Pokemon Fan Imagines Ogerpon as a Genshin Impact Character

A dedicated Pokemon fan has created a piece of art that transforms new Legendary Pokemon Ogerpon into a human character that looks straight out of the popular Action-RPG title Genshin Impact. The fan-made drawing, which cleverly adapts many of Ogerpon’s defining features into a human form, is quickly gaining traction on an online Pokemon forum.

Introduced fairly recently as part of Pokemon‘s ninth generation with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet‘s The Teal Mask DLC, Ogerpon is a Grass-type Legendary Pokemon that can alter its typing depending on the mask it wears. Able to swap between a pure Grass-type and dual-types Grass/Water, Grass/Fire, and Grass/Rock, trainers must defeat all four of these forms near the end of The Teal Mask‘s main narrative if Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players want to catch Ogerpon for themselves.

Pokemon Fan Art Shows What Nincada’s Evolution Line Would Look Like as Humans

An artistically inclined Pokemon fan has come up with some creative ideas on what Nincada’s evolution line would look like as humans.

The person responsible for creating the impressive Genshin Impact-like human Ogerpon is a Reddit user with the handle of X-Stry, posting their work to one of the site’s leading Pokemon pages. The artist easily translates Ogerpon’s cloak-like body into clothing similar to the Festival Jinbei players acquire early on in The Teal Mask DLC. Ogerpon’s face-framing thorny vine is transformed into a hood, with the Teal Mask itself attached to her hip. Ogerpon’s cudgel appears to be largely unchanged, backed by silhouettes of Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti – a clever detail given the lore between Ogerpon and The Loyal Three.

The Genshin Impact-inspired human version of Ogerpon is clearly a hit with many Pokemon fans, with the post breaking the triple digits in upvotes within hours of being posted. While this version of Ogerpon certainly seems to be time well spent, as the artist claims the drawing took over two hours to make, they aren’t the first fan to create this concept. Last year, another Pokemon fan created a human form for Ogerpon. Translating the Pokemon’s cloaked body into similar clothing, this rendition has a few interesting differences, like incorporating the thorny vine into the hairstyle instead of a hood.

Making a Big (Genshin) Impact

In addition to making Pokemon into Genshin Impact characters, fans have also turned popular Genshin Impact characters into Pokemon. Another Redditor came up with a whopping 14 different concepts for Pokemon and their evolutions based on various Genshin Impact characters, including popular ones such as Faruzan, Wanderer, Dehya, Lyney, Lynette, and more. Such imaginative crossover art is a testament to the incredibly prolific output in both quantity and quality the Pokemon fandom produces.
