APokemonfan made art that turned Lycanroc and Dodrio into Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. With almost 30 years of existence, thePokemonfranchise is generally aimed at a younger audience. YetPokemon’s success has become such a phenomenon that over the years it has gained a legion of fans of all ages, whether through games, anime, and its presence in other media.
Another example of a work as resistant to time asPokemonisLooney Tunes. The animated shorts series was produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969 during what became known as the Golden Age of American Animation. Along with theMerrie Melodiesseries,Looney Tunesbecame an icon of animation and pop culture with legendary characters such as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. LikePokemon,Looney Tuneshas spanned decades, making fans of different ages as has happened with theequally iconic Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

User GuiNRedS shared on Reddit a fun fan art imagining Lycanroc and Dodrio as Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Together Coyote and Road Runner star inThe Road Runner Show, one of thebestLooney Tunesshowswhere Coyote is on the eternal quest to eat the Road Runner. To do this Coyote uses every idea possible, and the famous Acme products. Lycanroc appears in GuiNRedS' fan art trying to blow up a box with ‘free food.’ Dodrio looks even more like Road Runner, where all three heads have been given a Road Runner-style appearance.
With over 1,000 Pokemon released over nine generations of games, the inspirations used to create Pokemon are many and varied. Some stand out for their good humor, such as Toedscool, and others leave the community indignant for the simplicity of their design, such as Flamigo. Creativity is a characteristic component ofPokemonand its community, so it is not uncommon to see fans producing fan art wherePokemonturn into characters from other series.
GuiNRedS’s fan art has received almost 3,000 upvotes and several compliments on the officialPokemonsubreddit. It is a fan art that competently and humorously combines the designs of Lycaroc and Dodrio with Coyote and Road Runner. The result is fan art where Lycanroc and Dodrio at the same time look like themselves, and like theirLooney Tunescounterparts. This is another example of thePokemoncommunity always being creative and coming up with good ideas to create fan art.
