Summary
APokemonfan has created a charming animation with realistic-looking Torchic. The cutePokemonvideo is a play on televised nature programs, giving fans a look at Torchic at a Pokemon Day Care Center.
Torchichas been around sincePokemon Ruby and Sapphire, where it premiered as the game’s Fire-type Starter Pokemon. The small bird Pokemon has been well-loved ever since. Given Torchic’s potential as a Pokemon partner, many fans may have brought a Torchic to the local Pokemon Day Care to boost its level or to breed the Pokemon. This video offers a glimpse into what that could look like.
YouTube channel Elious Entertainment has created a Pokemon nature program demonstrating what a bunch of Torchic staying at the Pokemon Day Care on Route 117 could look like. The cute video is narrated, describing the area and talking about the conservation of Pokemon. The video watches a number of Torchic who are contentedly exploring their environment in the outdoor area of the Day Care, while the narrator talks about the Pokemon species and its unique qualities. The lifelike motion of the Torchic really sells it, as it darts its head around to look at its environment like many small birds do.
The concept of the video is good on its own, but the execution is where it really shines. The fluff on Torchic’s neck and its altered design to make it seem more like a cross between a real bird and a Pokemon help to increase realism. Meanwhile, the inclusion of a Ditto in the background of some shots of the Pokemon Day Care cleverly references one of the most popular methods ofbreeding Pokemon.
Bringing Pokemon into the Real World
Pokemon fans frequently think about what their favorite creatures could look like in the real world. Plenty of Pokemon fans have created artworks depicting Pokemon as more like their real-world inspirations, likemore cat-like Sprigatito. Wishing that Pokemon were real is something that many kids may have felt while growing up with the games or anime, perhaps leading to some creative designs.
The official series hasn’t been shy about the concept of real-life Pokemon, either.Pokemon GOuses AR to overlay Pokemon into reality, theDetective Pikachumovie combines footage of actors with CG Pokemon, and there have also been plenty of promos and ads that show real people interacting with Pokemon. It’s likely the blend of the fictional franchise and the real world will continue in official and unofficial projects for a long time yet.
