Summary
A talentedPokemonfan online has created an impressive set of monochrome pins based on various fan-favorite Pokemon from across the series. ThesePokemonpins make great use of each design’s primary color to bring these ideas to life.
It won’t be long until thePokemonfranchise turns 30 years old. Despite this, it remains one of the most popular franchises around, with an enormous community online. It’s a community filled with talented creators, who love to pay tribute to the adorable pocket monsters in tons of different ways. While some fans find ways to bring thePokemonfranchise into their real life, others instead share their own fresh takes on classic designs. For example, onePokemonfan gave Bulbasaur six Christmas-themed makeovers, just in time for the holiday season.
Redditor ElTamagotchi shared their impressivePokemonfan creationonline, nine impressive monochrome pins featuring various fan favorites such as Pikachu, Eevee, and Ditto. Each one uses the primary color of the respective Pokemon - Pikachu is yellow, Eevee is brown, and Ditto is pink, for example. Each design is adorable, and ElTamagotchi was faced with several requests for other Pokemon like Clodsire and Umbreon in the thread. According to the user, their plan is to release another volume “next summer,” when hopefully, a few different Pokemon will be represented.
Pokemon Monochrome Pins
Of the collection, six are fromPokemonGeneration 1, while three are from Generation 2. Regardless, they’re all from the game’s earliest Generations. These earlyPokemonare usually the most popular when it comes to fan creations - the community has simply had the most time to become familiar with them. There was even onePokemonfan who created beanies featuring Generation 1 and 2’s starters. Even with the abundance of new designs, the classics just never go out of fashion.
It’s set to be a big couple of years for thePokemonfranchise. 2025 will see the release ofPokemon Legends: Z-A, while 2026 is set to be the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Some leaks earlier this year suggested thatPokemonGeneration 10 is set to come to the Nintendo Switch 2, with a release rumored for 2026. This would make a ton of sense - by 2026, it will have been four years since Generation 9, and the release of Generation 10 would be a perfect way to celebrate 30 years ofPokemon. While this was part of thePokemonleaks from earlier this year, it’s worth remembering that plans can always change as development rolls on.
