The Pokemon franchise has added hundreds of designs to its roster since the original 150 were released in the 1990s. Its fanbase has taken these creations even further by adding an endless number of fusions and redesigns. In the latest example, one Pokemon fan took to recreating Squirtle with a Creature from the Black Lagoon twist.
The Pokemon franchise became popular in the United States in the late 1990s with Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. As of this writing, there are just under 900 Pokemon for players to encounter in the franchise’s games. The Creature from the Black Lagoon is a memorable black and white monster horror film from 1954 in which a scaly humanoid is hunted in the Amazon.
This particular creation is by u/CraigRosnerArt- and it perfectly captures both Squirtle and the Creature from the famous black and white monster movie. Renamed the Creature from the Kanto Lagoon, this new version of Squirtle is a perfect combination of adorable and a bit horrifying. Squirtle’s original blue color scheme has been replaced by the green coloration the Creature sports in the advertisements for the film. Scales adorn this new Pokemon’s tail, arms, and shell and its eyes are now a mix of yellow and orange. And the creator even mentions that similar combinations are likely on the way.
The Creature has become part of the iconic monster roster alongside Count Dracula and the Wolfman, making this combination perfect for Halloween. The design in the original Creature from the Black Lagoon looks just like a humanoid with scales all over and large gills around its neck and u/CraigRosnerArt- transferred that over perfectly. The new name is a perfect match as well as u/CraigRosnerArt- mentions the Kanto region where Pokemon players first met Squirtle.
Fan-made Pokemon combinations such as this one are a reminder of how iconic both the Creature from the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Squirtle are to their respective fanbases. It is because of this nostalgia and the fact that both Squirtle and the Creature are most comfortable in the water that choosing these two for this design works so well.
But one could argue that there are more memorable Pokemon and more iconic monsters to choose from for a Halloween creation. Ghosts, werewolves, and vampires would work just as well as options to choose from and there are other Pokemon from the first generation that are just as iconic as Squirtle. Either way though, u/CraigRosnerArt- made an impressive new spooky version of Squirtle.
