puxa ficou aterrorisante, mas legal
Gengar scared the sh** out of me but ironically my fave pokemon looked like a badass glowing wolf
son bastante buenos te felicito hermano!
You ruined mudkip
Awesome!!!
Thats Umbreons as very beautiful, I love yet.
Each one a master-piece in its own sense, though i wouldnt have loved watching pokemon if they really looked…surely would have scared the hell out of me…kudos to your work…
So I say we just let Them be. Togepi was especielly disturbing
MAN THIS ARE THE BADEST ART WORK IV HAVE EVERSEEN.. IM LOVING EACH ONE DON’T CARE WHAT OTHERE THINK. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE WAY YOU SEE THIS CREATURS THROW YOUR EYES.. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HOPE TO SEE MORE
EPIC!!!!!!!
They are so awesome!
Dude, do Gardevoir, (but a sexy version but also realistic)
I would like a darkrai too…but Umbreon and Milotic were my Favorite!
your f.d up
um no thank you! Except for Umbreon. I love umbreon!
This makes me kinda glad Pokemon dont exist…. though i still love the original 102!
That Togepi will haunt my nightmares…
Charmander, not Chameleon. *
Most of these were great. I loved the concept of Hybrid, Pokemon meets Humanity, in the MewTwo shot but Mew itself was a let down. Chameleon and a lot of Bulbasaurs lacked the original design, despite the artwork being amazing. I loved the Lucario, the Alakazam (despite not agreeing with his mane), the Typhlosion (because that is how they would raised their young), Victreebell, the Blastoise before MewTwo, and both Koffing and Weezing. Mum looks difficult, but I couldn’t say I think that’s what it would be like. Keep it up, I’d love to see each of the 151.
I see you are missing flareon and espeon.
good/fail… they all look too alien like… like half of the eevee evolvments are good and the alien part goes well with mewtwo but just no on the rest…
Awesome!! Some are kinda scary but pretty cool!!
wow these are better than the real thing. If pokemon looked like these I would actually like them way more. Seriously, if pokemon even existed this is closest to what they would look like. Not creepy at all, BADASS.
these ar pretty bad ass, you should draw a raikou
I gotta say, the alakazham and the lucario are the best two.
By far, one of my favorite posts by you guys. Creepy but very detailed and nicely done.
Those all r really scary…n having lot of scope for improvement
TRUE some are a little too out there but forget all those people who say they dont like these man! Im a girl and i say forget them! these are some of the best concepts for pokemon realism out there! great job love it!
i don’t like it. The art is great and everything but they are ungly and creepy I would never want it a pokemon like this if i was a pokemon trainer.
These are the dopest set of pics I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I agree with some people on the thread who say some of the pokemon should be more cute but yo I think these are spot on (with the exception of togepi, chansey, the first charmander, and wtf is up with Raichu throwing me dueces? lol). My top 3, Poliwrath, Milotic, and Lucario. Another 50 please and thanks – Blaow
Wow these are amazing I do have to admit though I think ones like Pikachu, Eve, Mew should’ve been … cuter… Lol that’s just the girl opinion though, Eve looks kinda creepy. Overall they look awesome, well done!
I love this! this is the things i hope to be able to do
That Poliwhirl (or Poliwrath) Creeped me out -_-,
IS THAT POLIWHIRL eating that poor little poliwag?
your works are awesome,but in my opinion,could you make some of them look a bit more graceful or cuter?? for some of the cute and beautiful characters…
I like the Typhlosions the most
Do one of Altaria please
The creepier they are the better, with some exceptions ( chancy, mew, and togepi right off the bat ). None of the Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venesaur pics really clicked, i would like to see those improve. Overall, these are awesome, and i wish i could draw like this
…While some rare of them (namely Ghastly, Haunter (NOT GENGAR) and few more) are similiar to originals, most are totally not like the real ones…
some of them look about right but some don’t and what’s with all the circular mouths full of teeth?
The togepi got me like wtf, it still creeps me out. I’d kick it if it looked like that.
Very Nice!!!! Never thought cute Pokemons can become scary. ;-) All renditions are awesome. Especially the one with Bulbasaur lifecycle thing.
woow these r simply awesome!!! a realistic touch!
Sheer amazingness. Are any of these available as prints for purchase?
I will never seen pokemon the same like before again.
they should make a pokemon movie (real life) and use these pictures and make them into real life, if that all makes sense, haha
HOLY COW!!!!!!! I would so keep them all as pets. But i would pee my pants if i saw the mew. *Shiver*
Yea some of these are too creepy, not enough diversity in your art. Not all of them would be so weird in real life. Try and change things up
sheeze! Y0ur art is s0 fantastic!but it freaked me out to seE s0me p0kem0ns that l00ks like mutants. I d0nt wanNa hug my togepi again! Haha
well, after looking through these, the artwork is amazing, id have to say, if these things were real, and we had pokeballs to catch em in, it would be awsome…Mew 2 reminds me of an alien….just an alien… awsome job though…look forward to seeing more of em.
They’re all amazing. The art is great. I love it. But they just creep me out lol. But they look so realistic, it’s not even funny. Great job!
holy crap!! some of them are plain ugly but the others…i was so shocked. oh my god. your skills are fricken AMAZING!! holy crap is all i have to say. idk which is my fave.
i just wish they werent so creepy looking
Loved them I think they should do a live action movie with these styled characters
pokempn contains subliminal message/pictures who can hypnotize children
Way to ruin the series
that’s what i called AARRTT AAMMAAZZIINNGG!!!!!! i wish i had that skill!!!

