Last week, the Pokemon Company unveiled the first new Pokemon in its upcoming game Pokemon Sun and Moon.Like every new generation of Pokemon games, Sun and Moon will have dozens of new Pokemon designed by a team led by famed art director Ken Sugimori, the designer of the original Pokemon.However, one artist decided to make his own set of Pokemon, with hilarious results.
Artist Dan Martin, the creator of the webcomic Deathbulge, unveiled 30 hilarious new Pokemon with names like “Roadkill” and “Chesthair”.Many of the Pokemon are evolutionary lines, with each evolution more ridiculous than the previous form.Since Pokemon is fresh on people’s minds, Martin’s designs went viral on Twitter and Facebook.Check out all 30 new Pokemon below:

In an interview with Mashable, Martin says he designed new Pokemon and their evolutions as a child and got the idea to create the new Pokemon for his webcomic.The timing with the Pokemon Sun and Moon reveal was coincidental, but certainly propelled his designs to unexpected levels of popularity. ” In fact there’s already been some fan art of Fullenglish and Quakstak!” Martin told Mashable.Martin plans to use his fake Pokemon in a new RPG video game he’s working on with some friends, although probably not as enemies as he’s grown attached to his crazy new creatures.
