A fan ofPokemonhas drawn an adorable piece of fan art imagining what the Paldean variants of Clodsire and Wooper would look like in the style ofPaper Mario. While some fans come up withhypothetical regional variants of Pokemonthat have not returned in Gen 9, others take variants already in the newest games and imagine how they would look in a different game to interesting effect.
Although it has never been the most popular series published by Nintendo,Paper Mariohas still garnered a devoted communityin part because of the charm earlier titles seeped as well as its unique art style for many characters fromSuper Mario Bros.,which has them and their world look like it was crafted by paper. There has not been a new game in the series sincePaper Mario: The Origami Kingin 2020, but that does not mean fans of it and other properties will take inspiration from it and use it towards other projects.

One such fan goes by TimDrawsStuff on Reddit, and they created an adorable piece ofPokemonfan art that takes the Paldean variants of Clodsire and Wooper and converts them to resemble characters from thePaper Marioseries. While it is a simple style, the two Pokemon are not only recognizable from their source material, but are also animated with a fun little jiggle that makes them even more adorable to look at.
This is not the first time TimDrawsStuff has posted a piece like this, having created asimilar animation forPokemon’s Nacil evolutionary line. Both works are part of a larger project they are undertaking called Paper Paldea, and both have been met with positive reception. One commenter expressed a general love for most things in thePaper Marioart style, while another stated they wanted to hug the pair.
Creative fans like TimDrawsStuff bring out some of the best in thePokemoncommunity, where even underappreciated pieces of art will find love with those who do stumble across them. It also highlights how diverse the fans' imaginations can be, seeing as how works can range from the adorable like the pieces from TimDrawsStuff’s Paper Paldea to the mortifying such as one artist’s3D render of the Pokemon Magnemite. Regardless of what comes out of the community, there are still plenty of creative avenues for fans to take in order to express their love of the franchise.
