Pokemon Fan Crochets Adorable Mudkip Doll
Though it was a late Valentine's Day gift, a Pokemon fan crocheted an adorable Mudkip doll for their significant other, who then posted a picture of the doll for others to see. The two Pokemon fans received compliments on social media, with a number of them being directed at the doll's creator and the bond that the two trainers have.

A British Reddit user named neon_draco shared a picture of the crocheted Mudkip doll they received from his girlfriend on the r/Pokemon subreddit. The crochet Mudkip had a lighter shade of blue for its body, but its whiskers and head fin remained intact. In addition to the Mud Fish Pokemon, the OP's girlfriend also crocheted a Poke Ball to go alongside it. The Mudkip and Poke Ball crochet dolls were placed next to a DualShock 4 Controller for scale. The Mudkip crochet doll was only a few inches larger than the controller.
The homemade crochet made for neon_draco by his girlfriend, known as chepileaf on Instagram and Etsy, was made as a late Valentine's Day gift. In the comments, some Pokemon trainers asked if chepileaf planned to sell any similar wares online, so the OP
