In honor of Earth Day on April 22, a Pokemon fan artist recreated Numel and Camerupt, two Fire-type Pokemon, as regional Grass-types to suit the chosen theme. The Pokemon fan artist shared their work with other trainers, who complimented them for turning two Fire Pokemon into creatures that resembled dormant volcanoes reclaimed by nature.

Pokémon is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. With a history spanning nearly 30 years, there are a lot of Pokémon games that you can pick up and play — but where do you start? Unless you’re a Pokémon professor, it might be tough finding the right game to play.

A Pokemon fan and artist has designed an impressive Gigantamax form for Shuckle. As one of the biggest media franchises in the world, it's really no surprise that Pokemon has inspired near-endless fan art. The franchise's most popular Pokemon are often featured in such art. There is a ton of art featuring Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, and the franchise's other heavy hitters, though some artists make it a point to include underrepresented Pokemon in their pieces as well.

A Pokemon Emerald player and artist stated that they are painting the entire map of the Hoenn Region, and shared five paintings they have created so far on social media. The Pokemon fan artist stated that they were halfway done with turning the Hoenn region into paintings, and other fans complimented them for their ongoing effort and for depicting Pokemon Emerald in their art.

A keen-eyed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player may have spotted the most recent appearance of one of the series' biggest urban legends: the ghost girl. Although Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was released in late 2022, players still seem to be making some odd discoveries in this pair of games.

A Pokemon fan has shared their design for a unique regional form for Swablu and its evolution Altaria. The design has some interesting creative inspiration with a callback to Swablu and Altaria's original shiny forms.

It's time to rejoice for fans of Pokemon, Far Cry, and Street Fighter as comic books based on these hit game franchises are set to be part of a giveaway. Free copies of comic books that tie into Pokemon and other games will be available in select stores for a limited time next month.

Three comic books based on video games are among the titles to be given away during Free Comic Book Day next month.

Following the shutdown of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U online services on April 8, some Pokemon fans took to social media to find out what would happen if a Pokemon was deposited into the Global Trading System (GTS) before the shutdown. To their dismay, Pokemon fans reported that any Pokemon left on the GTS were lost forever.

Just as the 2024 solar eclipse started in North America, a Pokemon fan shared artwork based on the phenomenon, which combined Solrock and Lunatone into a single creature. After sitting on it for some time, the Pokemon fan artist shared their work on social media, and other fans complimented them on their clever design choice.

A Pokemon fan discovered a Pokemon Emerald Game Boy Advance cartridge in a dumpster. Pokemon Emerald is a Generation 3 Pokemon game and serves as the Pokemon Yellow/Pokemon Crystal equivalent for Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Pokemon Emerald notably earned more mixed reviews from professional critics at the time of its original release, but it is now often pointed to as one of the best games in the series.

A talented Pokemon artist has created two impressive concepts showing the potential Mega Evolutions for the popular Dragon/Flying-type Dragonite. Mega Evolutions was first featured in the Gen 6 games, Pokemon X and Y, back in 2013. They returned one year later with Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Mega Evolution has been incredibly popular among Pokemon fans since it was introduced, with the phenomenon recently inspiring an artist from the Pokemon community to create their own Mega Yveltal design. Though the legendary Pokemon Xerneas and Yveltal strangely didn't get their own official Mega forms when they were introduced in the Gen 6 Pokemon games, fans have shared many of their own custom designs over the years, with the recent reveal of Pokemon Legends: Z-A resulting in tons of new fan-made Mega concepts.

A Pokemon fan and artist has created their own take on what Mega Evolutions for the final forms of the Paldea region starters would potentially look like. Mega Evolutions were first introduced in the Generation 6 Pokemon X and Y games and returned for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Game Freak likes to pursue a new gimmick with each Pokemon generation, and so Mega Evolutions have since been left by the wayside.

Some attentive fans have put forth a theory regarding the setting of the upcoming game Pokemon Legends: Z-A, suggesting it will take place in the future instead of the past. Pokemon Legends: Z-A was first revealed at the Pokemon Day event this past February, and it is set to revisit the formula of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Back in 2022, Legends: Arceus was seen as a fresh and innovative take on the classic Pokemon-catching gameplay, and while little has been shown about Legends: Z-A, fans have already started theorizing about its plot points and where it will be set.

To mark today's Pokémon Day celebrations, during an online Pokémon Presents showcase, a brand new game was announced.
