Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire took a lot of risks in adding new mechanics, and Game Freak succeeded. Introducing double battles, contests, and having a battle tower (Battle Frontier in Emerald) offered challenges to fans in the post-game. One of the best aspects the third generation games brought are the designs for the Pokémon and the characters. The three starters, who are at first cute, turn into fierce and awesome battlers. Most of the legendary Pokémon in this generation are intimidating yet memorable, ranging from Deoxys to Rayquaza. The characters ranging from the player character to the gym leaders have familiar aesthetics to relate to the majority of Pokémon’s fanbase.

There are lots of fan art that brought tons of variety to the Pokémon and human characters, and the results are spectacular. Once the remakes, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, arrived in 2014, the 𒊎nostalgia came back for fans who grew up with the original games from 2003 and the fan art expanded greatly. There were new concepts of fan art thanks to Mega Evolution and new characters to recreate in the artists’ style.

The third generation games are memorable for adding new mechanics that would become staples in future Pokémon games and the series wouldn’t be the same with🥀out them. Other than that, we would not ⛎have these amazing drawings fans all over the world made to show their love for these games.

Here's a look at twenty-five pieces of awesome fan art featuring Pokémon characters from the third generation!

25 Unique Gym Lead🧸ers

The gym leaders from the Hoenn region are known for having simple and casual de✅signs, and that helps them stand out compared to the other generations of Pokémon gym leaders. From Pixiv, this cute yet epic fan art done by does a lovely job.

The gym leaders, alongside Brendan, May, and Wally, are distinctive and the art style fits the characters perfectly. Seeing as how this fan art🌞 was done way before the remakes were confirmed, this is a nice gem on the internet.

24 🐻 Appearances Are Deceiving 🔜

These four sisters named Dana, Nita, Evelyn, and Morgan are gorgeous and captivating, but they provide a tough challenge. They debuted in the Pokémon X & Y, but they were originally from Hoenn, and in the Ruby & Sapphire remakes, they returned.

from deviantART makes the colors in this picture soft but very effective. The sisters are captured magnificently wi🧸th their personalities shown from their expressions. While they are beautiful, they are ruthle🐼ss in a Pokémon battle.

23 Wish Maker ൲ 🀅

Jirachi is an adorable legendary Pokémon that has the ability to grant wishes, and if you have seen the movie Jirachi Wish Maker, you can’t help but think it’s so precious.

While Jirachi is cute, opening its third eye is spooky.

Thankfully, this beautiful art focu🐭ses on Jirachi being adorable. from Pixiv created this piece and they have done a great job in making Jirachi look so cute. The background is cosmetic and magical as well, fitting the theme of Jirachi.

22 💦 Half Of The Eon Duo

Latias is an endearing part of the Eon duo alongsi💜de her brother Latios. She seems gentle at a first glance, but Latias can be a tough threat when it mega evolves. What makes this fan art remarkable is that it is actually an improvement from five years ago when the picture was uploaded.

from deviantART gave the fandom their take oꩵn the legendary Pokémon and the art style is beyond gorgeous. The clouds compliment Latias as it is a soaring Dragon and Psychic-type Pokémon, and Latias herself can be relied on as a flier in the remakes.

21 ꦅ Beloved Starter

Blaziken was the first final evolved starter from the Hoenn games to receive a Mega Evolution. It has always been a popular Pokémon▨ and it is incredibly strong. from deviantART used their fantastic artistic talents to bring this memorable Pokémon to life.

Once Blaziken mega evolves, it becomes completely broken.

The thought of having an overpowered Pokémon like Blaziken seems too good to be true, but there is no denying how good it is in battle despite its many weaknesses. While other starters from each generati❀on are memorable in their own way, Blaziken will always be one of the best final evolved starters of all time.

20 Rocky Golem 🐽

The Golems from Ruby & Sapphire offered clever puzzles to get them, and once we encountered them, we are greeted with epic battle music. This cool picture cam💞e from de𓆏viantART’s , who made Regirock look solid and tremendous.

Regirock resides in the Desert Ruins and its puzzle is different depending on which version you are playing. It is gifted with sk✤y-high defense, but its other stats are lacking for a legendary Pokémon. Regardless, it is an intriguing Pokémon in the third generation.

19 ꦉ ಞ Chilling Golem

The second of the legendary titans, Regice does lack compared to the others due to its weaknes🌺ses to common types like Fire, Fighting, and Rock, but at least it has a cool sounding cry.

It is known for having the highest special defense out of every legendary Pokémon.

from Tumblr made this artwork, and boy does the atmosphere give off a subtle, but chilling vibe. It is nice to see how 🃏Regice i𓆏s in a completely different location compared to its original one from the games, giving it a more appropriate place to reside in.

18 Iron Golem 🍌 ꧒

The last of the golems, Registeel is epic in its own right, but it did leave some controversy due to its original sprite. It had to be changed in the Europeaওn versions, though it still remains 🌃an awesome legendary Pokémon.

This was made by from deviantART, who made other fantastic pieces of fan art for Pokémon. His rendition of Registeel is one of the best on the internet, and it makes the St༺eel-type legendary a menacing but worthy opponent.

17 Out Of This W🐈orld 𝓀

Deoxys is a Pokémon that has interesting , being formed by a mutation of a virus from space. It can change𝕴 into three different forms that specialize in its stats, giving it great variety 🔴in whatever way the player chooses.

from deviantART created this creepy, yet very𒁏 detailed drawing that gives✨ us the shivers while also taking inspiration from when the player first encounters Deoxys in the remakes. It is also an incredibly tough Pokémon to catch too, being at level 80.

16 ꧅ El🦄egant Sea Serpent

Milotic is c♋onsidered to be the most beautiful Pokémon of all time, at least according to some Pokédex entries. It is absolutely gorgeous and it really has꧋ an enchanting design despite being a simple sea serpent.

On deviantART, created this ♊fan art and the atmosphere is breathtaking. While the location this Milotic is at might be in Mt. Coronet from the Sinnoh region, this is a breathtaking depiction of the Tender Pokémon.
