When it comes to creative projects though, fans of thePokemonseries have proven that artwork can take many different forms. One talented fan known as MelodicWeb2161 on Reddit puts their own spin onPokemonart by creating several pairs of sneakers each themed around a certain Pokemon, with each design incorporating aspects such as a Pokemon’s colors and body patterns to achieve a unique look. They include eight different designs in their most recent post, creating sneakers based on fan-favorite Pokemon, such as Mega Charizard X, Giratina, Lucario, Sharpedo, and Azumarill, while also showing some love for some slightly more obscure critters, including Falinks and Meowstic.
This isn’t the first time this same artist has created some Pokemon-themed sneaker concepts, previously showing off some designs whichfeature some of the games' iconic starter Pokemon. The most recentPokemon Scarlet and Violetgames have prompted an explosion of new fan art thanks not only to the adorable new starters the Gen 9 games introduce but also the strange Paradox Pokemon, which offer new and distinct designs to Pokemon that most players are already well acquainted with.
ThoughPokemon Scarlet and Violethave been met with mixed reception as a whole, a recent look into the games' upcoming Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC has players excited about the future of the franchise. With the first part of the DLC releasing in mid-September, fans can look forward to visiting entirelynew places in the world ofPokemon, meeting new characters, and catching a variety of new Pokemon.
