A Pokemon fan has designed a regional map for the franchise inspired by the map of Mexico. The regions in the Pokemon franchise have always taken inspiration from real world countries and cities. The Kanto region even has the same name as the region it was inspired by. However, there has never been a regional map inspired by Mexico, which prompted the fan to design this unique piece of art.

Pokemon fans are never too shy to present the world with their creations and concepts. The social media groups and communities are very active when it comes to sharing and discussing fan art and hypothetical concepts. Much of this fan art is made digitally, but some people make real-world designs inspired by their favorite franchise. For instance, one fan created wood carvings of their favorite Pokemon, which were greatly admired by fellow players and fans.

A Pokemon fan artist shares adorable baby versions of several legendary Pokemon, delighting the community with their charming reimaginations.

The regional map was designed and shared on Reddit by TlatoaniMapper. They named the region Aztlan, taking inspiration from the Aztec civilization, which ruled parts of Mexico before the Spanish colonization. The fan also attached an image with the Reddit post, which shows a precisely designed map of Mexico with green and yellow terrain representing greenery and deserts, respectively. The map also shows Pokemon Centers, Gyms, and other key facilities with red squares. There are also white paths connecting all the key locations. This concept is quite different from the Pokemon fan art with baby versions, Mega Evolutions, and human forms that are often shared online.

Pokemon Fan Designs Regional Map Called Aztlan

The Reddit post gathered a reasonable amount of interactions from fellow fans, with most of them expressing how impressed they are. The author of the post explained in the comments that they designed the map for a fan game that they might not be able to finish. Commenters encouraged the author to keep working on the game, with one of them saying that the journey matters more than the outcome. This is very true for Pokemon fans who create this type of art, because none of these creations actually end up in the games or anime. Still, creating Pokemon fusion art and Mega Evolutions gives them a chance to visualize how their favorite creatures would look in different forms.

Though the concepts of Mega Evolution and Pokemon fusion are part of the canon, human forms are not. However, that does not stop fans from creating human forms of their favorite Pokemon. All this fan art shows how the Pokemon games and animated shows keep the fans and players constantly engaged.
