Summary
APokemonfan has come up with a unique design for a potential convergent form of the classic Water/Ice-type Pokemon Lapras. This fanart provides a glimpse into what could’ve been, had Game Freak created a redesign of their own for the gentlehearted seafarer in the latestmainlinePokemongame.
For those out of the loop, convergent forms are new types of Pokemon that wereintroduced inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, the most recent games in the series. Unlike the regional forms that were first added inPokemon Sun and Moon, convergent forms are regarded as completely different Pokemon, with their own individual entries in the Pokedex to boot. Unfortunately, though, only six existing Pokemon received convergent forms inScarlet and Violet, leaving many to wonder what the ecologically similar renditions of other popular Pokemon would look like. Since Game Freak may never make these Pokemon itself, some fans are up to the task of bringing these hypothetical convergent forms to life themselves through fanart.
Redditors have reacted positively to the artwork of this potentialalternate form for Lapras, with commenters Mediocre-Lawfulness6 and Quesy-Environment34 both calling the design “cool.” Others, meanwhile, have suggested alternative names to call the fan-made Pokemon by. Reddit user clownieo, for instance, recommended using the name “Gastropus” (pronounced gah-straw-pus), while fellow commenter OkJob7855 provided the name “Landpras” instead. Regardless of whatever the best name for this hypothetical Pokemon could be, it seems everyone in the comment section is in agreement that this is nonetheless a good design for a Lapras convergent form.
Fans Are Creating New Convergent Forms For Pokemon
This isn’t the first time that Just-Drawing-Mons has created cool-looking redesigns of existing Pokemon. Recently, they designed angelic-lookingconvergent form redesigns for Magnemite and Magnetonas well. Other artists like Reddit users ordheistart and SayuriKoopa, meanwhile, have taken to the site to post artwork of convergent redesigns of their own. They created ecologically similar renditions of a wide variety of Pokemon, ranging from Lilligant, Musharna, and Polteageist, all the way to Forretress, Eiscue, and Poliwrath. The effort put into these redesigns shows just how passionate and dedicated thePokemonfanbase truly is to this day.
