Pokemon Fan Recreates Venusaur as Totoro | Game Rant
Reddit user Gloomyvisuals recently shared their creation of Totoro as a Venusaur, mashing up the Pokemon series with the Japanese anime My Neighbor Totoro.
The Reddit user shared their cute creation and added that a sticker version of their drawing is purchasable from their Etsy store. The Etsy store, which goes by the name of StickorSwim, is currently selling the adorable stickers for $3.99 plus tax, with free shipping.
StickorSwim has plenty of other fun and original stickers for sale that are mash-ups of other video games and popular culture characters, such as a Charizard x Spyro sticker, a Blastoise x Bowser sticker, and much more. The stickers can all be purchased individually or in packs of 3 or 5.
Venusaur was first featured in the very first Pokemon games, Pokemon Red and Blue, and is #3 in the national Pokedex. It is the apart of the first Pokemon line, and the first finally evolved Pokemon. Venusaur is a dual poison/grass type, and has become one of the most, if not the most, famous grass type in the entire series. Venusaur was recently introduced into Pokemon Sword and Shield via the Isle of Armour expansion, and even received its own Gigantimax form.
Totoro is perhaps even more iconic than Venusaur, with the character first appearing in the 1989 classic anime film, My Neighbor Totoro, which was the very film from the now very famous Studio Ghibli. Totoro is now one of the most iconic characters from Japanese culture, and will soon have a home in the upcoming Japanese theme park, Ghibli Park which recently started construction. Totoro has gone on to become somewhat prominent in mainstream pop culture outside of Japan, with the character appearing in many American films such as Pixar's 2010 animated feature Toy Story 3.
Pokemon too has gone on to become incredibly popular in mainstream pop culture, with Pikachu being one of the most iconic video game characters of all time, and the Pokemon franchise becoming the highest-grossing media franchise of all time, period, even beating out Walt Disney Studios and Marvel. Pokemon Sword and Shield, the most recent mainline entries in the game series, recently surpassed 18 million units sold and are likely to continue their already excellent sales moving forward with more DLC coming this Fall with the release of The Crown Tundra. The franchise has broken countless sales records already, and it's unlikely to stop any time in the near future.
