Anime characters and their pokemon equivalents


“biribiri”

I came up with this idea a while back and have been wanting to try it out. It’s a pretty random project I know, but I thought it would be fun. Turns out, I had a blast making it, so I hope you’ll derive at least some amusement from it too…

Note: I based my choices on similarities between the characters and pokemon in terms of looks, attributes, personality, etc,.

Yeah, this was pretty silly, but I sure had fun with it – I actually laughed to myself while editing some of the pictures for this post XD I’ll probably think of more to add later on, but I’m gonna stop here.

Feel free to leave a comment to give me feedback or come up with some of your own.

    I have… So much love for this post. Saten as Magikarp and Gluttony/Snorlax made me laugh out loud. XD

  2. Johnny Tsunami says:

    Haha pure genius! Osaka was spot on as slowpoke lol

  3. Yumeka says:

    @ Mint and @ Johnny

    Thanks, glad you liked it ^.^

    Needed Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball as Jynx. :P

    @ Mikoto

    Ah, I’ve never gotten into Dragonball so I didn’t think of that one. It is quite perfect though. Thanks for sharing =)

    If you haven’t noticed in our battle we had a fe months back, I usually name my pokemon by favorite Anime characters, although sometimes it does not match the species I choose…

    For instance, I name my Shiny Dragonite Kyou (Kyou Fujibayshi, Clannas) since she is a spunky girl and a tsundere, my Espeon as Kotomi (Kotomi Ichinose, Clannad) not only because it matches her hair color, but she is a genius and I assume Psychic pokemon are intelligent.

    There are some that are named randomly, such as my Milotic, Nagisa (Nagisa Furukawa, Clannad) or my Vaporeon, Nayuki (Nayuki Minase, Kanon, which is pretty ironic since Vaporeon isn’t that fast)… This reminds me, I haven’t played Pokemon ever since I came back from vacation. :o

  7. Yumeka says:

    @ Chikorita157

    I remember the Clannad nicknames you gave your pokemon. Most of them were pretty fitting. I never nickname my pokemon because I can never think of good ones on the spot. Maybe I should try planning nicknames beforehand and give my pokes some anime ones XD

  8. digital boy says:

    Not bad, not bad. Some of them are a stretch, but a lot are great. Loved the Mayuri one.

    I like this one a tad more, which does all the Index and Railgun characters as Pokemon. Hilariously, you picked the same ones for Touma and Saten, though XD http://scarletmonochrome.tumblr.com/post/538252390/brilliant-i-lold-and-feel-sorry-for-poor-saten

  9. Yumeka says:

    @ digital boy

    Actually, that post of yours is what first gave me the idea =) I decided to change Mikoto and Uiharu but left Touma, Saten, and Kuroko the same. I haven’t watched Index yet but I’ll definitely keep that picture in mind when I do XD

  10. Scamp says:

    Nah, Shizuo is more a Primape. Loses their temper easily. Machamp is just tough

  11. Yumeka says:

    @ Scamp

    I wanted to pick a very physically strong pokemon for Shizuo since his herculean strength is what stood out to me more than his anger. At first I thought Aggron, but then I decided that Machamp was the better rep for physical strength with his four arms and huge muscles. Primeape actually isn’t that strong in the games (some strength but terrible defenses). I think the Manky/Primeape family would be better for smaller, short-tempered characters. I know there are many of those, just can’t think of any examples at the moment.

  12. Joaquin says:

    What Pokemon would Kyon be? xD

  13. Raph says:

    Totally hilarious, and such a great idea! I laughed so hard. xD Thanks for that.

  14. Yumeka says:

    @ Raph

    Glad you enjoyed it~

  15. KyonzumiNagato13 says:

    I liked the last four the most. Although I am wondering where is the normal one? LOL
    I also liked the Fuko comparison. I laughed out loud (seriously) when I saw it.

  16. Yumeka says:

    @ Joaquin and @ KyonzumiNagato13

    I tried to think of a pokemon for Kyon, but I just couldn’t come up with one. A Normal-type would be best, but none of them really seemed like him in terms of looks, personality, etc,. If anyone can think of one, let me know =P

  17. Valence says:

    Saten as Magikarp made me laugh on how sadly true it was.

  18. Yumeka says:

    @ Valence

    Yes, it is funny and sad at the same time XD

  19. Canne says:

    If only I have more knowledge about Pokemon >_<
    Anyway, I suppose you have a truckload of Pokemon pics in your harddrive, right?
    They are very nice! :)

  20. Yumeka says:

    @ Canne

    Heh, I’ve been following the Pokemon games since 1999, so I know all the pokemon pretty well. I do indeed have a lot of pictures on my computer – the images I used on this post are from Pokemon trading cards. I like the artwork on the cards better than the generic stock art you see on most other Pokemon products.

  21. Rakuen says:

    I think Shizuo more fits Gyarados myself. Gyarados is known not only for it’s immense strength, but it’s absolutely terrible temper. In addition, Shizuo went from just a kid to suddenly having immense strength one day, just like a Magikarp goes from just another fish to an veritable force of nature.

  22. Yumeka says:

    @ Rakuen

    Yeah, Gyarados would have been a possibility. I just imagined a pokemon that has arms like Machamp to throw heavy things the way Shizuo does =)

  23. lostty says:

    Great list! I was pretty surprised to see that many of these choices are spot on! That picture of Ditto is too cute for life btw.

  24. Yumeka says:

    @ lostty

    Thanks ^.^

  25. Tara says:

    This is a rather awesome post, I agreed with pretty much every character I know on the list and it made me laugh >w<

  26. Psycho says:

    I only knew some pokemon, so mostly I don’t get it.

  27. na says:

    lol, envy (from fma) to….. -_-;; wth??

  28. Yumeka says:

    @ na

    Envy’s pokemon is Ditto. I chose it not because it looks like Envy, but because they’re both largely defined by their ability to transform into others.

  29. Yi says:

    The Railgun ones are so spot on. They make me laugh, especially Kuroko = Abra and Saten = Magikarp.

  30. choux says:

    Oww… my face hurts from laughing…

  31. waalkwriter says:

    Could someone give me a list of what anime were used in the order their pictures show up here, I only got about half of these.

  32. PokeFan says:

    haha nice comparsion :D Can you make it with comic heroes too ?:D

  33. Dracus says:

    I think Lucario should’ve been Goku they were voiced by the same actor and in SSBB Lucarios final smash is pretty much a Kamehameha

  34. Dylan Gray says:

    One more, mikassa and greeninja
