This Artist Turned A ‘Pokemon’ Coloring Book Into Nightmare Fuel

Pokemon may have its scarier moments, but there are few fans who would call the franchise nightmare-inducing. The series has a small chance of giving anyone the heebie-jeebies unless Gengar actually uses Nightmare on them, but one artist has managed to make Pikachu truly terrifying.

Oh, and buff – really, really buff.

Thanks to Twitter, Pokemon fans can see what happens when ONE imaginative fan gets a coloring book filled with Pocket Monsters. The user Bankokukun took to social media to share artwork they did in a Pokemon coloring book meant for kids, but came to follow wasn’t meant for any young children to ever see.

If you are feeling brave, you can check out the nightmare-fueled art below. Just, don’t say we did not warn you about Pikachu and his overpowering biceps. Even Machamp would be solidly terrified of fighting the usually cute creature in a one-on-one match…

Pikachu In The Buff

There are few words that can adequately capture how disconcerting this image of Pikachu is. How did this fan even envision the Pokemon with these kinds of muscles?!

The Most Terrifying Duo Ever

Well, that’s good. At least fans know Pikachu isn’t the only Pokemon icon who can look like the stuff of living nightmares.

Why – Just, Why?

The artwork itself is impressive, but fans cannot get over how the hyperrealistic style works against all of Pokemon‘s greatest charms.

Those Abs Though

Even fans of One-Punch Man would agree that this Pikachu looks like a worthy opponent for Saitama. Honestly, the mouse would probably win.

Seriously, Who’s That Pokemon?

What happened to you, Pikachu? Did you get left behind by Ash? Did Team Rocket blast you off somewhere you never could come back from? What went down to make you turn into this shell of yourself?!
