A Pokemon fan has reimagined Gible and Garchomp, giving the two Pokemon a hammerhead shark twist.

A Pokemon fan artist has shared their idea for what Azurill might look like if it were transformed into a human. The prolific fan artist is known for their gijinka, or anthropomorphized takes on non-human characters, and frequently shares Pokemon work with fellow fans.

A Pokemon fan has shared their design for a unique regional form for Swablu and its evolution Altaria. The design has some interesting creative inspiration with a callback to Swablu and Altaria's original shiny forms.

A skilled Pokemon fan artist has come up with some stunning character designs depicting what Makuhita and Hariyama could have looked like if they were humans. If there's one thing members of the Pokemon community are known for, it's the boundless creativity they display when it comes to making redesigns of existingcharacters from the games. The fan art for these two Pokemon in question is no different.

Though Applin has already received plenty of attention in the latest generation of Pokemon games, one fan of the franchise has recently shared their own alternative design for the species which reimagines it as an Ice and Dragon-type instead. The concept of regional variant Pokemon has spurred plenty of similar fan art since it was introduced in the Gen 7 games, and many of the interesting new Pokemon designs seen in the most recent Pokemon titles have further fueled artists' imaginations.

One artistic fan recently created an impressive square rug inspired by the Squirtle Squad from the Pokemon anime. In the original Pokemon Red and Blue, Squirtle was one of three Starter options that players could choose from at the very beginning of the game, but Ash Ketchum met his first Water-type partner differently in the long-running Pokemon TV series. There, Ash’s Squirtle was the leader of the Squirtle Squad, a group of abandoned Tiny Turtle Pokemon who went about causing mischief in the Kanto region.

An imaginative Pokemon fan recently put together a fake commercial for the ever-helpful Poke Mart Potions. The Pokemon franchise is largely centered around elementally empowered creatures battling one another, and injuries and lowered health meters are just part of the job for any aspiring Pokemon Trainer. If a Pokemon’s health is depleted completely, it faints and can no longer be used to battle until it is restored at the local Pokemon Center, but there are luckily several portable Pokemon items players can use to keep their critters in top fighting condition.

A skilled Pokemon fan artist recently designed some impressive new evolutions for Croagunk’s line, giving the Poison/Fighting hybrid Pokemon a cute baby form and a more fierce-looking final stage. The long-running Pokemon franchise has been a constant source of inspiration for artistic gamers since its conception, with legions of players showing off new versions of classic Pokemon or even creating new ones altogether.

A Pokemon fan who sold a rare card for a fraction of its value was able to recoup it after collectors informed him it was potentially worth thousands of dollars.

A devoted fan gave several beloved characters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet a 90s retro-style anime makeover. Pokemon has garnered no shortage of talented followers throughout the years, and this particular piece is a glimpse into how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet might have appeared when the franchise was still in its infancy.
