Summary
A talentedPokemonfan created some distinct pixel art pieces of various Grass, Water, and Fire-type Pokemon from throughout the series, with creatures from nearly every generation appearing in their unique style. The work led to widespread adoration from otherPokemonfans online, who largely found the pieces to be both adorable and immensely detailed, with a variety of Easter eggs.
ThePokemonfranchise has many different typesthat its myriad creatures can have, all of which determine the various moves and abilities each creature can learn and affect the damage output of certain attacks. At the beginning of many of the main seriesPokemongames, players are tasked with selecting either a Fire, Water, or Grass-type Pokemon to accompany them on the adventure, making those three types some of the most well-known.
These three types are the main subject of an art piece by Reddit user dragubagu, who shared three works of pixel art depicting various Pokemon of each type to the series' official subreddit. Each piece shows a variety of Pokemon from every generation in a pixel art stylereminiscent of the sprite work in thePokemonvideo games, complete with backdrops themed after each respective type.
Pokemon Fan’s Pixel Art Shows Off The Series' Most Iconic Types
Fans were seemingly amused by the art, with many pointing out various Easter eggs within it, such as a Darumaka stuck in the back hump of a Camerupt, and a Whiscash that looks particularly ticked off. Some wondered if the artist meant to include one Pokemon from every evolutionary line for each type, though several are missing for that to be the case, such as Seel and Paras for Water and Grass, respectively.
ThePokemoncommunity has proven time and again to be one of the most creative in the gaming space, as a lot of fans make creative works of art based on its characters, like a homemadeplush based on Hydrapple fromPokemon Scarlet and Violet.Still, the user who created these pixel artworks has not stated whether they intend to make more based on other types, so it remains to be seen what they might create in the future.
The pixel art pieces are the perfect size and aspect ratio to make for great phone wallpapers, as another fan pointed out, and the amount of color and detail in each one can give people plenty to look at. Others appreciated that the art gave some attention to some of their favorite Pokemon, like Pyukumuku fromthe 3DS gamesPokemon Sun and Moon.
