The Pokémon brand has undergone nearly 30 years of development, featuring hundreds of Pokémon from various genres. To this day, Pokémon has firmly established its allure within popular culture, to the extent that even those who are not fans of the brand can recognize a few notable names.
So, how would iconic Pokémon or other characters from this series look if they were depicted in the artistic style of Studio Ghibli?
As you may know, this famous Japanese film studio has presented audiences with various enchanting stories that appeal to both children and adults alike. All of their works are characterized by a distinct animation style.
To satisfy the curiosity of fans, AI (artificial intelligence) has generated some unique images of Pokémon in the artistic style of Studio Ghibli.













As you can see, the results of these AI-generated images are truly astonishing. Some Pokémon like Charmander, Blastoise, and Venusaur… have a completely fitting appearance, reminiscent of characters from films such as Spirited Away or Howl’s Moving Castle.
Interestingly, many fans have expressed admiration for these designs, although there are still some who are not fond of them, criticizing the use of AI.
The images showcasing various Pokémon characters created by AI in the Ghibli style quickly went viral on Twitter, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands of shares.
In this age of advancing technology, as the methods become increasingly accessible and require less time and effort, professionals are beginning to question the future of their careers and voice concerns over multiple issues.
