Pokemon Fan Designs Mech Versions of Bulbasaur and Its Evolutions

A talented Pokemon fan has recently designed fan art depicting mech forms for Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. This creative artwork showcases the overall high quality of the Pokemon community’s fan art, and this alternative design of the three popular critters as mechanical monsters looks unique.

Originally introduced as one of the starters in the first generation of Pokemon games, Bulbasaur is one of the most popular Grass-type Pokemon ever created. The small Pokemon can evolve into Ivysaur starting at Level 16, and then into Venusaur by Level 32. These creatures can learn powerful moves such as Power Whip and Solar Beam at high levels. In the series’ TV show, Ash’s Bulbasaur appears in the “Bulbasaur in the Hidden Village” episode, and it remains in the protagonist’s party until it’s sent back to Professor Oak during “Bulbasaur… the Ambassador,” a story set in Johto.

Pokemon Fan Turns Squirtle into a Knight

A Pokemon fan shares an illustration of Squirtle dressed as a knight, and the community took the opportunity to rename the new adventurer.

Now, a Pokemon fan called dbolinski shared three pictures containing mech versions of Bulbasaur and its evolutions. All of these beautiful artworks were hand-drawn by the artist, and reimagine the popular monsters with fully mechanical bodies and menacing appearances. One curious detail of these new forms is that the flower on these creatures’ backs was turned into some sort of antenna, which can be seen most clearly in Venusaur’s design. The post was very popular, and it obtained over 1,100 from fellow Pokemon fans.

Pokemon Fan Art Depicts Mech Versions of Bulbasaur and Its Evolutions

While distinct on its own, this artwork resembles the piece of another artist, who recently shared fan-made mecha designs of the Gen 1 starters with the community. At the time, the fan artist created mecha versions of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. However, this fan’s Venusaur was completely different from dbolinski’s, as it had a completely different art style and looked more like a full mecha with cylinders and metal plates.

Alternative versions of popular Pokemon such as Bulbasaur are very common. Last month, for example, one fan designed six alternative Christmas-themed Bulbasaur makeovers. The artwork saw cute reimaginings of the adorable Grass-type Gen 1 beast, turning Bulbasaur into Santa Claus, candies, a Christmas globe, and more.

Another interesting artwork to come out recently was shared by a fan who redesigned Bulbasaur with a pumpkin-themed makeover. In this autumn-inspired version, Bulbasaur has an orange color and a pumpkin instead of a bulb on its back. Hopefully, other creative Pokemon fans will continue to depict beloved monsters such as Bulbasaur and its evolutions in fan art and share the amazing results with the community.
