Summary
APokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer designed incredible Paradox forms for the Pokemon Ho-Oh, Pikachu, and Gengar and shared their efforts on social media. As a result of their handiwork, thePokemon Scarlet and Violetfan artist received compliments from their peers for designing Gengar, Ho-Oh, and Pikachu in their style.
Introduced inPokemon Scarlet and Violet,Paradox Pokemon quickly became popularwith trainers due to their unique designs and different types compared to the creatures they resemble. InPokemon Scarlet, the Past Paradox Pokemon that appeared in Area Zero had feral features that were comparable to dinosaurs. By contrast, the Future Paradox Pokemon found inPokemon Violetlooked more robotic, with many Electric-type and Steel-type Pokemon in their ranks. Even though the Paradox phenomenon remains a controversial topic amongPokemonfans, some fan artists took it as an opportunity to grant some overlooked Pokemon a new look based on either version.
A Reddit user named HertzBurst shared more of their Paradox Pokemon creations on the r/pokemon subreddit. Known for designingParadox forms for Pokemon such as the Swords of Justice, HertzBurst shared their Future Paradox form concepts of Pikachu and Gengar. They were given the respective names “Iron Thunder” and “Iron Fright” to line up with the naming convention for Paradox Pokemon found inPokemon Violet. The Paradox Gengar had the Ghost and Dark types, while the futuristic Pikachu was given the Electric and Fairy types. With pink spikes and teeth that covered its metal body, Iron Fright was designed in the style of an animatronic robot. Iron Thunder was designed as a small drone with a round body, a coil for a neck, and an antenna on its head in place of Pikachu’s distinct tail.
However, HertzBurst had one more Pokemon to show off: a Past Paradox version ofthe Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh first appeared as the box art Legendary ofPokemon Gold. Dubbed “Flaring Feathers” by the OP, the Past Paradox Ho-Oh was based on the extinct dodo, and given the Fire and Fighting types. With mostly red and gold plumage, this rendition of Ho-Oh was a bipedal bird similar to Galarian Zapdos. Interestingly enough, Flaring Feathers stood nearly three times as tall as both Iron Fright and Iron Thunder combined.
Pokemonfans thanked the OP for their latest Paradox Pokemon contributions to the subreddit. While they remain popular with trainers, only time will tellif Paradox Pokemon will appearin futurePokemongames.
