Reddit user riacchie shared an illustration of Bulbasaur with a cute twist. Instead of beinga Grass-type Pokemon like the original Bulbasaur, riacchie’s design is a see-through Bulbasaur filled with boba tea, which is why the artist decided to name it Boba-saur. The post features two images with different color schemes, the first one has the usual colors of Bulbasaur, while the second has light brown skin with darker brown spots to better fit its boba tea-filled bulb.
The artwork was posted to the Pokemon subreddit where it has earned over two thousand upvotes as of this writing. Most of the comments in this Bulbasaur fan art were positive, although some expressed concern for the fact that Boba-saur is drinking boba tea. Other users commented that the name Boba-saur actually made them think ofBoba Fett fromStar Wars, which made them feel confused as to why this Pokemon was not wearing a Mandalorian outfit.
One of the things that makes riacchie’s illustration work so well is how perfectly it works with the original Poison/Grass-type Pokemon. Bulbasaur are supposed to store energy in their bulbs, allowing them to withstand long periods of time without eating. It seems that by having boba tea stored in its bulb, Boba-saurs could probably have access to additional energy when needed. Hopefully, there will bemore illustrations of Pokemons combinedwith food to complete a collection. In the meantime,Pokemonfans can enjoy the new Switch game.
