My 21 Reimagined Orange Pokémon As Human-Like Characters

Well, during the time I made the collection, I didn't have a lot of orange-related Pokémon. So some Pokémon such as Ponyta and Rapidash (though having a more white beige body color) were chosen to be in the collection for the flames. The same can be said for Goldeen, but I feel the orange patterns on Goldeen stand out the most when looking at the Pokémon.

All of my characters I create all have heart and soul put into each of them and that also goes for the orange collection. But some of my favorites from the Orange Collection are the Ponyta line, the Charmander line, the Goldeen line, and I really love the lore for Teddiursa.

For example, Teddiursa is a young boy born into a family of travelers. He and his father (who is an Ursaring gijinka) love to explore the world and their surroundings. My Goldeen line is based upon ballerinas, so both characters work together in theater when performing and they have a close bond with trust. The Charmander line is basically a story about a boy who has ambitions to be a great leader, but has selfish entitlement. But during his journey with the other Kanto starter gijinkas, he learns about trust, self control and nobility and becomes a better person overall. And as for the Ponyta line's lore, it's so long. But let's just say it's mainly about sibling rivalry.

I am currently drawing all the Pokémon humanized in National Dex order, but there are some moments I just want to draw a Pokémon ahead of time due to me either really wanting to draw it, or due to events, such as my Lilipup. I love the Pokémon Lilipup so much, I decided to draw it as a humanization ahead of time. And while I'm on the topic of Lilipup, when it comes to elements of how I designed the humanization for that Pokémon, I look into a multitude of things such as the origin of the Pokémon, the biology of the Pokémon, or what inspired me during that time. When I look at the Lilipup line as a whole, they all remind me of nobility and have that royal look, hence why I drew Lilipup in such a manner.

I will be doing the same when I get to its evolutions. Herdier will be a male knight/fencer protecting Lilipup, while Stoutland will be a noble powerful woman. But for all my humanizations, it all depends on what I feel can benefit, either its origin or just an idea in general.

The responses to my work have been heartwarming, supportive, and encouraging. I have plans to make more collections very soon. And I hope within the Pokémon community, more endeavors and opportunities can come my way. I would love to do collaborations with some great artists someday.
