An inspired pasta-themed redesign of Tangela by a Pokemon fan is gaining traction for being clever and cute at the same time. The tasty makeover wouldn't look out of place alongside other food-themed Pokemon found in the series, either.

An inventive Pokemon fan has given Lucario and Gyarados a new type of Mega Evolution called Perma Mega. Mega Evolutions are back in the spotlight following the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. With the return of the popular gimmick scheduled for the next release in the Pokemon franchise, fans are showing their excitement through a series of fan art.
Previously, a talented Pokemon artist gave a Goodra a Mega Evolution, making the pseudo-legendary Pokemon able to turn its body into liquid. A second fan gave Mega Evolutions to the Kalos starters, sharing Pokedex entries for the trio. While the fan art of Pokemon Mega Evolutions is impressive, they follow the basic mechanics of being a temporary transformation. But showing the prolific creativity of the Pokemon community, one fan recently shared their spin on Mega Evolutions, giving them a different take.
Reddit user WishfulWren has created a new type of Mega Evolution for Lucario and Gyarados. Called Perma Mega, or permanent Mega Evolution, Lucario appears in Mega Evolved form with a cape on its back while holding a Honedge, with a Pawniard at its side. According to the lore created by the OP, this Lucario acts as the «king» of one of Lumiose City's districts, ruling with an iron fist. Gyarados is one of the Gen 1 Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, and the concept of Perma Mega turns it into a scary creature that hides in the sewers under Lumiose, wreaking havoc on the Pokemon that live there.
According to the concept of permanent Mega Evolution created by the author, these mega-evolved Pokemon have no bond with a trainer and can't return to their original state. They become powerful adversaries in the areas of Lumiose City, impacting the lives of humans and Pokemon alike. In the comments, the fan revealed that their idea was based on the Noble Pokemon. Featured in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the Noble Pokemon are a special group from the Hisui region with great importance in the game's plot. There are five Noble Pokemon, namely Kleavor, Lilligant, Arcanine, Electrode, and Avalugg.
Pokemon fans are always coming up with inventive ideas such as new regional forms for Pokemon, evolutions for Pokemon that don't have one, or new Paradox forms. WishfulWren's fan art is particularly noteworthy for changing something basic about Mega Evolution by making it permanent, causing Pokemon fans to wonder what it would be like if Game Freak added this idea to a Pokemon game.

It’s April Fools’ Day, but this post is no joke: There is a lot of new TV to watch this week.
