A Reddit user named ShugaWentWrong posted their take on prehistoric forms of Carvanha and Sharpedo. Carvanha keeps its Typing but takes on an elongated body shape and a smaller jaw. Sharpedo was drawn with a much longer body and was changed to now be a Water/Dragon-Type. The two alternate designs for thePokemonare interesting and help fans imagine what they would look like if their bodies were not as short as they originally were.
Redditors seem to be enjoying the designs that ShugaWentWrong made for the twoWater-Type Pokemon. One commenter stated that they would have preferred if Sharpedo originally had a long tail and agreed with ShugaWentWrong that the original looks as if it was cut in half. Another Reddit user mentioned that ShugaWentWrong’s concept gave off Garchomp vibes, a pocket monster introduced inPokemon Diamond and Pearlwhose design was also based on sharks. A few other gamers gave stats for the alternate Sharpedo, as well as Pokedex entries for a little background on them. The alternate forms for the two Pokemon are interesting takes on pocket monsters that fans are quite familiar with.
ShugaWentWrong is not the only fan creating alternate forms for Sharpedo. A Reddit user known as HertzBurst created aParadox form for the Pokemon, changing it into a Water/Steel-Type named Iron Swirl. The gamer came up with Paradox forms for other Pokemon as well, including Mudkip, Hoppip, and Ariados, giving all of them robotic looks. All of HertzBurst’s designs show what futuristic renditions of these pocket monsters could look like and help showcase the creativity of fans of the series. As the franchise continues, gamers will keep creating new forms for older Pokemon, helping breath new life into pocket monsters that have been around for a number of Generations.
