A talented Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan has created fan art envisioning a Paradox form for the Pokemon Gothitelle. The Paradox forms from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have inspired many Pokemon artists' creativity. Imagining what a Pokemon might look like from the past or future is an excellent creative exercise, after all. This latest Paradox form fanart exploring what a future version of Gothitelle is just the latest excellent example of these fans' creations.Paradox forms are a new mechanic introduced with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Scarlet is associated with ancient Pokemon, while Violet is associated with future Pokemon, as both games revolve around some light time travel. As interesting as Paradox forms may be, Game Freak was rather restrained with implementation. Only around 16 Paradox forms were introduced with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. That's proven a boon, however, as it allows fans to create their own Paradox forms for their favorite Pokemon.Artist and Pokemon fan Delta1Dan has done just that, creating a custom Paradox form for the Pokemon Gothitelle. Gothitelle was first introduced to the Pokemon franchise in its fifth generation of games, Pokemon Black and White. It's a Psychic-type Pokemon that evolves from Gothorita, with the appearance of a girl in a long Gothic lolita-style dress adorned with multiple ribbons. Delta1Dan wanted to show what a future version of Gothitelle might look like.
For the most part, Delta1Dan didn't stray far from the original Gothitelle design for his Paradox form of the Pokemon. He simply transformed Gothitelle into a robotic version of itself. Gothitelle's face has become a screen with pixel irises and lips. Its dress is now sections of increasingly large black metal sheets with neon pink stripes. Its hands, as well as its unique hair design, now float away from Gothitelle's body and shine with a bright silver color. Instead of having feet, Gothitelle now floats above the ground -- which suits its Psychic abilities.
Delta1Dan's styling for Gothitelle matches Game Freak's in many ways. Game Freak largely didn't stray too far from original Pokemon designs for its futuristic Paradox forms. Instead, it designs the Pokemon as robots or with metallic anatomy. It's odd, but in the far future, all Pokemon will apparently become robot versions of themselves.
This isn't the first piece of Pokemon fan art that Delta1Dan has made. It's not the first Paradox form he's made, either. He's also made a very impressive Paradox form for Chandelure that he dubbed "Iron Bulb." Both their Chandelure and Gothitelle were made in Blender, with some inspiration taken from Fakemon artist n0rtist. It'll be interesting to see what other Pokemon they come up with in the future.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now on Switch.
