Over twenty years ago, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon debuted with its first games, Red & Green, in Japan. That later followed with Blue & Yellow versions with an international release. With its massive success and popularity, this first generation of Pokémon is what made the franchise a global phenomenon.
Of course, the Generation I would not have been as successful without the amazing bunc♋h of 151 original Pokémon. In particular, the three Kanto starters played a key role in making a good first impression on fans. Today, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and their evolutions are all iconic and beloved, as seen in all the amazing fan art dedicated to them.
10 Bulbac꧙actus By @Bulbacactus
Like many Pokémo𒊎n, Bulbasaur's design is based around a green plant. The bulb on its back can, therefore, be reinterpreted as the many different kinds of plants out there in the world.
Artist went for a desert-inspired Bulbasaur surrounded by a variety of succulents. Its bulb was transformed into a spiky and plump cactus with an orange flower on top as it rests amongst the other potted succulents. The sleepꦦing "Bulbacactus" is also accompanied by several Cutiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚefly who are curious and attracted to the cacti and Grass-type Pokémon.
9 Charizard's ⛄Child By @Hijirinoyuta 💫
Charizard is n🌠otorious for being one of Ash's most powerful and stubborn partner Pokémon in the anime. It refused to follow orders, liked to take naps on the battlefield, and would often burn the face off of its trainer with a ♛casual Flamethrower.
However, it seems as though Charizard has a m🍌uch sweeter side when it comes to taking care of one of its own. In this heartwarming fan🐷 art by , a happy and proud Charizard holds the hand of its baby as the Charmander looks back and waves goodbye.
8 ♔ Starter Iced Tea By @Super-zac-chen 🧸
It's tradition for the three starter Pokémon of each generation to be Grass, Water, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-types. As representatives of their types, Grass starters take on a green palette, the Fire-types are orange, and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Water-types are blue.
This refreshing and fruity fan art by playꦚs perfectly to each starter's respective type and color palette. A sleeping Charmander is relaxing in a pulpy citrus tea, Squirtle is swimming in a bubbly blueberry tea, and Bulbasaur is having fun in a kiwi tea with a leafy garnish. Each one of the teas are♎ almost too adorable to drink.
7 𒀰 Pokémayans By @Monarobot
ܫThe official character designs for each individual Pokémon take on an anime-style of ℱart that is identifiable to the TV series and franchise as a whole. And although the anime-style is fun and kid-friendly, Pokémon designs are iconic enough to still shine through in different styles of art from around the world.
The artist, , took that idea and reimagined Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise as Maya glyphs. All of the turtles give off mythical and fierce vibes, while Blastoise bares its teeth and unleashes o༒ne of its powerful Hydro Pumps.
6 Charmander Beach By @Koriarredondo ♏
As a Fire-type who can die if the flame on its tail ever goes out, Charmander prefers dry weather with clear skies. For exam🔯ple, a sunny day at the beach would be perfect for the tiny Fire 👍lizard.
In this summery fan art by , Charmander is relaxing in paradise with a sunhat and hammock near the shoreline. Two special touches t🦩o the artwork are its tail and paw. Rather than the usual orange flame, this Charmander possesses a blue flame, perhaps as a nod to Mega Charizard X. Meanwhile, the bottom of its paw has a precious little heart on it.
5 Mimikyu Starters By @Chibireiko 🧜
By now, every Pokémon fan knows about Mimikyu, the spooky Ghost/Fairy-type who not only disguises itself as Pikachu but also ranked significantly higher than the mascot in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:popularity vote for Pokémon of the Year.
The reason wh♊y Mimi𓄧kyu dresses as Pikachu specifically is that it seeks its popularity. Seeing how popular the Kanto starters are, it wouldn't be strange if Mimikyu began to dress up like them as well. Artist gives us a chilling glimpse of what Mimikyu would look like under the guise of Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
4 Ivysaur & Charmander By @Kainanh💖
One of the most iconic scenes from the Pokémon anime was when Charmander was abandoned by its trainer in the rain with only a leaf to protect it. As mentioned before, Charmander will, unfortunately, die if th𒆙e flame on its tail ever goes out. Thܫerefore, rainy areas are exceptionally dangerous for the Fire-type starter.
While Ash and his frieꦦnds saved Charmander in the anime, this fan art by shows a fellow Kanto starter coming to the rescue. As the Charmander sits to protect its tail, a friendly Ivysaur plops down next to it to shield it with one of its leaves.
3 🅘 Banana Split With Starters On Top By @Shattered-earth
The three Kanto starters, ꦦSquirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, are cute as it is, but who knew they could make such adorable toppers for ice cream and desserts?
drew a ꧙mouth-watering bowl of banana split with scoops of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream drizzled in sugary syrups. The three starters each sit on top of a scoop of ice cream with a dollop of whipped cream as their cushion. To top it all off, they each hold a maraschino cherry for an aesthetically pleasing sweet treat that no one can resist.
2 𒆙 🎃 Squad Leader By @Tamiart
Before Squirtle was the sweet and friendly partner Pokémon of Ash, it was actually the leader of the infamous Squirtle Squad. The band of mischievous Squirtles is known for their sunglasses and rebellious behavioꩵr.
This neat fan art by features one of the squad members posing confidently with a large body tattoo on display. It can be identified as the squad leader based on the sharp shades it sports. In addition, the shiny red Gyarados and raging waters represent how savage the Squirtle Squad can be despit♌e their small size.
1 🧔 𝓰 Ivysaur & Ramen By @Yasaikakiage
Like their trainers, Pokémon, too, need to eat in order to stay healthy, happy, and stro😼ng. While traveling across the region with their partner, Pokémon might not have access to the most gourmet foods out there. Some trainers will cook curry for their Pokémon partner, but others will settle for something simpler-instant ramen.
As seen in this wholesome picture by , Ivysa🌸ur is more than satisfied with a nice𒁏 and hot cup of instant ramen. Using its vine to pick up the fork, Ivysaur proves that even the simplest of things in life can be appreciated.
