Another fan of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has created concept art featuring the iconic Electric-type pocket monster Pikachu that looks like a perfect Future Paradox form of the Pokemon. One of the most universally recognized Pokemon in the franchise, fans will likely appreciate seeing a different version of Pikachu, especially in a form found only in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Making Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Paradox form fan art is something that the game's community has been doing since the feature was introduced. The enthusiasm of the creative fan base is understandable, given that there are only a handful of pocket creatures that have this form in the title. With a huge number of Pokemon in the Pokedex, it is not surprising that many artists are making their own concepts and visualizations, especially since there are two Paradox form types found in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
On Reddit, user shunixe shared an original art piece they created featuring a mechanical version of the well-known Electric-type Pokemon Pikachu. At a glance, the artwork will likely remind fans of the Future Paradox forms in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The artist retains Pikachu's yellow and black color scheme but has changed almost all aspects of the creature's form. Pikachu's entire body has a completely robotic look and its lightning-shaped tail seems to be made out of blue energy. Even though the artist's rendition of Pikachu is very different from its original form, fans will probably appreciate a different perspective when it comes to the Electric Pokemon.
According to shunixe's post, they titled their artwork "Mecha Pikachu," which is probably a reference to all the mechanical parts they added to the Pokemon. Fans on the Reddit thread were quick to make the connection between the artist's piece and concept art of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Paradox forms, complimenting shunixe's incredibly detailed work. One even pointed out that they were surprised that the development team did not make an official Paradox form for Pikachu, given just how popular the pocket creature is across the whole franchise.
This is probably not going to be the last time that an artist will make a piece of fan art featuring Pikachu. The Pokemon Company continues to utilize the pocket creature's popularity, whether in video games, official merchandise, or collaborations with other brands. Fortunately, the fan base does not seem to be getting tired of the Pokemon and has always welcomed anything Pikachu-related with open arms. Hopefully this continues well into the future of the franchise.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on Nintendo Switch.
