An artistically talented Pokemon fan has created several Paradox Pokemon figures entirely from LEGO, and is on the receiving end of attention from quite a few others online. While much of the Pokemon fanbase seemed divided on the design of Paradox Pokemon, particularly with Pokemon Violet's Paradox Pokemon, the fan's LEGO builds appear to be getting nearly-universal positive acclaim.
Introduced with the latest franchise entries, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Paradox Pokemon are a distinct group of Pokemon which are either futuristic or ancient relatives of contemporary Pokemon. Some of the most difficult creatures to catch in either title, Pokemon Scarlet is home to the ancient Paradox Pokemon while Pokemon Violet is where the futuristic Paradox Pokemon can be found. There are currently 18 total Paradox Pokemon, evenly divided amongst the two games.
The impressive array of LEGO Paradox Pokemon models comes from a Reddit user named zombieee4567, who posted their creations to one of the site's major Pokemon pages. The post includes four figures in total - two from Pokemon Scarlet and two from Pokemon Violet. Representing Violet is Iron Bundle - the Paradox version of Delibird - and Iron Valiant, Gardevoir and Gallade's relative. Over on the Scarlet end are Sandy Shocks and Flutter Mane, which are ancient relatives of Magneton and Misdreavus respectively. Each of the Paradox Pokemon LEGO figures feature background environments applicable to each Pokemon.
Pokemon fan response to the post has been quite large, with the Pokemon LEGOs amassing 2,000 upvotes within just hours of being posted. Just about every comment is some form of praise, declaring that they "look really awesome" and asking if more will be built. Further inspection of the artist's profile reveals that more are indeed being made, with their latest post a LEGO version of the surprisingly competitive Scream Tail, an ancient Paradox form of Jigglypuff.
In addition to unique mediums such as LEGO, Pokemon fans flex their creativity by creating renditions of their favorites in a myriad of styles. In addition to recently being made from LEGOs, fan-favorite Sandy Shocks has been reimagined in a Paper Mario art style. As opposed to the blocky 3D model above, this version is a bouncy and rounded take that looks like it belongs in the series. Pokemon fans have proven time and again that they are one of the most artistic fandoms in pop culture, and their collective creativity seems to know no bounds.
