Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has devised a few fictitious ads for Kool-Aid starring popular monsters from thePokemonfranchise. The fan came up with four flavors ofPokemon-inspired Kool-Aid based on creatures such as Tentacruel, Pikachu, Blastoise, and Chansey.
ThePokemonbrand is estimated to be valued at something around $90 to 100 billion, which puts it among the world’s most valuable intellectual properties. Due to the extensive success of the franchise, it’seasy to findPokemonmerchandise, including items such as clothing, plushies, trading cards, and action figures, for example. However, despite its popularity with children, thePokemonseries never actually had an official crossover with the American brand of flavored drink mix Kool-Aid.
Now, one artistic fan has decided to create a fictitious collection ofPokemon-inspired Kool-Aid ads. The Reddit user BigInHell has been sharing some of their artwork showcasing differentPokemonflavors for Kool-Aid in the last few days, and they have amazed the community with the quality of their artwork. BigInHell has come up with special flavors for fourpopular monsters in thePokemonfranchise, including Tentacruel (Berry Cherry), Pikachu (Peachachu Mango), Blastoise (Blue Raspberry), and Chansey (Pink Lemonade).
Pokemon Kool-Aid Fan Art
Overall, the design of these pieces is generally pretty faithful to the official versions of these creatures. One nice detail added by the creator is that each of the Pokemon depicted in the fake ads seems to be made out of glass and filled with liquid, and some of them have already been half-drank, which gives the art an interesting 3D feel.
While impressive, this is not the only amazing artwork that thePokemoncommunity has seen in the last few days. For example, aPokemon Black and Whitefan recently designedseveral human forms for Gen 5 Pokemon. The artist showcased 12 different works, including human depictions of Emboar, Samurott, Liepard, Leavanny, Swoobat, Crobat, Krookodile, Ampharos, Vanilluxe, Lucario, Seismitoad, and Gothitelle.
Aside from crossovers with other franchises or brands and artworks that turn Pokemon into humans, one of the most popular types of fan art that is often praised by thePokemoncommunity is switching the type of popular creatures. Earlier this week, a fan decided toswitch the types ofPokemon’s Gen 4 starters. By creating a Plant-type Empoleon, a Fire-type Torterra, and a Water-type Infernape, this fan subverted expectations and ended up with pretty creative designs that reimagine Empoleon as a huge cactus-inspired creature, for example.
