Baldur's Gate 3 Fan Puts Together Pokemon Teams for the Game's Companions

A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan has recently created an interesting chart detailing the Pokemon teams that all the companions in Larian Studios’ RPG would have if they existed in the same universe. It’s an interesting crossover between two popular franchises, giving Baldur’s Gate 3 fans a fun insight into how these characters could potentially behave in another universe.
Baldur’s Gate 3 was among the biggest hits of 2023. Not only did the game receive several awards and excellent reviews during the year, but Baldur’s Gate 3 also sold over 10 million copies, becoming Larian Studios’ best-seller.
Now, a BG3 fan decided to imagine the possible Pokemon teams of all the companions available in the game. In the chart, each team member received a group of six different Pokemon, which were supposed to match well with their personalities and fighting styles. While all fan creations such as this one are likely to spark fierce debate among fans of the franchises they involve, it’s possible to say that these are faithful picks. For instance, one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 companions, the tiefling barbarian Karlach, has a team that consists of mostly Fire and Fighting-type creatures, including Arcanine, Magby, Machamp, Incinearoar, Talonflame, and Haxorus.
The popular vampire rogue Astarion, for example, focuses more on Poison, Dark and Ghost-type creatures, which is a good fit. His team includes Crobat, Gengar, Froslass, Mightyena, Malamar, and Hydreigon. Another character with a team that is faithful to their concept is the elf druid Jaheira, who has a team of Pokemon inspired by plants and animals, such as Decidueye, Liepard, Roserade, Volcarona, Trevenant, and Florges.
Curiously, this is not the first time a fan made an unofficial crossover between Baldur’s Gate and Pokemon. A while ago, a fan created an image inspired by the first Pokemon games using an interface inspired by Baldur’s Gate. It was a neat fan work that showcased how interesting it can be to combine elements from these two famous franchises.
Unfortunately for Baldur’s Gate fans, though, the franchise will not likely ever receive frequent releases like Pokemon. Baldur’s Gate 2 came out in 2000, with its official sequel only officially being released 23 years later. To make matters even worse, Larian recently confirmed that it will not develop a sequel for Baldur’s Gate 3, nor a DLC, which is certainly very disappointing news for the fans of the D&D-inspired franchise.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a Dungeons and Dragons inspired RPG developed and published by Larian Studios. Featuring both a single player and cooperative element, players create their character by selecting a starting class, take on quests, level up, and engage in turn-based combat using the D&D 5th

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, the director's cut version of Castlevania for the Nintendo 64, is a classic today despite issues like blurry graphics and wonky gameplay. You'd think a title designed in the last century (well, 1999) would have no new surprises, but there's a twist to the story. A new Konami Code has been found and it's interesting enough that Castlevania fans may want to give it a fresh look.

Mario Kart 8 Study Claims to Have Found the Best Racer and Kart Combo in the Game
A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe study has found the best combination of playable character and customizable vehicle build, with the most optimal option being Peach with a Teddy Buggy. The Mario Kart franchise has had a history of character tiers, where certain playable characters end up outclassing others in the game. These tiers are usually based on the most optimal character to hit the top speed, accelerate, and handle on the track. Heavyweight characters have traditionally been the most common choice for expert Mario Kart players, as seen with characters like Bowser in Super Mario Kart or Funky Kong and the Flame Runner in Mario Kart Wii.
