Summary
APokemon Scarlet and Violetfan has given one of Generation 9’s most bland designs a much-needed makeover. This particular design has received plenty of criticism fromPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers, and this fan may have given it the strongest redesign yet.
Every Pokemon design has its own fans. With over 1,000 designs to choose from, some are more popular than others. ThePokemonfranchise boasts an enormous number of fans, many of whom are artists who like to pay tribute to their own favorite designs from each Generation. Many of these pieces actually redesign existing Pokemon, with fans looking to put their own spin on their favorites. There was even onePokemonfan who redesigned Charizard’s evolution line, showing that not even the most iconic designs are safe from fan-made updates.
Redditor YosemiteHamsYT shared their fan art, which redesignsGeneration 9’s Pokemon Flamigo. The changes made are impressive, adding a ton of personality with a bold red redesign. It almost looks as if the Flamigo is wearing clothes, prompting one user in the thread to joke, “More like Flamenco!” Another user pointed out that this redesign makes Flamigo look like an evolution of Oricorio, and given the similar colors, it’s definitely easy to see how it could be seen that way.
Generation 9 Pokemon Flamigo Gets an Impressive Redesign
Upon the release ofPokemonGeneration 9, Flamigo was widely criticized by fans of the franchise. The name wasn’t particularly witty, and the original design looked just like a flamingo. In previous Generations, there would be some unique elements to separate the Pokemon from their real-life animal equivalent. For many, it was a sign that Game Freak was running out of ideas. However, this has opened up an opportunity for redesigns of Flamigo in the community. One impressive piece ofPokemonfusion art even combined Flamigo and Torterra, creating something entirely new altogether. As YosemiteHamsYT has shown, there’s still a lot more that can be done with Flamigo yet.
With 2025 seeing the release ofPokemon Legends: Z-A, and 2026 serving as the 30th anniversary of the franchise, it’s going to be a strong period to be aPokemonfan. One rumor has suggested thatPokemonGeneration 10 will be released in 2026, and given this lines up with such a huge anniversary, it would make a ton of sense. While nothing is officially confirmed about Generation 10, gamers can rest easy knowing that there’s a lot of great content on the horizon when it comes to thePokemonfranchise.
