Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has made the three Johto starters in crochet form, with adorable results. The trio of starters made their debut way back inPokemon Gold and Silver, but each still have many fans in thePokemoncommunity.
Pokemon Gold and Silverintroduced Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile as the Grass, Fire, and Water-type starters, respectively. The three fulfilled the difficult task of being cute, powerful, and appealing after fans had already fallen in love with Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle fromPokemon Red and Blue. Every generation’s set of starters brings back fond memories for fans, especially when it’s a player’s first introduction to thePokemonseries. These three crochet dolls would likely appeal to anyone who remembers thesecond generation of Pokemonwith fondness.
Pokemon crochet artist ConstanzaL shared their creations with fans on the Pokemon subreddit. The three crochet dolls recreate Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile in excellent detail. The three can sit up on their own and are made out of vivid colors that pop. The starters aren’t missing a single detail, from the little buds around Chikorita’s neck to a layer of fluff standing in asCyndaquil’s flameson its back.
Fans in the comments have been quick to shower ConstanzaL with praise for their creations. Those who are particularly interested in these three or who want to make their own versions of them are in luck. ConstanzaL sells their plush crochet creations in their Etsy shop, and for the more creatively-inclined, they also make their own patterns available for purchase. While crochet projects like these aren’t the easiest thing in the world, lots ofPokemon fans seem to also be Amigurumi enthusiasts, so there’s probably some who would happily make their own versions.
The Pokemon Starters May Play a Role in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
The next major game in the series,Pokemon Legends: Z-A, isbringing back Mega Evolutions. As starters, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Totodile have received Mega Evolutions previously, so there’s a good chance that they’ll show up in some respect in the upcoming title. While many fans are curious about what Pokemon will get Mega Evolutions for the first time, it seems highly likely that the series isn’t going to leave out any Pokemon that previously got the upgrade.
Whether the game takes Mega Evolutions any further remains to be seen, but the developer has barely scratched the surface of revealing the game’s contents so far. Chances are there will be some surprises in store, so fans should keep an eye out for further announcements.
