Summary
A creative and imaginativePokemonfan has come up with a new Pokemon fusion concept, one they are claiming is the most over-the-top, “OP” fusion that they’ve ever created. The intimidating amalgamation of powerful Pokemon into a single form is being lauded by the onlinePokemonfan community at large, with many praising the level of thought put into the piece of fan art.
ThePokemonfandom is arguably one of, if not the most artistically prolific of any fandom in pop culture, with many pieces making headlines across multiple websites. Heavily popularized bythePokemonfan gamePokemon Infinite Fusion, which allows fans to fuse two Pokemon into a unique new creature. While the majority ofPokemonfan fusion art usually follows the idea of blending just two characters into one, this fan’s fusion combined quite a bit more.
The incrediblePokemonfusion fan art was shared on Reddit, where user DendeReddit has posted it to one of the site’s mainPokemonpages. The incredible piece of art looks like some sort of Pokemon God, with a whopping nine draconic heads sprouting out of a bipedal winged dragon body. After fans left numerous guesses as to exactly which Pokemon were present in the design, the creator clarified the body is a blend of Zekrom, Arceus, and Palkia, with each of the 9 heads representing two of the 18 types listing them from left to right:
While obviously not real, the sheer number of Legendary Pokemon, with all of their powers and abilities combined, could surely be considered an “OP” Pokemon. However, the inspiration behind the design actually didn’t come fromPokemonat all, but rather theYu-Gi-Oh!franchise. One of the comments in the above artwork’s post reveals that DendeReddit’s main source of inspiration was F.G.D., which stands for Five God Dragon. Otherwise known as Five-Headed Dragon, the creature is just about thestrongest monster card inYu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cardsand the IP as a whole.
Pokemon Polymerization Fusions
The 21+ Pokemon fused together into a single cohesive intimidating being is certainly impressive, although otherPokemonfusion art fans have recently taken a bit of an inverse approach. Several weeks ago, anotherPokemonfan designed 14 new fusions, mostly sticking with two Pokemon per fusion, but occasionally upping the total to three. The fusions' art style look more hand drawn than the pixelated sprites featured above, showing the wide swathe of art styles thatPokemonfans use even with something as niche as fusion art.
WithPokemonfusion art as popular as its ever been,Pokemon fusions seem like a logical next stepfor the next generation ofPokemon. While the franchise has touched on the mechanic with a couple of Legendaries over the generations, bringing full-scale fusion to an officialPokemongame could prove to be massively popular, though only time will tell.
