With the release of the Crown Tundra DLC,Pokemonintroduced fans to Regieleki and Regidrago, two Legendaries that were created from electricity and crystallized dragon energy. Regi are powerful Pokemon with a curious origin, which sparks the creativity ofPokemonfans to make new Regi types. That’s what one fan did, and the result got the hearts of thePokemoncommunity.
Pokemon Fan Shows What a Water-Type Regi Would Look Like
Twitter user TheYisusOne has created a new Water-type Regi called Regitube. The player shared a short video showing a blue Pokemon made up of rings and eyes made from dots. In a second video, they show the beginning of abattle inPokemon Diamond and Pearl. The player spots a level 16 Regitube and then throws their Eelektross 50 to battle it. Regitube’s creation is inspired by a viral video in which a person covers himself with rubber rings while Regi’s battle theme inPokemon Ruby and Sapphireplays.
Regitube was born from a meme, and fans quickly embraced the idea of a Water-type Regi made up of rubber rings. With many players praising the artist’s creativity, several comments expressed their desire to see Regitube added to thePokemongames. Twitter user Magnedeth went further and developed “lore-accurate stats” for Regitube, while Daydreamerdan_ gave the Pokemon a category, type, and a creative Pokedex entry. While this isn’t the firstRegi created by thePokemoncommunity, the artist thanked the warm reception and showed surprise at seeing “how far a sillyPokemonjoke has gone.”
TheYisusOne’s fan art is impressive and amusing, as this wouldn’t be the firstPokemon to have a silly design. With its huge success,Pokemonfans also would have no trouble imagining Regitube having access to moves like Hydro Cannon, Dive, and Liquidation. But while Regitube isn’t a reality inPokemongames, fans can find the Legendary Titans in other titles from before Gen 9.
