DeviantARTist ~Leashe has blown my mind with her realistic interpretations of classic Pokemon. These aren’t your usual cute and cuddly Jigglypuffs and Ninetales. You’ll only find vicious Gyarados’ and mutated Mewtwos in this gallery. These Pokemon are definitely not for kids.

It’s a shame that Pokemon games are only released for Nintendo consoles because there is no real possibility that a more realistic and mature version of the game can ever exist. Don’t get me wrong, the Pokemon games are great the way they are, but an alternate take on the series could bring in a different audience and breathe some new life into the 15 year old series.
