Summary
APokemonfan has designed a regional map for the franchise inspired by the map of Mexico. The regions in thePokemonfranchise have always taken inspiration from real world countries and cities. The Kanto region even has the same name as the region it was inspired by. However, there has never been a regional map inspired by Mexico, which prompted the fan to design this unique piece of art.
Pokemonfans are never too shy to present the world with their creations and concepts. The social media groups and communities are very active when it comes to sharing and discussing fan art and hypothetical concepts. Much of this fan art is made digitally, but some people make real-world designs inspired by their favorite franchise. For instance, one fan createdwood carvings of their favorite Pokemon, which were greatly admired by fellow players and fans.
The regional map was designed and shared on Reddit by TlatoaniMapper. They named the region Aztlan, taking inspiration from the Aztec civilization, which ruled parts of Mexico before the Spanish colonization. The fan also attached an image with the Reddit post, which shows a precisely designed map of Mexico with green and yellow terrain representing greenery and deserts, respectively. The map also shows Pokemon Centers, Gyms, and other key facilities with red squares. There are also white paths connecting all the key locations. This concept is quite different from thePokemonfan art with baby versions, Mega Evolutions, and human forms that are often shared online.
Pokemon Fan Designs Regional Map Called Aztlan
The Reddit post gathered a reasonable amount of interactions from fellow fans, with most of them expressing how impressed they are. The author of the post explained in the comments that they designed the map for a fan game that they might not be able to finish. Commenters encouraged the author to keep working on the game, with one of them saying that the journey matters more than the outcome. This is very true forPokemonfans who create this type of art, because none of these creations actually end up in the games or anime. Still,creatingPokemonfusion artand Mega Evolutions gives them a chance to visualize how their favorite creatures would look in different forms.
Though the concepts of Mega Evolution and Pokemon fusion are part of the canon, human forms are not. However, that does not stop fans from creatinghuman forms of their favorite Pokemon. All this fan art shows how thePokemongames and animated shows keep the fans and players constantly engaged.
