Pokemon Fan Creates Realistic Version of Sprigatito

A Pokemon fan created a realistic illustration of the Paldea starter Sprigatito. The Grass-type Pokemon was first introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as part of Gen 9.

Over the years, Pokemon has presented several monsters whose designs are combinations of real-life animals with objects. One of them is Sprigatito, who is an adorable Grass-type cat Pokemon and one of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet‘s starters, along with Quaxly and Fuecoco. Given how both cats and Pokemon have really large fanbases, cat-like Pokemon are often the inspiration for official merchandise or fan creations. Occasionally, fans will use fan art to interpret what these cute creatures would look like if they existed. One Sprigatito lover envisioned the feline’s image in reality.

The Pokemon fan shared an incredible illustration of a realistic version of Sprigatito. Using markers and ink, Reddit user DreamShiftThing interpreted a real-life Sprigatito by giving it the anatomy of a real cat. The fan went with a shade of ivory for the fur and gave the Pokemon big green leaves around its head and neck, similar to the game’s original design.

Pokemon Fan Shares Realistic Version of Sprigatito

Under the post’s thread, many fans were impressed by the original artist’s talent and creativity. One comment asked if there would be a realistic Meowscarada in the future, to which the artist responded positively but not without drawing Floragato first. Of course, a realistic interpretation of Floragato would be very interesting since it has one of the best designs among Grass-type Pokemon.

Realistic imaginings of Pokemon are a frequent trend for fan creations. Although this Sprigatito is adorable, other fan arts result in terrifying forms of Pokemon. One fan shared a very scary realistic version of Mewtwo while another shared a monstrous 3D model of Tyranitar.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched in 2022 and added 120 new entries to the Pokedex. Since then, many fans can’t help but wonder when the next generation of Pokemon will arrive. Some leaks suggested that Gen 10 would drop in 2026, but there is no formal confirmation of this yet. On the other hand, the return of Mega Evolutions with Pokemon Legends: Z-A has excited Pokemon lovers. The game’s release is scheduled for 2025 and even though Game Freak hasn’t shared much new information, there is a chance Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be featured in the next Pokemon Presents. Following Pokemon tradition, this event should occur in August, which can give fans something to look forward to.
