Summary
APokemonfan has recently devised amazing mecha forms for the evolutions of the three Gen 1 starters. Fan art has always been an important aspect of thePokemoncommunity, and fans often come up with creative ways to reimagine their favorite monsters, including variants with alternative types, Paradox forms, and even more unusual concepts, such as redesigning Pokemon as mecha.
The first generation ofPokemongameshas some of the most iconic creatures in the franchise, such as Pikachu, Eevee, and Snorlax, and the three starters and their evolutions are often hailed as some of the most popular Pokemon of all time. All three starters evolve at Level 16 or higher, with Charmander becoming Charmeleon, Squirtle evolving into Wartortle, and Bulbasaur into Ivysaur. Then, at Level 36, they can reach their final forms: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, respectively.
Now, aPokemonfan artist called Nick_Nasty_89 has devised new mecha variants for Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, coming up with incredibly well-designed pieces. Charizard is reimagined as a huge mecha lizard, with long, metal wings, and weirdly, no feet. Blastoise keeps its overall shape and the classic cannons it has on the back, but it gets a metallic body with several inscriptions on it. Finally, Venusaur’s mecha variant still looks a lot like its original design, but the flower on its back is now glowing like a weapon ready to be fired. These designs were widely praised by the community, which gave the creator over 1,700 upvotes.
Mecha Versions of Gen 1 Starter Evolutions Pokemon Fan Art
The community often reimagines Gen 1 creatures with clever twists, and one example of that could be seen earlier this year. At the time, a fan redesigned someGen 1 Pokemon as cardboard characters, achieving a pretty cute result.
Individual artworks of Gen 1 starters are also common. Last month, inspired by the upcomingPokemon Legends Z-A, anotherfan imagined what a Mega Charizard Z would look like, coming up with a green and dark version of the popular critter.
Another example of amazing fan art depicting unique versions of a Gen 1 starter was analternative Mega Evolution for Blastoiseshared with the community a few months ago. This new form was called Mega Blastoise X, and the Water-type monster looked more like a Wartortle, regaining a tail and ears that resembled its previous form, and ditching the iconic cannons. The artwork also came with a shiny form, which used light green colors instead of blue ones.
