Highlights

  • Pokemon fans' creativity shines with fan-made Mega Evolution concepts, like the unique and formidable Mega Pichu design by artist Blipbugs.
  • The Pokemon community shares imaginative creations, from watercolor paintings of legendary Pokemon to crossovers with other franchises.

A Pokemon fan has designed a Mega Evolution concept for Pichu and shared it on social media. Pokemon, a globally beloved franchise, is well known for its diverse range of creatures and their unique evolutions. Mega Evolutions, introduced in Pokemon X and Y, allow Pokemon to temporarily evolve into a more powerful form during battles. While many popular Pokemon have received official Mega Evolutions, Pichu, the pre-evolution of Pikachu, has not been among them.

Pokemon fans are known to be creative and passionate about the franchise, evident from the fan art and fan fiction. The Pokemon community constantly shares its creations with fellow players. A fan art series has recently surfaced featuring watercolor paintings featuring the legendary Pokemon Kyogre and Groudon. In these artworks, the Pokemon are seen in calm natural settings. The Kyogre artwork shows it diving into the deep ocean, surrounded by Luvdisc, Milotic, Huntail, and Sharpedo, while Groudon is seen on land covered with flowing lava.

Pokemon Fan Reimagines Pichu in a Formidable Mega Evolution

The artist behind the Mega Pichu design, going by the Reddit handle Blipbugs, took inspiration from a community request. During a discussion where users suggested Pokemon they wanted to see with Mega Evolutions, someone mentioned Pichu. Blipbugs found the idea amusing and decided to bring it to life, resulting in a unique and formidable Mega Pichu design. Blipbugs shared the Mega Pichu artwork on Reddit, along with a caption explaining the origin of the idea.

The fan-made Mega Pichu design features larger, angular ears with black tips, and spiked collar-like fur around its neck, giving it a powerful and battle-ready appearance. This contrasts sharply with Pichu's usual cute and playful look, illustrating the artist's creativity and ability to reimagine beloved characters in new and exciting ways. Another player recently illustrated a Mega Evolution for the Pokemon Piloswine that takes a similar approach to the Pichu Mega Evolution, imagining the Pokemon in a larger and more formidable form.

The imaginative creativity of Pokemon fans doesn't just end with Mega Evolutions. It often involves game tactics, too. A player recently found a fast way to evolve Pokemon like Charcadet and Primeape. By battling Rocket Grunts and defeating 2/3 of their Pokemon of a specific type and repeating the process, players can cut down evolution time to as little as 10 minutes.

Another fan has recently given four Dragon-type Pokemon a How to Train Your Dragon-style makeover. These Pokemon - Dragonite, Garchomp, Noivern, and Flygon - are portrayed as creatures in How to Train Your Dragon. Even though these artworks have nothing to do with the actual Pokemon franchise or games, they show how the community generates incredible ideas. It wouldn't be a bad thing if some of these ended up becoming part of the meta.
