Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has reimagined Lickitung and Sizzlipede as candy in two creative pieces of fan art. Since Nintendo’s franchise came to life on the original Game Boy in 1996, many fans have showcased their love ofPokemonthrough creative outlets, either by reimagining monsters or creating entirely new Pokemon.
With the developers slowly introducing regional variations of established pocket monsters, fans have been busy creating their regional forms of Pokemon,includingreimagining Bronzor as a Fighting-type. However, one fan has chosen a rather unique way of combining Pokemon with candy to produce some interesting artwork.
Over on Reddit, the user by the handle of BigInHell has posted a couple of pieces of artwork showcasing Pokemonas candy. The first image shows what the Gen-1 Lickitung would look like if their innards were made up of BubbleTape. The picture shows BubbleTape has replaced the Normal-type monster’s long tongue as it pays homage to the original bubble gum packaging.
Artist Imagines Pokemon As Different Types Of Candy
The second piece of art focuses on the Gen-8 Fire/Bug-type monster Sizzlipede and imagines what the Pokemon would look like as a Fruit by the Foot roll. Fans are understandably impressed with the OP’s creations and are currently theorizing what the candied Pokemon would taste like. BigInHell’s fans are praising the OP’s choice of using Sizzlipede. Like many monsters introduced inPokemon Sword and Shield,the fire-bug has largely been forgotten, despite appearing in one ofthe best-selling games for the Nintendo Switch.
The work by BigInHell is just the latest in a long line of appreciation posts within the Pokemon community. A talented artist recently addedCutifly to a shop-bought painting, which wowed fans when it was completed. The Bug-Type Pokemon was seamlessly blended into the painting, with the artist fully matching the style of the original.
With fans like BigInHell still creating unique pieces of fan art, it is clear that thePokemonfranchise remains as relevant as ever. While players wait to see what happens when the seemingly inevitable Generation 10 is announced, there are still several games for fans to look forward to. Niantic has teased the next 10 years ofPokemon GO, saying that there has been a lot of investment into the game to keep it going for the next decade. For those players who prefer console gaming,Pokemon Legends Z-Ais scheduled to release in 2025for Nintendo Switch and is set to take players back to the Kalos region.
