For Pokemon lovers, 2022 has been a fantastic year. It began with the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which became one of the top three best-selling games of 2022, and in February, the first trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was made public. Since then, fans have been impatiently awaiting the debut of the highly anticipated ninth generation of the mainline video game series. Members of the Pokemon community are flooding the internet with fascinating works of fan art as the release of the newest edition of Pokemon games approaches.
Fans enjoy producing works of art that feature their preferred regions, gym trainers, and pocket monsters. Some fans also enjoy recreating situations from their favorite games or television shows from the franchise in their artwork to convey their affection. The newly revealed regions and pocket monsters of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the subjects of the majority of recent fan art. However, some fans also share the artwork of their favorite Pokemon from earlier generations. A fan on Reddit has published an image that recreates an iconic moment from Pokemon Emerald.
Reddit user arkhai2 has created pixel art featuring Mudkip and Rayquaza in the Sky Pillar. Mudkip is a small, quadrupedal Water-type Pokemon, and along with Treecko and Torchic, it is one of three Hoenn starter Pokemon available at the beginning of Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. On the other hand, Rayquaza, also known as the "Sky High Pokemon,” is a large green Dragon/Flying Legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation 3 that was the mascot of Pokemon Emerald and featured on the game's box art.
Hi! just sharing this art piece that i did.. i really love this part in pokemon emerald where i meet rayquaza. from pokemon
In the art piece, Mudkip, along with the trainer, is ready to take on Rayquaza at the entrance of the Sky Pillar. Arkhai2 has managed to capture fine details of both pocket monsters featured in their pixel art. The original Reddit post garnered a lot of love from the Pokemon community and got 12,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments in just one day. Most of the fans in the comments sections appreciated the creator’s art skills, while others reminisced about their childhood days. Many pointed out the inclusion of Ash instead of Brendan, the male player character in the third generation of Pokemon games.
Pokemon fans are fortunate since such fan artworks frequently remind them of pocket monsters from earlier editions. Recently, a talented fan designed their version of Bulbasaur and its evolved versions, bringing back fond memories of the adorable creature from Generation 1. These fan artworks are always comforting because they demonstrate how devoted fans will not allow the world to forget about their favorite Pokemon.
