting Pokemon and Pikachu. The work shows Squirtle, Charmander, and Pikachu decorating Bulbasaur like a Christmas tree. Lights powered by the electric mouse are being wrapped around the Grass/Poison-Type, while a decorative star stands on top of its bulb. A red and green pattern sits on the top and bottom of the piece, helping give it a holiday flair. The work is incredibly cute and is a good way of ringing in Christmas.
A few Redditors agreed that jillianjiggs92's Pokemon cross stitch is adorable. One fan stated that they want the piece of cross stitch, while another complimented jillianjiggs92 by telling them that they have skills. One user even joked that the piece now contains a "Christmas light bulb(asaur)." The cross stitch is delightful and is perfect for celebrating Christmas with a franchise that many love.
A number of players will be enjoying the holidays with video games, as a number of titles such as Overwatch 2 will hold Christmas events. Gamers will also be able to celebrate with their favorite characters in real life, as they decorate trees or create holiday themed artwork aiming to bring a bit of joy to this time of year. Video games have become a hobby that transcends beyond what is seen on a screen and help bring some happiness to fans all over the world. Many like to celebrate with the things that they love, especially when it comes to using their favorite characters to get a little festive. Hopefully more artists will channel their holiday spirit in the manner that jillianjiggs92 did and keep using gaming to help players celebrate the season.
