Pokémon Pets: What Life Would Look Like If You Adopted a Pocket Monster

So, you've finally decided you're ready for a pet. You've done all the research and bought the necessary supplies… it's time to head to the adoption center! You walk down the aisles of cages and kennels, but they do not house cats or dogs. Instead, you find a Pikachu, wagging its little yellow tail and staring at you with those big, electric eyes. Instantly, you know this is the one. You take it home, and suddenly your phone is never without charge again when you realize that Pikachu doubles as a portable charger.

Or maybe you adopt a Squirtle who loves  lounging in sunbeams and splashing water all over your bathroom floor. Perhaps you pick out a mischievous little Eevee, ready to curl up in your lap or transform into literally whatever evolution fits your mood that day.

These imaginative scenarios are exactly what these illustrators have been exploring, redrawing everyday pet photos with Pokémon as the stars. From dogs and cats to raccoons and penguins, they replace the ordinary with the extraordinary in an adorable way.
