Fans of the belovedPokemonfranchise have often shared artwork of innovative new designs for the iconic pocket monsters, including a hilarious fusion of the Gen 2 Pokemon Quagsire and theFamily Guycharacter Quagmire. Players have been excitedly awaiting news of the next big release in thePokemonvideo game series, and some have chosen to pass the time with unexpected drawings of amusing pocket monster mashups.
One of the largest and most profitable brands on the planet,Pokemonhas become a household name since its commercial debut back in 1996. The franchise has expanded beyond video games and trading cards to include apparel, homewares, collectibles, and even a highly successfulanimatedPokemontelevision seriesand multiple hit films. Looking to combine the popular pocket monsters with another iconic television show, one fan has shared an amusingly unique new fusion, to the delight of fellowPokemonfans.
Artist andPokemonfan Apprehensive_Bee_636 shared a ridiculously perfect mashup between the second generation Pokemon Quagsire and Quagmire from the animated TV seriesFamily Guy. Quagsire made its debut with the Gen 2 Pokemon creatures, which were introduced in the 1999Gameboy ColorPokemongames,Pokemon GoldandPokemon Silver. The Water-Ground type Pokemon’s original design is based on the Giant Salamander of China and Japan, but OP’s creativity led to them recreating the pocket monster with a focus on its name. Many who are familiar with the work of Seth MacFarlane have likely heard of the showFamily Guy, which features a character named Quagmire. Considering the similarity of the names, OP decided to fuse the two together, creating a hilarious newPokemonfusion monster.
Pokemon’s Quagsire Fused with Family Guy’s Quagmire
Fellow fans shared humorous comments on the “uncanny valley” design of the Quagsire-Quagmire pocket monster artwork, with some joking that the Pokemon’s Ground type background would clash with theFamily Guycharacter’s career as an airline pilot. Others teased that it could be a profitable collaboration, considering the success of fellowFamily GuycharacterPeter Griffin inFortnite. While its unlikely that The Pokemon Company and Seth MacFarlane will offer any official character fusion monsters, thePokemonfandom has taken joy in the hilariously unexpected mashup.
AsThe Pokemon Company continues to grow, it would not be unheard of to see the brand crossing over with other popular franchises. Whether any potential collaborations between hit television shows or other video games are in the works remains unknown, but thePokemonfandom is content to bring innovative ideas to life through community artwork of the iconic pocket monsters.
