A talented Pokemon fan artist recently unveiled a fresh regional variant for Incineroar, transforming the massive feline into a new creature with Fire/Ice typing. Ever since the first game was released in the 90s, fans have been crafting inventive Pokemon fanart, and this piece is one of the latest creations shared with the community.
Incineroar is a Fire/Dark-type Pokemon originally introduced in Gen 7 of the franchise. This humanoid feline is the second evolution of Litten, one of the starters in the Pokemon Sun and Moon games. Despite evolving from a cat, Incineroar stands upright on two legs, diverging from the form of its predecessor Torracat. This Pokemon is quite popular, as it is one of the creatures Ash owned in the anime. As a result, numerous fans have produced intriguing Incineroar fan art in the past.
The new regional version of Incineroar is a Fire/Ice-type Pokemon created by Mathias_Greyjoy and El-psy-congroo-01. Unlike the original Incineroar, this version walks on all fours like a cat and features blue, icy details in its fans and claws. It weighs around 180 lbs and stands just over four feet tall, making it only slightly larger than the original. Mathias_Greyjoy shared in the comments that they created this Pokemon because they disliked the original Incineroar so much that they never evolved their Torracat while playing Pokemon Moon. This Pokemon is part of their ongoing project, Legends: Rayquaza, a fan game built using Pokemon Essentials. The team has also designed other regional variants, including a Water/Ghost-type Blastoise that retains some of Wartortle's design.
The alternative, futuristic version of Magneton, created by Pokemon enthusiasts, incorporates security cameras, iron balls, and magnets to give the original design a refreshing twist. Despite being recognizable to long-time fans, this new form breathes new life into the classic Pokemon.
