A fan of Pokemon has created a human-like version of Litwick, a Ghost/Fire-type Pokemon that was first introduced in the Generation 5 Pokemon games, Pokemon Black and White. These games were originally released in Japan in 2010 on the Nintendo DS, and were later released in other regions in 2011. They were the third set of main series Pokemon games for the Nintendo DS, following Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Notably, Pokemon Black and White introduced a total of 156 new Pokemon to the series and primarily focused on these new creatures throughout the adventure. Unlike previous Pokemon games that included both new and returning Pokemon, Black and White aimed to showcase the new Unova creatures.
Litwick, a Pokemon that first appeared in the Unova region, is a unique creature resembling a sentient candle. One Redditor, known as EarlGreyWhiskers or RemHydragrove, showcased their fan art by portraying Litwick as a human character. This human version of Litwick incorporates the Pokemon's color scheme in their clothing and even includes a lit candle wick in their hair. The fan art has received a positive response, gaining over 3,000 upvotes at the time of writing. Furthermore, a commenter has expressed interest in seeing similar human versions of Litwick's evolved forms.
It would certainly be intriguing to witness the human representations of Litwick's evolutions. At level 41, Litwick evolves into Lampent, and when exposed to a Dusk Stone, Lampent further evolves into Chandelure. All of these Pokemon maintain the "light" theme and possess Ghost/Fire types. Litwick represents a candle, Lampent embodies a lamp, and Chandelure takes the form of a chandelier.
The Litwick line exemplifies a concern among certain Pokemon fans regarding the Generation 5 designs: the presence of multiple Pokemon inspired by inanimate objects. Alongside the Litwick line, there are other examples such as Trubbish and Garbodor, Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe, and Klink, Klang, and Klinklang, among others. Some fans argue that these creatures possess the weakest designs in the series, particularly highlighting the Trubbish and Vanillite lines.
It remains intriguing to witness the potential evolution of public opinion towards these peculiar Generation 5 Pokemon designs. With the possibility of Pokemon Black and White remakes down the line, it's conceivable that these Generation 5 Pokemon will continue to receive attention and scrutiny in the coming years.
