Pokemon Fan Art Reveals What Skitty and Delcatty Would Look Like as Humans

A Pokemon fan artist has shared their rendition of what Skitty and Delcatty would look like if they were people instead of Pokemon. The artist has already transformed a large number of the Pokemon series' numerous creatures, and this new art is both charming and creative.

Skitty's overall design made them think of astronauts, and they further leaned into the concept by making Skitty's mother an astronaut as well, referencing how Skitty evolves with a Moonstone.

While Pokemon can have many forms ranging from unique temporary evolutions to regional forms, turning them into humans lets artists get even more creative with their designs. It may be particularly interesting to Pokemon players, as even in the rare circumstances where Pokemon have appeared human like the aforementioned Latias encounter, they haven't
