Here's How Terrifying Geodude Could Look In 'Detective Pikachu'

Pokemon was once fun and games for many, but the arrival of Detective Pikachu is making things more serious. After all, the advent of realistic Pokemon has given artists some serious inspiration but don't think everything is going to look cute.

No, there are some Pokemon who look downright scary in real life, and it turns out Geodude is one of them.

Over on social media, fans were given an idea of how terrifying the rocky monster might look in real life. Thanks to artist Joshua Dunlap, Geodude got a buff makeover in 4K, and fans admit the creature is not one they'd want to mess with.

As you can see above, the character doesn't so much float in this drawing as it does a perpetual handstand. The rock-type Pokemon is seen looking dead ahead as it walks over some sandy dirt. With its hooded eyes narrowed, Geodude looks plenty tense thanks to an ever-present frown, and its arms only make his aesthetic all the more terrifying.

Just, take a look at those limbs. Geodude might not have swole biceps, but the rest of his arm is plenty thick. When you factor in those muscles are made of actual rock, you know the Pokemon is going to put you in a world of hurt.

Luckily for fans, Geodude is not the most aggressive of Pokemon. The franchise did bring the rock-type to life back in generation one with Brock as the Pewter City leader had one on his roster. Now, it has become commonplace to see Geodude running around with trainers, but this fan-art has fans wondering whether they'd want to square up against the Pokemon if they stumbled across one in real life.

So, would you freak out if you saw this Pokemon in real life? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!
