A gifted Pokemon fan creates a playful fatherly version of the beloved first-generation pocket monster, Kangaskhan.
HIGHLIGHTS
- A male Kangaskhan has been created by a Pokemon fan artist, who chose to carry the infant on its shoulders as opposed to in a pouch.
- Popular Pokemon are frequently reimagined by fan artists in inventive and novel ways, such as by creating new evolutions, infant forms, and regional variations.
- A Poison-type Eevee evolution is among the many fan-made Pokemon inventions that JJonnie, the artist responsible for the male Kangaskhan design, has shared with the community.
A talented Pokemon fan artist designed a patriarchal version of Kangaskhan. Of course, in Pokemon lore, Kangaskhan is the only female species. Described as the “parent Pokémon”, Kangaskhan is usually seen with its baby inside its pouch, similar to a kangaroo.
Reddit user JJonnie designed a male Kangaskhan and is sharing his unique creation with the community. Unlike the traditional female Kangaskhan, the male version does not have a pouch. Instead, it carries its baby on its shoulders. Even Jay Joni added a bit of background to his creation, claiming that the male Kangaskhan is “more playful” than the female version. The father likes to toss his child in the air “but sometimes drops it.” The artist even illustrates this in his post.
JJonnie’s Diverse Pokemon Artistry
Over the years, JJonnie has shared a ton of fan-made, Pokemon-inspired creations with the community. More recently, a Pokemon fan artist created a poison-type Eevee evolution. On top of that, JJonnie has created Pokemon in a variety of unique forms, mixed multiple creatures together, and even blended different styles through franchise crossovers.
Even after the end of the Indigo Disk DLC, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players are still flocking to Sword and Shield thanks to the shiny Legendaries. Of course, many legendary Pokemon were made available through the Indigo Disk DLC, but fans were disappointed to find that all of the creatures were shiny off. However, this expansion has proven to be a great place for flashy Hunt starter Pokemon from previous generations as they have been added to the game after a considerable amount of grinding.
Outside of the official franchise, Paulworld is causing quite a stir. Unofficially called “Pokémon with guns,” Palworld has enjoyed a successful launch so far. In fact, Paulworld has overtaken Counter-Strike as the second most compatible player on Steam of all time. Of course, Pokemon has seen its fair share of clones and knockoffs, but Pokemon seems to stand out a bit more given its incredible success. Pokemon will look to regain momentum with its next title, but that game has yet to be announced. Pokemon has become an almost annual franchise at this point, but there are currently no officially announced games for fans to follow Scarlet and Violet.
