The Pokemon franchise was created way back in 1996, and since then, it has spawned plenty of media, such as games and anime. As part of these different installments in the franchise, many unique Pokemon have been introduced. Among the more interesting was a group of Pokemon known as Squirtle Squad.
Originally debuting in an episode of Pokemon the Series: The Beginning, the Squirtle Squad made a lasting impression on numerous fans of the franchise. Composed of a group of Water-type Pokemon, the squad was helmed by a Squirtle that eventually became a Poke-partner of Ash Ketchum. Recently, one talented gamer decided to make real-life artwork based on this leader of the squad.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as jillianjigss92 shared a picture of a recent piece of crochet art they made. What made this particular work stand out was that the creator had designed a doll that looked like the Squirtle Squad Leader from the Pokemon franchise. The results of this project were impressive, to say the least. Remarkably, they had managed to replicate many of the key features of the Pokemon. For example, it had the same blue and white coloration as the one seen in the series. In addition, it sported a pair of cool shades reminiscent of the ones worn by the actual Squirtle Squad Leader.
While this Squirtle Squad Leader doll is impressive, it is far from the only crochet art made by jillianjigss92. Over the past couple of months, they have posted several more Pokemon dolls on Reddit for those interested in seeing more of their work. Some of the dolls crafted by the Reddit user include a Meganium, Dragonite, and Jirachi. Like the Squirtle Squad Leader, these dolls each had a striking resemblance to their in-game counterparts.
Unsurprisingly, numerous members of the Pokemon community on Reddit have taken notice of this Squirtle Squad Leader doll made by jillianjigss92. With over 2.6K upvotes in only a day, many loved the attention to detail in the design. In addition, some appreciated the amount of skill needed to make the crochet doll. “Awesome, wish I could do something like this,” Anton_L said on Reddit. Some liked the design so much that they wished the creator would consider selling some dolls in the future.
Beyond this incredible crochet Squirtle Squad Leader doll, other members of the Pokemon community have been creating impressive artwork over the past couple of weeks. For example, another fan recently made stunning replicas of Diancie and Mega Diancie out of paper. It will be interesting to see what creations are shown off by artistic gamers next. Perhaps jillianjigss92 will decide to add their crochet doll collection by crafting even more Pokemon from the franchise.
