Summary
APokemonfan has shared creative winter-themed redesigns for the starters from the series' first three generations of games. The creativePokemonart is perfect for the chilly season, and shows the potential for even old Pokemon to be reworked in a way that makes them fresh and interesting all over again.
Pokemonfans are always coming up with ways to celebrate their favorites from the series. Among these, the starters tend to be featured more than others, simply because they’re something that everyPokemonfan is familiar with. Many players have positive memories ofpicking their first starter Pokemon, and the choice made can determine much of a player’s success, especially early on in the games.
While thePokemonstarters normally follow a trend of offering multiple typings with advantages and disadvantages, fan Munchyku has decided to give them all a cold overhaul, turning them intopure Ice-type Pokemon. While the three sets of starters remain perfectly recognizable, they have unique features that make them more icy, rather than just turning them blue. For example, Bulbasaur now has a giant ice crystal on its back and smaller ones dotting its body and face, Chikorita’s buds have been hidden beneath a snowy shawl, and Charmander looks like it has a cold, with just a touch of its original flames breaking through an ice crystal on its tail.
Winter Pokemon Redesigns Generate Ice-Type Conversation
Many fans have shared praise for the artist’s latest works, as they’re quite prolific in creatingPokemonfan art. Several have also taken the opportunity to discuss Ice-typing and how it works in the game. It seems many players, including MunchyKu, really like Ice-types. However, fans also point out that becoming anIce-type Pokemonwould probably make some of them weaker than their original forms. Nonetheless, it seems that the notion of redoing some of the classic starters as Ice-types is a concept that appeals to a lot of fans, especially if the designs looked like MunchyKu’s.
While it seems somewhat unlikely that the games will ever redo the starters with new, singular typing different than what they normally have, it’s not completely impossible. As the series' starters, these Pokemon tend to get preferential treatment when it comes to creating variants, new forms, and new evolutions. Charizard, for example, is unique in that it has two completelydifferent Mega Evolutionsin addition to its Gigantamax form. Even if type variants never happen, it’s likely that the starters will keep being reimagined and celebrated by both fans and the official developers.
