This particular piece was made by Redditor DTSaranya, and depicts popular actor and wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson if he were the Pokemon Geodude. There’s something slightly unsettling about the drawing, but the resemblance itself is truly uncanny, and the comedic nature of it will definitely get a chuckle from most. Geodude is arock-type Pokemon, so it’s definitely the perfect crossover for the artist to use in this case.
Pokemon fans in the thread loved the piece, and were quick to make many Rock-based jokes at the artwork’s expense. One user was quick to point out the undeniable irony of a wrestler being weak tofighting-typePokemon, one of Geodude’s main vulnerabilities. The jokes never stopped the gamers from enjoying the artwork, with some even questioning what the Geodude Rock would evolve into. It’s a question that only the artist can answer, if they so choose.

Withlong-term protagonist Ash leaving thePokemonanime for good, the series finally has a chance to reinvent the wheel and try something different. Whether the series takes the opportunity, or plays it safe, remains to be seen, but it’s an exciting prospect. On the game’s side,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare finally receiving their first expansion pack, which promises to add a bunch of new content to the games, including some newPokemon. With sales for the franchise higher than ever, gamers are safe in the knowledge thatPokemonis going nowhere any time soon.
