Pokemon Fan Turns Gen 1-3 Starters Into Dungeons and Dragons Classes

Andrea Trama — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:30:16 GMT

A Pokemon fan and skilled artist turns starters from Generation 1 through 3 into Dungeon and Dragons classes, each with their own weapons and abilities. Though Pokemon as a series has never crossed over with Dungeons and Dragons or any other tabletop RPGs, the potential is huge, as shown by these fan-made starters turned into DnD classes. One could argue that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are the perfect Dungeons and Dragons crossover already, but it has been a long time since the series produced another game.

New Horror Game on Steam is Classic Pokemon But With Cryptids

Pokemon clones are everywhere on Steam, with dozens of indie takes on Game Freak's classic formula seemingly releasing constantly. It takes a lot for a game to stand out among the Pokemon-like genre competition, especially without a unique hook like Palworld's "Pokemon with guns" moniker or Temtem's "Pokemon MMO" description. However, very few creature-collecting games on Steam feature horror elements, and even fewer utilize the original Game Boy Camera hardware to capture FMV scenes.

An image of the box for LEGOPokemon's new and upcoming Rayquaza set, complete with a Zinnia minifigure, appeared online. LEGO is officially releasing a new wave of Pokemon sets this summer, specifically, on August 1, 2026. While the majority of these sets are Smart Play builds, which have yet to win many fans over, the newly leaked Rayquaza set is a regular build with no Smart Bricks attached. LEGO Pokemon sets have been a smashing success so far in terms of sales, and this new release is likely to disappear from store shelves fast.

Pokemon games have come a long way over the last 30 years, and it's exciting to see how Pokemon Winds and Waves kick things off for the next era of the series when Gen 10 is released. Not much is currently known about Gen 10, but the latest leaks point to Pokemon Winds and Waves releasing in late 2027. This means that fans will have some replaying or catching up to do in the meantime, with Gen 9 lasting five years total. It's not necessarily a bad thing to have all this time, as fans can spend it completing the Pokedex in as many games as possible, which will inevitably help when Pokemon Home and Gen 10 become compatible.
