Countless examples of Pokemon fan art have been created since the series started with Pokemon Red and Blue in 1996, and a recent one imagines Togepi as a human character. Because there are a few Pokemon that resemble humans in the original Pokedex, the idea of turning existing entries into humanoids goes back almost to the origin of fan art based on the franchise, with Togepi being the latest conception.

Togepi was introduced to the Pokemon series with the release of Pokemon Gold and Silver, but the anime teased the Pokedex entry a lot sooner. Pokemon fans first saw the then-Normal-type Pokemon in the anime episode called "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon," in which Misty earned ownership of Togepi. While Togepi became synonymous with Misty in the Pokemon anime, Pokemon Gold and Silver players all received it as an egg from Professor Elm, and this fan has a different take on how the Pokemon should look after hatching.

Reddit user Endifi shared a Pokemon fan art mere hours ago focusing on Togepi and its evolution Togetic, both imagined as human characters that resemble Pokemon Gym leaders. The much smaller Togepi gets a crown atop its head that retains the shape of the Gen 2 Pokemon, with a baggy robe that maintains the pattern on the protective eggshell surrounding Togepi. Beyond the round shape created by the baggy robes, Endifi's fan art also shows Togepi holding a tall blue staff that's topped with an egg wearing an almost identical crown to the one adorning the head of the human version of the Pokemon.

Like when Togepi evolves in the Pokemon anime and video games, Endifi's fan art emphasizes the height that Togetic gains upon earning enough friendship stat with its Pokemon trainer. The baggy clothes are more form-fitting to the humanoid Togetic who has the same shell pattern underneath long wings of fabric extending to either side of the different take on the Gen 2 Pokemon. Unlike the actual Pokemon, this Togetic has one red and one blue foot that match the shell pattern colors, while the staff has been altered to incorporate these colors and the smaller crown atop the human's head.

Because Endifi only shared two Pokemon fan art images, they left Gen 4 Pokemon Togekiss completely untouched despite the fact that it's another evolution in the Togepi line. Although Togepi has been in the Pokemon franchise since Pokemon Gold and Silver, it has yet to receive a regional variant, Mega Evolution, or Gigantimax form, making the forms highlighted by Endifi the only ones beyond the evolution that's been left out.
