  • Fans eagerly await the finished product, with many praising the progress and creativity.
  • Pokemon series items inspire fans to create unique and iconic replicas, reflecting their love for the franchise.

A Pokemon fan has shared the impressive Poke Flute replica they're working on, which will be a functioning, playable flute when they're done. The design does a great job of replicating how the original Poke Flute is depicted in the original games and anime, and Pokemon fans are excited to see how it develops.

The Poke Flute has been around since the original game, as well as the first season of the Pokemon anime. In the first generation Pokemon games, players will find that a Snorlax is blocking their path, and that there's no way to proceed around it. In order to get through, players have to gain a Poke Flute it and play it in front of the Snorlax, awakening it and triggering a battle. It was also usable in fights in the first-gen games and their remakes, and would wake up any sleeping Pokemon.

Now, a user on Reddit called xenpipes is sharing the impressive Poke Flute replica they're working on. The creation has been hand-sculpted out of clay, and is a perfect copy of the original design, looking like a recorder instrument with a Poke Ball near the bottom. While the design is incomplete, it already looks incredible, and according to xenpipes, it will be playable as a real flute once it's fired and finished. The finished piece would be an amazing thing to include in a Pokemon cosplay, especially if the cosplayer taught themselves how to play the tune that plays in the games.

Pokemon Fans are Eager to See More

Numerous users have responded to the post, and they seem to be impressed with xenpipes's work. Several had said that they're looking forward to both seeing and hearing the finished product, while others are more than impressed with the progress so far. One fan went so far as to say that Kurt, a Poke Ball smith first encountered in the second generation of games, would approve of the flute once it's completed.

With so many iconic items and objects coming out of the Pokemon series, it's no wonder that fans have an endless number of inspirations to draw from with pieces like this. Plenty of fans have made both perfect replicas of Poke Balls from the game as well as unique original Poke Ball designs, while others have brought things like the Pokedex or Pokemon GO's Egg Incubators to the real world. Chances are that the series and its icons will continue to inspire fans all over the world for generations to come.
