A talented Pokemon fan online has shared their amazing creation, which turns the Generation 1 starter trio into a set of engraved copper coins. The Pokemon community is renowned for its creativity, and this is a great reminder of why that's the case.

The Pokemon series first made its debut back in 1996, which is approaching three decades at this point.

Nowadays, there are over 1,000 Pokemon for players to catch, with the roster slowly expanding over the years. With the series as popular as ever and more designs to choose from, it's no surprise that the community for Pokemon fan creations continues to go from strength to strength. While there are legions of fan art pieces to look through, it's always interesting to see how fans choose to bring the series into their real lives, like the Pokemon fan who made clever Poke Ball disco balls.

Pokemon Gen 1 Starter Coins

For many long-time Pokemon fans, the starters from Generation 1 remain some of the most iconic Pokemon of all time. They're the first that many players will have encountered almost three decades ago, serving as a deep source of nostalgia for plenty of gamers out there. As a result, the trio of Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur are very common subjects for fan art. One Pokemon fan even created unique Tera forms for the Gen 1 starters, and it's interesting to see how fans interpret these designs as the series continues to evolve. To this day, they remain three of the most popular Pokemon, and fan art featuring this trio will remain prominent for years to come.

It's amazing to see Pokemon going from strength to strength after all these years. While the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet wasn't exactly smooth, the future is still looking bright for the franchise, with players still excited about what's coming up next. Gamers are drawing up their Pokemon Legends: Z-A wishlists, and the hope is that a Gen 10 announcement will come soon after that game launches.
