Redditor dragubagu shared the awesome pieces of Pokemon artwork, which depicts various Fairy, Psychic, and Ice-types from across several Generations. Iconic legendaries such as Mew and Xerneas are represented, but there are a ton of recognizable designs here. A closer look even reveals some Pokemon regional forms, too, with the Alolan Vulpix being the most notable. Each one has been drawn in a pixel art style, making the pieces look like they could have been pulled from a Nintendo DS-era Pokemon game.

Several gamers in the thread pointed out some cute details with the pieces, including several Pokemon who appear to be breaking the fourth wall. Espurr, Inkay, and Clefairy all seem to be staring through the screen, as if they're aware of the viewer. Others asked dragubagu to turn the amazing Pokemon fan art pieces into a phone background, although this has yet to come to fruition. There was one thing that everyone in the thread could agree on - dragubagu did a great job with these pieces.

In 2026, the Pokemon franchise is set to turn 30 years old. It's an incredible milestone, considering its ongoing popularity. However, Game Freak is yet to confirm its plans for the occasion, with Pokemon Legends: Z-A currently set for release in 2025. Earlier this year, leaks suggested that Pokemon Generation 10 is planned for 2026, although nothing is official at the moment. It's unlikely that the 30th anniversary will go by without big celebrations, so the launch of Generation 10 at this time would make sense. Anything could change between now and then, though, so gamers will just have to wait for the announcement from Nintendo and Game Freak.
