These Pokemon Were Designed by H.P. Lovecraft



After looking at these re-imagined Pokemon, I'm never going to sleep ever again. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Bulbasaur R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

The newer generations in Nintendo's hit Pokemon series have brought with them some very strange new 'mons (I'm looking at you, Nosepass [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nosepass_(Pok%C3%A9mon)]) but for the most part the franchise has retained its cute, kid-friendly look from start to finish.

Naturally, artists love to change that. I'm personally a fan of the Pokemon a la traditional Japanese paintings [http://blog.livedoor.jp/agraphlog-asamegraph/temp/pokehyaku.html] collection, myself - but what we see here is something completely different. These aren't traditional Pokemon; these aren't necessarily realistic Pokemon; they are just really, really freaky Pokemon.

This was originally spotted (and the full image can be seen) over at Reddit Gaming [http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/bwjn8/pok%C3%A9mon_of_the_damned/] - does anyone know where this originally comes from? I'm curious to see the artist's take on some of the other Pokemon... in a morbid sort of way, of course.

It's not quite Locecraftain in terms of ball stomping horror but it's still pretty damn scary looking. What is that rock looking one anyways?

It looks like the fascination with alternative, evil worlds is springing up. I can definitely see Sudowoodo and Farfetch'd there.

Now I need a lordly bathe in the blood of the innocent.

coolest thing I've seen in a few days. That Arbok just looks great. That thing on the left I assume is a "Paras" is just disgusting, though.

Wow, really scary pocket monsters.

Is that a severed Sudowodo?
Methinks it was supposed to have been cut by that farfetch'd, samurai anime style (kinda like the beginning of Ninja Gaiden).
