Pokemon Fan Art Gives Golem a New Look
14.02.2024 - 21:09 / gamerant.com / Ken Sugimori / Dane Enerio
A disgruntled Pokemon fan has given the beloved Rock/Ground-type monster Golem a makeover and shared the rework online. While far from being the series' worst design, Golem's appearance can be described as being very simple.
Among the initial 151 Pokemon that were introduced in the franchise's original Game Boy trilogy, Golem resembles a large boulder with a head, hands, and feet. A much more visually complex variant of the monster introduced in the seventh generation Pokemon Sun and Moon games, the Alolan Golem, features additional crystalline formations on its body, as well as a mustache and beard. A Pokemon fan who was dissatisfied with the regular Golem's current looks has taken it upon themself to give the fan favorite a redesign.
In a recent post on the Pokemon subreddit, user killpony shared images of what they claimed was an improved Golem design. The reworked Golem featured larger and longer limbs, which would greatly enhance the Rock/Ground-type Pokemon's mobility, in theory. The average Golem weighs around 300 kilograms, or around 661 pounds, making it one of the heaviest Pokemon among the original 151 monsters.
Killpony explained that they gave Golem a makeover because they disliked the Pokemon’s current design. However, the artist also said that they were a fan of the original art of Golem that was illustrated by the Pokemon franchise’s primary character designer and art director, Ken Sugimori. Responding to fellow fans, Killpony claimed Sugimori's initial design featured elements that were lost in the series' later generations. While not the most detailed, the Generation 1 Pokemon designs are widely considered to be the best and most iconic in the entire franchise.
Some community members praised Killpony's Golem rework, with one saying that it was able to preserve the core concept of the original design. Others, however, criticized the makeover as it ruined an otherwise perfect design. Pokemon fans regularly share reworks online, and one talented artist recently showed off an impressive redesign of Bulbasaur and its evolutions, Ivysaur and Venusaur. These specific redesigns, which were created by Reddit user vomitfrog, mimicked Sugimori's distinct watercolor style that was used for the art of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
In contrast, another fan completely distanced themself from Sugimori's style when they reimagined several Pokemon in Japan's distinct Ukiyo-e style that is often associated with the country's myths, legends, and folklore. Aside from Pokemon, the artist behind these pieces, CanadianTurt1e, has created art featuring other franchises, including gaming giant Nintendo's popular Super Mario series, as well SpongeBob SquarePants.
