Pokemon Cosplay Gives Lugia Slick Makeover

By Nick Valdez

The Pokemon anime is gearing up to enter a whole new era following their goodbye to Ash Ketchum, and one awesome cosplay is showing off a slick makeover for the Legendary Bird Pokemon Lugia in the hopes of seeing the icon making a comeback in the next Pokemon series! Pokemon Journeys saw Ash taking on his final adventures on his path to becoming a world champion, and it kicked off with a reunion with the Johto Legendary Lugia. It was a sign of all of the huge developments that were on the way for Ash, and helped to bid farewell to him in a suitable way. 

Pokemon Journeys gave Ash several reunions with many of the Legendary Pokemon he met in the past as he readied to say goodbye to the anime for good, and it's left fans wondering whether or not Legendaries like Lugia will be on the table for all of the new adventures coming for the new characters seen in the upcoming Pokemon Horizons: The Series anime. But artist @nadyasonika on Instagram has provided a great example as to why Lugia has become such an iconic legendary with an awesome cosplay giving Lugia a slick makeover! Check it out below:
