Detective Pikachu: A Unique Addition to the Pokémon Cinematic Universe
Detective Pikachu is regarded as the first live-action film in the Pokémon franchise, and it has proven to be quite captivating. When comparing Detective Pikachu to other live-action adaptations of famous anime, such as Dragon Ball Evolution or the recent adaptation of Knights of the Zodiac, it stands out for its unique approach.
Notably, Detective Pikachu introduced Pokémon fans to a 3D version of Pokémon that feels authentic, showcasing what these beloved creatures might look like in a live-action setting. However, there are still many Pokémon that have not yet been adapted into live-action, leaving fans yearning for more.
This time, the Instagram account @creativity_artopia has elevated creativity with a hyper-realistic version of Squirtle – the water-type Pokémon known for its iconic representation.
For anime fans, this design opens up the possibility of a new live-action version that accurately reflects the aesthetic qualities of the anime and the video game.
The images closely resemble the actual appearance of Squirtle, showcasing incredible detail in the creature’s design. The shell on Squirtle’s back appears quite dynamic, reminiscent of the animated series, enhanced by AI’s vivid rendering that resembles the armor of a water-type warrior.
With large, bright eyes, Squirtle has always been a key element of its character design, showing a blend between intelligence and playfulness. These impressive images make fans wonder how this cute Pokémon would thrive in a live-action environment.
