Mind-Blowing Pokemon Fan Art Unveils Uncharted Secrets of Paradox Raikou!

Highlights

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan art predicted the long neck characteristic of Raikou's Paradox form, which generated buzz on social media.

Fan art in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet frequently revolves around Paradox forms, where imaginative renditions of prehistoric and futuristic variations of established Pokemon take center stage.

Anticipation grows as we wonder if the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC will introduce additional captivating Paradox forms.

Some fan art of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet appears to have accurately anticipated one of the defining features of the recently-revealed Paradox Raikou, which is set to debut in the upcoming Indigo Disk DLC. As anticipated, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had a notable presence during the latest Pokemon Presents event, where The Pokemon Company showcased the two DLC packs currently being developed for the games.

The initial DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is titled The Teal Mask and will be accessible starting on September 13. The second DLC, named The Indigo Disk, does not have a confirmed release date at the time of writing but is expected to be unveiled sometime in winter 2023. At the Pokemon Presents event, three new Pokemon were introduced for The Indigo Disk DLC, including two that assume Paradox forms of beloved Legendary Pokemon from previous main series Pokemon games.

In the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC, there will be Paradox forms added for Cobalion and Raikou, known as Iron Crown and Raging Bolt, respectively. Raging Bolt stands out with its remarkably elongated neck, which has created quite a buzz on social media. Interestingly, fan art from the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet community had actually hinted at the long neck design for Raikou's Paradox form, although the official version takes it to another level. An artist named Bulbbyboi even created their own interpretation of Raikou's Paradox form, which bears resemblance to the official design but with notable differences. Nonetheless, it is intriguing to witness how this fan art seemingly predicted one of the most distinctive aspects of Raikou's Paradox form.

The fan art for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has primarily focused on Paradox forms, where artists imagine prehistoric and futuristic variations of existing Pokemon. It will be interesting to see if Paradox forms make a comeback in future Pokemon games or if this concept is abandoned. While some fans appreciate the unique twists that Paradox forms bring to existing Pokemon designs, others criticize them for being unoriginal compared to entirely new Pokemon creations.

There are rumors suggesting that there are still unrevealed Pokemon in the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which means fans may have more Paradox forms to discover. In the meantime, Pokemon fans can anticipate the arrival of new Pokemon in The Teal Mask on September 13 while they await further updates on the release date of The Indigo Disk.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
