A Pokemon fan artist has shared their rendition of what Skitty and Delcatty would look like if they were people instead of Pokemon. The artist has already transformed a large number of the Pokemon series' numerous creatures, and this new art is both charming and creative.
While there are some Pokemon that are based on people, most of the Pokemon in the series never become human in any way. There are some exceptions to the rule, like Latias disguising itself as human in one of the movies, but this is an outlier. However, that certainly doesn't stop the fan community from answering a «what if» scenario where the Pokemon are people, a type of work commonly referred to as Gijinka.
Pokemon fan artist endifi frequently comes up with concepts following this idea, and the latest iteration includes Skitty and its evolution, Delcatty. Both artworks are rendered charmingly, and the artist shared a bit of backstory explaining their art. Skitty is now a small child wearing a spacesuit, while Delcatty is an elegant adult.
In endifi's lore, Skitty is Delcatty's son, and dreams of being an astronaut, which his father Delcatty funds through their entertainment business. Skitty's overall design made them think of astronauts, and they further leaned into the concept by making Skitty's mother an astronaut as well, referencing how Skitty evolves with a Moonstone. While Skitty in the games has a largely female gender ratio, this particular Skitty is male due to the artist's personal experience with their first Skitty catch in the games being male.
Pokemon Gijinka, or humanoid versions of Pokemon, have become a popular fan art subject. While Pokemon can have many forms ranging from unique temporary evolutions to regional forms, turning them into humans lets artists get even more creative with their designs. It may be particularly interesting to Pokemon players, as even in the rare circumstances where Pokemon have appeared human like the aforementioned Latias encounter, they haven't carried over many of their own traits into their humanoid forms. Latias simply turned into Bianca, an existing human, without really demonstrating how its own characteristics would influence its human look.
Thankfully, fans are there to step in to cover any topics the official Pokemon series fails to explore. With three hundred Pokemon Gijinka designs now completed, fans of these transformations will be eager to see what endifi comes up with next.

GameStop has revealed an exclusive retro gaming-themed bonus for fans who wish to pre-order the upcoming Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door through its storefront: a free slip case based on the GameCube version.

It is a long-awaited remake of one of the series' most beloved games, bringing the game from the GameCube to the Switch, adding a number of quality-of-life tweaks and remastered graphics.
Lego's partnership with Nintendo to turn Mario and elements of the Mushroom Kingdom into sets has enjoyed massive amounts of success since the range's introduction in 2020. It only makes sense that more Nintendo IP would eventually be turned into Lego, and picking the series responsible for the second-best-selling Switch game ever was the next logical step. Lego's debut Animal Crossing sets were released last month, and now we know that collection will be expanded upon this summer.

One imaginative Pokemon fan has created an interesting convergent design for Sudowoodo that gives the plant-mimicking Rock-type a more insectoid form. Every new generation of Pokemon adds new creatures to the franchise’s line-up, and later games would introduce variants for ones that already exist. Pokemon Sun and Moon introduced the concept of convergent Pokemon, alternate versions of certain monsters that live in a particular environment. For example, Wigglet is a relative of the popular Generation One critter Digglet that lives near sandy beaches instead of dirt-filled fields.
