Summary
One talentedPokemonfan artist designed a paternal version of Kangaskhan. Of course, inPokemonlore, Kangaskhan is a female-only species. Described as the “parent Pokemon,” Kangaskhan is typically seen with its child inside its pouch, similar to a kangaroo.
As a common practice,Pokemonfan artists generally like to reimagine familiar creatures in unfamiliar ways. For example, oneartist designedPokemonstarter evolutions inspired byLegends: Arceus. This is only one type of practice, however. Fan artists also create new evolutions of existing Pokemon, pre-evolutions or baby forms, Paradox forms, Mega evolutions, fusions, and regional variants.
Reddit user JJonnie designed a male Kangaskhan and is sharing their unique creation with the community. Unlike the canonical female Kangaskhan, the male version does not have a pouch. Instead, it carries its child around on its shoulders. JJonnie even adds a bit of backstory to their creation, claiming that the male Kangaskhan is “more playful” than the female version. The father likes to throw his baby up into the air “but sometimes tends to drop it.” The artist even provides an illustration of this in their post.
JJonnie has shared countlessPokemon-inspired, fan-made creations with the community over the years. Just recently, thePokemonfan artist created a Poison-type Eevee evolution. On top of this, JJonnie has created Pokemon in various unique forms, fused multiple creatures together, and even blended different styles through franchise crossovers.
