50 Pokémon Drawings That Show What They Would Look Like As Humans

If there is one game that still remains popular today despite the many decades that have already passed, it's definitely Pokémon. The game was developed by Game Freak and launched by Nintendo in 1996, bringing Pokémon Green and Red into the world to play on the Game Boy console.

These two initial installments reached the American mainstream a little later in 1998, but over the past two decades, the Green, Red, and Blue versions of the game have sold a total of over 31 million units, as of December 2020. This leads us to wonder: what is it about Pokémon games that continues to captivate people, even with the same formula, storylines, and themes being reused with minor tweaks?

Alongside the popularity of anime shows, Pokémon has cemented its reputation as a game and show that will truly live on for generations to come. This franchise mainly appeals to children under the age of 10, but due to the cultural impact it has had over the last three decades, as well as the release of Pokémon Go in 2016, it remains something that adults also become obsessed with (and not just the hardcore fans!).

That being said, with the kind of influence and popularity that Pokémon holds, many creatives have been inspired to draw unique interpretations of the characters' appearances. Among the popular works are the Pokémon themselves being transformed into human versions—and while that may sound somewhat creepy at first, you would definitely be surprised and enlightened by how these artists bring the characters to life!

One of those talented artists is Tamtadi, a Korean creative who is on a mission to personify every single Pokémon. Take a look at 50 of his drawings below, which are part of the original Pokémon Indigo League generation that features 151 characters.