love them all they are so awesome iwant them to make a real life movie i reckon it would look good
They are awesome! In reality they would surely be like this. I think mewtwo is very realistic compared to others. Continue the good work. It really caught my eye. All the best!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhh my mudkip is so hidius but nice work though
they’re evil
‘I choose YOU – WEEZING!’
‘AAAAH WTF KILL IT KILL IT! OMFG IT’S EATING ME!’
Amazing, i love the blastoise one :)
well…the only thing that stays close to real pokemon is snorlax and lucario,the rest r pure creepy.wtdouche…
I’d piss my pants if I ever seen Mr.mime in real life
Nice work!!!
lol i magine somebody huuging this togepi….:s
hi!there those where amazing the way u transform them from cute to creepy im so amaze and im a bit scared hehe..
O.O I just cried for thirty minutes…. Oh god i just saw Mew again. In going to throw up. Its not that they are terrible, they just freak the crap out of me (like Togepy). I mean theyre great… but that just ruined my (Ctd.) childhood. I am scarred fo life
e_o
wow. . .im a fan and i really like it. . .eventhough the pokemon’s cuteness was not shown^^,
You have great talent, I’ve seen also your website.Hope you’ll be succesfull and wish you best of luck!
They are not cute but pretty awesome styling skills though
its scary..
i like ur talent… awesome…browo
Amazing design!
But Chansey should be a bit bigger and a bit sturdy..if i remember right..its the most gentle pokemon but also a tough one if its mad…the design for chansey looks like it wont be able to get up if it was tackled ^_^
Lucario, Scyther, Mew, Umbreon…..LOOOOVE! This was really well done…..I’m in awe….kudos to the artist!
Mewtwo looks like Voldermort!!!!
HOLY CRAP, THESE ARE AMAZING. They’re not cute, but the cutesy image of pokemon are totally unrealistic. I could recognize each one, and this is pretty much how I guess they’d be in real life! And SOME of them are cute. Some of the more sinister pokemon, though? Totally. Freakin’. Awesomely. Creepy.
I love these, this makes pokemon cool again and I completely disagree with people saying they should be cuter. Cute does not equal realistic and if they were cute they would just look like the childrens cartoon. Great take on this! Just awesome.
Very nice drawings. Although some pokemons should be cuter because it doesn’t match them gruesome looking. But the ones who does looks simply amazing.
they should remake pokemon in this style, amazing, and think more intresting for adults

Really nice tips, i learned more. And it is more useful for me.. Please keep on post like this..
this makes me wat an umbreon….although the other ones creep me out O.o (i had a nightmare with that darn gengar in it *shudders*)
well this is the reason why pokémon have been cutisized, if they were like this then no children would watch it >.<
They’re all epic, but not cute. These have taken away the cuteness of Pokemon.
And I have to do what a 12 years old?
Seriously though, the reason some of these are creepy are because of something called the uncanny valley. The artwork transalates not unreality to reality, but approachible caricatures (ingraved into our minds to be cute) to inapproachible, insinent beast.
all in all I love it.
I personally think all these drawings are amazing, but I prefer Pokemon the old fashioned way. The original show and trading cards were based on manga and anime. I think the originals are much more traditional and they’re way cuter! :D
Some are ewww…
Some are awesome…
Some looked too real for me to accept that it was true (Togepy for instance)
But over all I like them!!!
man this design are so amazing if u can make a game from this design it will be more awsome and loved by this game s fan than the old pokemon they are all the same or making a movie is perfect too thnx
amazing is the only word for this.
These are amazing. Stuff of nightmares, yes, and terrifyingly detailed, but utterly amazing. I’m starting to regret those fantasies of having Pokemon in real life. *shudder* I’d probably be traumatized for life if I woke up to a realistic Togepi or a Venonat staring at me.
THE CREATIONS ARE AWESOME, but I think some Pokemons should retain their cuteness..:)
They’re not monsters.. :)
But I love the pictures anyway.. :) (who am I to critic an artists interpretation?)
This is absolutely amazing <3
This is absolutely amazaing <3
The art in itself is creepy and very aggressive. You would never expect to envision them like this in real humanoid like art. But in some deep, visceral level, I kinda am not surprised. Simply amazing and beautiful. It just screams the word “Monsters” in “Pokemon”. Kudos to the artists!

If Pokemon were real, and they looked anything like the above art, if anything ever approached me EVER I would just scream and run. SCREAM AND RUN!
Wow, amazing designs..would look cool on a website!
raichu looks pretty awesome
That would be the sickness remake ever made of cartoon!
wow, real pokemons huh?artwork is beutiful for sure but truth is truth, pokemon is ruined(tough, lots of things happens here to ruin my childhood but non of them ever gets a succes.do i have stone heart?)
Pikachu, Charmander, Gengar, Haunter, and Muk are mine!
These are seriously amazing. Anyone who used to play Pokemon, look at these.
Wow…the polywrath is brutal stuff.
Some hit and some miss. But overall, awesome art.
Ughhh its toooo detailed!
I agree with most of these pictures, but I really don’t think that’s wat mime would look like.
the Pikachu, Sandslah, and Gastly, are awesome, but it destroy my favorite poliwhrath!
Oh my god, pokemon in real life are hella scary.
I am appalled and disgusted! Yet… I’m amazed. So, so amazed. This is real art.
Many of them are utterly weird, whilst some of them are actually acceptable. Still, I admire the amount of imagination this guy has.
The last cindaquil evolution rulz!
Lets hope for a real life movie of Pokemon (fanboy scream)!
Scary but awsome at the same time.
HD POKEMONS!! you can see their true colors! .. hahaha
