Summary
APokemonfan is getting plenty of attention online after posting their creative idea of making a group of Drifloons in real life. Done as part of celebrating thePokemonfan’s birthday, the multiple Drifloons are photographed from a variety of angles and locations around their apartment, leading to a charming photo series that has caught the eye of thousands of fellow fans.
Introduced as part of the fourth generation ofPokemon, Drifloon is a dual-type Ghost/Flying Pokemon that bears an appearance that is essentially a purple balloon with a tape-like X, a pair of strings for arms, and hearts for hands. While often considered “cute” in appearance, Drifloon is rumored to steal children who hold onto them too long, taking them to the afterlife. Along with its evolved form, Drifblim, Drifloon is the only known Pokemon with Flare Boost as an Ability. BothDrifloon and Drifblim are obtainable inPokemon Scarletmost recently, appearing as one of the version’s exclusives.
The impressive real-world Drifloons come courtesy of a Reddit user named ChloeReynoldsArt, who posted their collection of photos onto one of the forum site’s mainPokemonpages. Consisting of eight images, the first two appear to be the Drifloons' original spot, placed among lights and vines. According to the caption, the rest of the pictures were taken in the following weeks of the birthday, showcasing the Pokemon on blinds, a laundry rack, and most adorably, in bed, complete with closed eyes. Despite its benign appearance,Drifloon is considered the cute but evil Pokemonin the franchise by many.
Considering thePokemonfan who created the Drifloons turned 25, they wouldn’t have to worry about falling under the purview of Drifloon’s sinister nature. While the child-abducting nature of the Pokemon is largely inferred via various Pokedex entries,an ominous Easter egg in thePokemonanimecould potentially show Drifloon shortly before such an act.
Pokemon Ghosts with the Most
The fan-made Drifloons are certainly a hit with thePokemonfandom, with the post amassing roughly 3,400 upvotes within hours of being posted. Commenters were quick to point out their favorite one, with many choosing either the one with angry eyes or the one asleep, while others lauded the ingenuity behind the simplistic craft. While undoubtedly impressive, they aren’t the onlyPokemonfan to create a real-world version of a Pokemon with Ghost typing, with onePokemonfan creating an actual Lampent lamp. These projects certainly highlight the fandom’s love for bringing spooky Pokemon to life.
