If you have ever imagined what the evolutionary line of Greninja would look like as the poison type in Pokémon, this artist answers your questions.
Pokemon faces one of the most important years in its history, since the next November 18th The premiere of the ninth generation will take place with Pokémon Scarlet and Purple on Nintendo Switch. In fact, in the weeks prior to the premiere of the new deliveries, new information does not stop emerging, such as the types of gyms and the High Command. While waiting for the arrival of these new video games, artists who are fond of the license do not stop imagining what some Pokémon would be like if they had regional versions or a similar recognition and this time it was up to Greninja and its evolutionary line.
So, thanks to the artist CraigRosnerArtwho has shared his work on Reddit, we can see what the evolutionary line of the sixth generation water-type starter would look like if it were the poison type. The truth is that so far Game Freak has not presented any regional version of initial Pokémon, except for the final forms in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, but seeing this design, perhaps it should be an option to consider. The color palette and motifs used by the artist to turn Froakie, Frogadier and Greninja into the poison type, something that fits perfectly with the frogs, the animal on which it is based.
Pokémon Scarlet and Purple aims to have very few regional versions
While waiting for new official details to emerge about Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, the leaks and rumors they do not stop of happenings in the network. Among them, it is pointed out that the ninth generation that Game Freak prepares would be the one that would include the fewest regional forms since they were presented in the Alola region. This would respond to the new creation of Pokémon with past and future formswhich would add all those alternative versions.
We will have to wait to see if at some point Game Freak considers that some of the initial Pokémon from other generations have regional forms in future generations so that this evolutionary line of poison-type Greninja could be a reality in the franchise universe.
