A Pokemon fan shows off their unique design for a trio of new Pokemon, creating branching evolutions for Johto Grass Pokemon Sunflora. New games in the beloved monster-catching franchise have often looked to their older creatures for inspiration, re-imagining new forms for classic Pokemon. Regional variants and «regional fakes» like Poltchageist have been a popular trope within newer games, while some have added new evolutions to fan-favorite Pokemon from past generations. Now, a fan is sharing their unusual idea for a new Sunflora evolution.
The Pokemon franchise has often experimented with unique ideas for new evolutions of past Pokemon. Pokemon Legends: Arceus' «Noble» Pokemon introduce several new forms of old-school Pokemon, including Kleavor as a new Scyther evolution and Ursaluna as an evolved form of Ursaring. Many modern Pokemon games also feature unusual methods for evolving Pokemon, like Pokemon Sun and Moon newcomer Inkay requiring players to turn their consoles upside-down. Now, a recent fan creation is imagining several new evolved forms for the Grass Pokemon Sunflora.
Reddit user dhio_art shared their interpretation of Sunflora evolutions on the Pokemon subreddit, imagining three new versions of Sunflora. The first two forms both depict an elongated version of Sunflora with two extra pairs of leaf arms, with the second version also boasting a menacing new expression and flames on the leaves. The third form interprets how a wilted version of Sunflora would look, with sagging limbs and a dark purple color scheme. The «branched evolution» moniker suggests that Sunflora could evolve into any of the three forms through different means.
The creator detailed a bit more of their design ideology for the new Sunflora forms within the comments of the post. The user shares the prospective typings for each of the new Sunflora forms, with the second as a Grass/Fire Pokemon and the third as Grass/Ghost to suggest the Sunflora has wilted. The replies also saw fans lamenting the forgotten status of Sunflora, hoping that Game Freak may revisit Sunflora with a new evolution or form in a future game. Others praised the «long» interpretation of Sunflora, feeling that the comical design choice fits the Pokemon well.
The Reddit user's unique idea for Sunflora evolutions comes as rumors have often swirled about a potential return to the Johto region. Many fans have speculated that Pokemon may eventually release a Let's Go game for the Johto region. The Johto region was also a heavy request from fans for a new Pokemon Legends game before the recent announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A featuring Kalos. The Sunflora evolutions serve as a fun «what if?» creation for one of the franchise's classic creatures.
