A Pokemon enthusiast has taken on a unique challenge of creating a single creature by fusing all the first-generation Pokemon together. While the concept of fusing different Pokemon is quite common in the fan art community, this particular feat of combining an entire generation is unprecedented.
The first generation comprises the original 151 Pokemon, all originating from the Kanto region. The lineup includes several iconic creatures such as Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, and many others. Despite the introduction of eight subsequent generations, the popularity of the first gen has endured, with many Kanto Pokemon making appearances in games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Reddit user u/TB_Mumpitz is creating unique Pokemon fusion artwork that has caught the attention of fans. The artist is allowing the community to decide which Pokemon or component of a Pokemon to fuse each day, with the most upvoted suggestion being chosen. The current fused creature, consisting of Arcanine, Snorlax, Electrode, Voltorb, and Gastly, is both amusing and frightening. The top suggestion at the moment is to replace Snorlax's arms with Kingler's, which will undoubtedly make the creature even more bizarre. The post has garnered hundreds of comments and nearly 2,000 upvotes, with other popular suggestions including adding Kangaskhan's pouch to the Snorlax torso, replacing Arcanine's tail with Ninetales', and even incorporating Jynx's bra from the Ice-type Pokemon onto the same region.
When it comes to creating fusion art, most Pokemon fans tend to fuse only two creatures to make a recognizable 50/50 blend. A fusion of Legendaries Articuno and Suicune is a good example of this, where fans are able to easily recognize certain features as belonging to one or the other, or a clear mesh of characteristics from both. However, those who attempt to create increasingly bizarre-looking Gen 1 Kanto Pokemon fusions will end up with something unlike any other fusion art. It's a fun prospect to try to identify components of all 151 original Pokemon in these fusions.
