Summary
APokemonfan recently made a perfect discovery for the autumn season when they encountered a massive Charmander built entirely out of pumpkins at a local growing competition near their hometown. Though they were not the one who actually built it, the creation proved a hit with other fans online and serves as a creative way to ring in the Halloween season for thePokemoncommunity.
Charmander is one of the most beloved Pokemon of all time, due in large part to its legacy as one of the player’s choices for a starter inthe originalPokemon Red and Blue, where it made its debut. Not only do many fans find the small Fire-type lizard to be adorable on its own, it also goes on to become Charizard in its final form, who is a similarly iconic staple of the franchise.
Reddit user AaronAndMaxwell shared an image of a tribute to Charmander in the form of a large recreation of the Pokemon made from pumpkins that appears to stand several feet tall. While the statue does contain parts that are not made from pumpkins, namely its claws, eyes, tongue, and the tip of its tail, its sheer size and accuracy proved impressive to a wide array of fans who showed up to upvote and comment on the post.
Giant Charmander Made of Pumpkins is the Perfect Autumn Decoration
The comments on the original post were full of praise for the creation, with many fans turning up to compliment how cute and detailed it was, especially given the season, as autumn is fully in swing. Charmander was also not the only pop culture icon present at the event, as the original poster also mentioned a display themed afterthe classic animated seriesThe Flintstones,though they did not provide any images.
While there areany number of spookier creatures from thePokemonfranchisethat would have made for similarly great subjects for the build, Charmander is instantly recognizable by most fans, making it a prime candidate as well. Not to mention the Pokemon’s distinct orange and yellow color palette makes it perfect for recreating using pumpkins, since it would cut back on the amount of painting needed to pull it off.
There is no shortage of other creative endeavors from thePokemonfandom that are perfect for the spooky season, such as one fan whogave Togepi its own Halloween costume. In any case, with autumn finally kicking off officially, it’s the perfect time of year for bringing out the pumpkins and making the season special, andPokemonseems like a great subject with which to do so.
