APokemonfan artist had the amazing idea of giving Milotic a mega evolution. OfficiallyPokemonhas over 1,000 monsters, but in practice, this number is even higher when considering variants. Each generation of games brings a different concept that gives Pokemon new appearances, and spices up the experience of playingPokemon.
One of the different gimmicks introduced to players in nine generations ofPokemongames is the mega evolution. The mechanic debuted in Gen 6 and consisted ofgiving Pokemon temporary evolutions. Not all Pokemon have earned the mega evolution treatment, but the Pokemon that got one changed their look quite a bit. The mega evolution mechanic caused such a shock amongPokemonfans, with some pointing out its simliarity to evolutions inDigimon.

Reddit user MarceloGiribaldi shared fan art that imagines what it would look like if Milotic had a mega evolution. Fans first saw the Water-type Pokemon in Gen 3 and learned about its curious history. Milotic’s pre-evolution Feebas has a rather unattractive appearance and is ignored even by other Pokemon. When Feebas evolves, however, its look completely changes as Feebas transforms into the beautiful Milotic. MarceloGiribaldi’s fan art elevates Milotic’s original design by creating a mega evolution with a rainbow-colored body, blue antennae, a pearl on its forehead, and three pearls on the tip of its tail. Previously the same artist made fan artgiving Flygon a neat mega evolution.

While mega evolutions have generated a lot of debate among fans and created astrange relationship withPokemon, Gen 9 brought new gimmicks withPokemon Scarlet and Violet. One of these mechanics is the Terastal phenomenon, a temporary transformation that gives Pokemon a gem-like appearance. According toPokemon Scarlet and Violetlore, the Terastal phenomenon was discovered 140 years ago and still is very mysterious. The energy emitted by the crystals that cause this phenomenon is also responsible for the existence of Paradox Pokemon, another popular Gen 9 gimmick.
MarceloGiribaldi’s fan art achieves the improbable by transforming Milotic into an even more elegant Pokemon. Milotic has one of themost beautiful Pokemon designsand a story that is equivalent to the Ugly Duckling fairy tale. The creativity ofPokemonfans is famous in the gaming world, as is the community’s high engagement with the franchise. One of the most entertaining aspects of being a Pokemon fan is fan art creation, which makes the experience of being part of this community even more fun.
