A Pokemon fan has created regional and convergent forms of certain Pokemon. Since the introduction of the regional and convergent forms in Game Freak's pocket monster series, fans have designed their own alternate Pokemon that have yet to be covered in the mainline games. The designs are not only unique and beautifully detailed, they also come with different types that bring new life to each form.
Regional forms were first introduced in generation seven, during Pokemon Sun and Moon. The games showcased eighteen alternate forms of well-established Pokemon, giving the aesthetic of a Hawaiian theme. Convergent Pokemon are the reinvention of existing Pokemon that bear resemblance to existing Pokemon but are not directly related to the past species. Wiglett and Wugtrio, for example, share similarities with Diglett and Dugtrio, but are not part of the same line.
Pokemon fan SayuriKoopa shared their most-recent work in picture format, posting a gallery of several images, each showcasing a different regional or convergent Pokemon. Each image displays a beautiful new design, along with the typing that the Pokemon come with, or — in the case of convergent Pokemon — a new name. One image includes the regional forms of Meowstic in a parody of Pretty Cure, a Super Sentai-styled magical girl series.
Included in the gallery is the Natu and Xatu line turning into a dark-flying type, changing their colors to a pale tan and red variation, and the Espurr and Meowstic line switching to fairy-fighting Pokemon with a softer blue, gray, and pink. Convergent forms of Phantump and Trevenant are creatively turned into Phantock and Golenant, the ghost-rock Pokemon, while the lovable Tandemaus and Maushold, welcomed in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, receive convergent Pokemon of their own in the ice variation of Tandelaus and Laushold.
Since the inclusion of regional and convergent Pokemon in later generations, Pokemon fans have continued to come up with brilliant ways to come up with their own. Other forms include the Paradox Pokemon that were featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which saw past and future variations of existing Pokemon joining the present day. While not every Pokemon receives a variation of their existing form, it's always fun to see what clever way fans of the franchise come up with to turn their favorite Pokemon into new forms and how onlookers react to each design.
Pokemon is a franchise that needs no introduction. One of the most successful media empires in history, Pokemon spans games, television, films, manga, merchandise, music, and more.

A talented Pokemon fan online has shown a few different pieces of artwork, which imagine what Raichu would look like if it had Mega Evolution forms. With Mega Evolutions set to return in the upcoming Pokemon title, Legends: Z-A, fans of the series are excited about the feature all over again.

One The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has built a mech inspired by the duck-billed platypus. The key advantage of functional mechs is that they can be weaponized with Zonai devices. When combined with emitters, cannons, or rockets, they transform into combat machines that Tears of the Kingdom players can use to fend off enemies.
A talented Pokemon fan has created sprites for the starter Pokemon of the nine generations. Pokemon has become a franchise known for exciting stories where players travel the game's world, battle, and meet different characters. But nearly every Pokemon adventure begins in the same way: with the hard quest of choosing a starter Pokemon.
A creative Pokemon fan has come up with new designs for Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon by swapping the types of these Gen 4 starters.

For their effort, the Pokemon fan artist received feedback from their peers, with some remaining divided on the creative liberties taken in the realistic Mewtwo depiction.
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has created a neat concept for Bat Villagers. Nintendo has expanded on the number of animal species featured in Animal Crossing: New Horizons compared to earlier titles, and this idea could be perfect for the next installment.
The many Paradox Pokemon themed around the past have proven popular amongPokemon fans, and one artist has shared a few of their own designs which present what the Paldea region's starters might look like as past-based Paradox Pokemon.

A skilled Pokemon fan recently designed a new form for Reshiram using the Monster Hunter series art style.
