A couple of days ago, RJ Palmer — Concept Artist for Warner Bros. and Legendary's
Detective Pikachu live-action movie — shared on social media some new designs he had made; focusing on the starter Pokémon for the recently announced new title in the Pocket Monster series.
Pokémon Sword and
Pokémon Shield, the brand-new entries in the long-running role-playing series, will be introducing players to three new starter Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble — who are Grass, Fire, and Water type Pokémon, respectively.
These three new starter Pokémon are the ones that Palmer gracefully designed to make them look like they could've easily been part of the
Detective Pikachu movie, and now that he's finally been able to finish his work on Sobble, he's posted an update with all three realistic-looking Pokémon.
Check it out:
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in Galar, an expansive region with many environments—idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokémon live together in this region, and they’ve worked together to develop the industries here.
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be available for the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
