Fan art is an important part of thePokemoncommunity, with gamers often sharing unique designs online. One popular challenge that fan artists enjoy is creating realistic versions of existing Pokemon. Over the years, gamers have taken classic creatures and imagined what they might look like in the real world, often giving them more detail than their more stylized in-game variants.
One gamer, known as Cryptnoch on Reddit, reworkedKoraidon’s design fromPokemon Scarletand shared it with the community. The redesign made the Pokemon more realistic and included more detail in the creature’s features. This artwork leaned heavily into Koraidon’s reptile attributes, giving the creature clearly defined scales along with its existing feathers. Among the highlights was the reworked gular sac, with the new design losing a bit of its similarity to a tire in favor of realism. The artist even revealed that they had made a sticker of the design.
