A talented Pokemon fan artist designed both a baby version of Smeargle and a new evolution for Weezing. When it comes to Pokemon fan art, creating new evolutions, or even pre-evolutions, is a fairly common practice. These genres of fan art are popular as they take familiar creatures and showcase them in unfamiliar ways.
Not to mention, The Pokemon Company has made a habit of adding evolutions to existing pocket monsters every so often. Many of the best baby Pokemon were introduced generations after the original creature. For example, Pokemon like Elekid, Magby, and Munchlax were all introduced in Gen 4 despite being baby versions of Gen 1 pocket monsters. Additionally, both Electabuzz and Magmar received new evolutions in that same generation.
Reddit user PhantomLink2782 designed a new baby form for Smeargle and a Weezing evolution and shared the fan-created Pokemon with the community. Smeargle's pre-evolution, Linearf, is also an artistic Pokemon. Linearf uses its ink-like tail to sketch and scribble much like Smeargle. Gazping, Weezing's evolution, gives the existing Poison-type Pokemon a third head and even more toxic powers. Both fan-designed creatures include their own set of stats, abilities, a detailed Pokedex entry, and a shiny variant.
PhantomLink2782 is no stranger to this sort of creation, as they have shared all sorts of pieces with the community in the past. The Pokemon fan created baby forms of Lapras and others, and their work has been met with a lot of positivity from the community. The artist has designed countless baby forms in previous months, but they have since started to focus a bit more on new evolutions as well.
In addition to admiring amazing pieces from talented fan artists like this, the community has been kept busy lately with several waves of DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With all there is to do in the Indigo Disk DLC, many players are likely still completing Blueberry Quests in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Between all the past starter Pokemon to collect as well as Legendaries, there are hours of battling and capturing to be done in the latest expansion.
Beyond the recent DLC, players are flocking to Pokemon Sword and Shield thanks to the ability to shiny hunt Legendary creatures. Legendary Pokemon are shiny locked in Scarlet and Violet, so Switch players are forced to go elsewhere to find color variants of these powerful creatures. Additionally, many players have likely jumped over to the record-setting Palworld, which has unofficially been dubbed "Pokemon with guns."
