Summary
An artistically talented and particularly dedicatedPokemonfan has drawn their latest batch of Pokemon in the style of the Disney animated classic,Lilo and Stitch. The latest set of Pokemon artwork from the fan appears to primarily focus on earlier generations of creatures, with a few fan-favorites from other generations thrown in.
ThePokemonfan art community is arguably one of the strongest of any fandom in pop culture, with multiple headline-making creations being churned out by fans on a near-daily basis. The proliferation ofPokemonfan art in recent years has yielded some niche art styles, including one specific artist who’s made a name for themselvesdrawing Pokemon in the style of Lilo and Stitch.

The productive artist behind theLilo andStich-ified Pokemon is Troytheartboy, a Redditor who has posted their latest creation to one of the site’s majorPokemonforums. The new group features seven characters total, and consists of Espeon, Blastoise, Glaceon, Rattata, Scizor, Larvitar, and Reuniclus. All of the Pokemon are well executed in theLilo and Stitchstyle, with each looking like they could be one of the numbered experiments that came before Stich’s 626. Troytheartboy seems to have the art style down to a science, perfectly recreating the soft edges and fold lines that define the adorable creations.
The newly published pieces of art are clearly a hit with otherPokemonfans, as the post has already racked up hundreds of upvotes within hours of posting. Nearly every single one of the drawings is pointed out and lauded in the comments section, with Espeon and Scizor emerging as early favorites. The new batch comes roughly a month after the last pack from the artist, whichreimagined more Pokemon in theLilo and Stichart stylelike Slakoth, Sandshrew, Totodile, Bayleef, Slugma and more.
While Troytheartboy has certainly made a name for themselves in thePokemonfan art community, they aren’t the only artist to establish and master a niche art style. Another prolificPokemonfan artist Redditor by the handle of shunixe has gained plenty of notoriety for their unique mecha versions of various Pokemon, which fans have said looks like a cross betweenHorizon Zero DawnandMonster Hunter. Their latest work isa futuristic mecha version of Raging Bolt, the controversial new Paradox form for Raikou.
Lilo and Stitchremains a favorite among many Disney fans, although the franchise has remained largely dormant for the past few years. However, that is set to change soon, as a live-action remake is coming. Comedic actorZach Galifianakis has a role in theLilo and Stitchremake, though the role is a mystery. It should be interesting to see what the translation to live-action will be, and if it will inspire a new wave ofPokemonartwork from Troytheartboy.
