A Pokemon fan has shared a different take on Mimikyu, showing the Pokemon in a Piplup disguise. With over 1,000 monsters presented over nine generations, it's understood that the Pokemon franchise has critters with diverse designs and stories. Despite this, few Pokemon are as distinctive as Mimikyu.
Artist Gives Pokemon McDonald's-Themed Makeovers

A Pokemon fan produced creative designs that transformed Mr. Mime, Grimer, Psyduck, Krookodile, Tangela, and Lunatone into McDonald's mascots. The Pokemon community is known for its immense creativity in giving new forms to its favorite critters. Every day, Pokemon fans create fan art, with some standing out for making mashups that go beyond the idea of turning Pokemon into other Pokemon.
In the past,Pokemon fan art has given Rayquaza, Koraidon, and Miraidon a Monster Hunter makeover, transforming the trio into fierce creatures in the style of the Capcom franchise. In an unexpected crossover, an imaginative Pokemon fan turned Gimmighoul into one of Ben 10's characters. Other designs shared by the community followed more nostalgic routes, combining Pokemon with Dragon Ball, and Yu-Gi-Oh, and turning the original trio of starters into Digimon. The Pokemon community is often surprising with its ideas, and this time a talented fan has given some critters iconic designs.
Reddit user Unibee_Art turned Mr. Mime, Grimer, Psyduck, Krookodile, Tangela, and Lunatone into the famous McDonald's mascots. With the amusing name «McVariants,» the fan art shows Mr. Mime is Ronald McDonald, given an outfit in the style of the clown who is McDonald's primary mascot. The artist combined Grimer and Grimace, Ronnie's best friend, in a clever twist as they both have the same color and very similar names. By mixing Birdie the Early Bird and Psyduck, the artist has given McDonald's first female mascot a Pokemon version with the same outfit as her counterpart.
The second half of the fan art shows Krookodile as Hamburglar, wearing a cape, hat, baggy tie, and colors generally reminiscent of the character. Tangela became one of the Fry Guys, a trio created to promote McDonald's fries made up of three pompoms, one blue, yellow, and red, with eyes and roller skates. The final design is Lunatone, a Gen 3 Pokemon that isn't exactly that useful, but which in the fan art became Mac Tonight, earning the praise of the other Redditors. Unlike the mascots created for children, Mac Tonight was introduced to promote evening meals for adults but only lasted a few years in the spotlight.
The «McVariants» created by Unibee_Art is an excellent homage to Pokemon for making an unexpected yet clever combo of two franchises that marked many people's childhoods. Although it doesn't officially exist, the fan art makes it easy for fans to imagine a crossover that extends past Pokemon toys as part of Happy Meals, bringing the characters from both brands together.
Pokemon is a franchise that needs no introduction. One of the most successful media empires in history, Pokemon spans games, television, films, manga, merchandise, music, and more.
