Highlights
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced Paradox Pokemon, with unique forms from different time periods.
Fans in the Pokemon community have demonstrated their creativity by crafting their own renditions of Paradox Pokemon, including an alternate form of Entei known as Falling Ash. They have fervently engaged in fan art creation and even made predictions regarding the Paradox forms of different Pokemon.
A Paradox form of Entei was created by a devoted Pokémon fan. The games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced players to Paradox Pokemon, which are ancient or futuristic creatures found in Paldea's Area Zero.
Released in November 2022, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet captured players' attention with Generation 9 Pokémon and their distinctive Paradox forms. These Paradox Pokemon have altered appearances, often showcasing traits resembling dinosaurs or robots based on their respective time periods. The recent announcement of upcoming DLCs for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has increased the total number of Paradox Pokemon to 20.
Many fans have taken it upon themselves to create their own interpretations of Pokemon without Paradox forms. Reddit user TEZofAllTrades recently shared a unique version of Entei called Falling Ash. Falling Ash is a Fire and Dragon Pokemon resembling a pterodactyl with wings made of "ash clouds." TEZofAllTrades explained on their Deviant Art page that they were inspired by the Pink Ranger's pterodactyl zord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when creating this Paradox Entei. They also mentioned abilities such as Ash Typhoon, which deals 80 Fire-type damage while in the air, Dragon Pulse, and Agility.
In the comment section, several Pokemon fans expressed their admiration for TEZofAllTrades' Paradox Entei. One person mentioned that this is how they imagined the Pokemon would look if it had a Paradox version in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Another person speculated that this could have been Entei's Mega Evolution if Pokemon had not discontinued the feature.
The Pokemon community is known for producing a wide range of unique fan art, including drawings and tufted rugs. One particular type of fan art that has tested the creativity of many fans is Paradox Pokemon art. Fans enjoy coming up with new characters and abilities for these Paradox forms. Some fans have even successfully predicted the Paradox forms of certain Pokemon, such as Raging Bolt (Paradox Raikou). Despite the less-than-ideal reception, there has been an impressive amount of artwork created for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Currently, players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are preparing for the upcoming Mew and Mewtwo event, which is expected to pose a challenge. More events like this can be anticipated in the future, especially as the games approach their first anniversary in November. Fortunately, developer Game Freak has made progress in addressing the games' issues in recent months.
