A Pokemon fan has created Paradox forms for Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert, reimagining the Hoenn starter evolutions with a new look. With the release of the Gen 9 games, Pokemon fans were introduced to new stories and gimmicks such as Paradox Pokemon. This select group of pocket monsters come from different parts of the Pokemon world's timeline and have their appearance influenced by this.
While there are Future Paradox Pokemon, the group known as Ancient Paradox Pokemon are prehistoric ancestors of contemporary Pokemon. The most notable Ancient Paradox Pokemon is Koraidon, the Legendary Pokemon featured as Pokemon Scarlet's mascot. Paradox Pokemon have inspired the creation of impressive makeovers for pocket monsters from previous generations, imagining new appearances and stories for them. That's the case of a talented Pokemon fan who shared their spin on the starters of one of the generations most beloved by the community.
Reddit user Mindrawz has created paradox forms for Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert, reimagining the evolutions of Hoenn's starters. Named Wandering Forest, Fiery Kicks, and Furious Quake, the paradox forms of the Gen 3 starters are Ancient Paradox Pokemon. Wandering Forest is similar in shape to a brontosaurus, with a large neck wrapped in a green mane with the same design as Sceptile's head. Like Blaziken, Fiery Kicks has feathers in shades of black, red, and beige, but unlike its counterpart, it has a pair of wings and an overall design strongly reminiscent of Zapdos' Galarian form. Furious Quake takes inspiration from Swampert's design and transforms it into a Paradox Pokemon with a mixture of salamander and draconic features.
Pokemon Fan Gives Paradox Forms to Hoenn Starter Evolutions
As well as creating three striking designs for Hoenn's starters, the artist gave details of their types, with Wandering Forest, Fiery Kicks, and Furious Quake being, respectively, Grass/Poison, Flying/Fighting, and Ground/Dragon-type Pokemon. They also shared some details like the fact that Galarian Zapdos inspired the creation of Fiery Kicks. Wandering Forest was created with the idea of a "walking Christmas tree," and Furious Quake was inspired by axolotls. Despite this, others have commented on the similarity between Furious Quake and Almudron, one of the most notable creatures from Monster Hunter Wilds.
Although they are Pokemon from one of the first three generations, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can find the Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby starters. To catch the trio of starters from Hoenn in the Indigo Disk DLC, players need to fulfill a few requirements, the first of which is to unlock the Blueberry League Club. By following these steps, Pokemon players can now find Mudkip, Torchic, and Treecko, as well as other Pokemon that aren't original to Paldea or Kitakami.
