You’ve never seen Pokemon like these gorgeous fan-drawn fusions

Each new installment in the mammoth Pokémon franchise aims to shake up the age-old formula, often simply by adding a few new areas and Pokémon to the mix but occasionally with new mechanics and evolution classes. Artist Josephine (aka Tumblr user Syntheticimagination and Deviantartist cat-meff) may have drawn up the next innovation: Pokémon fusion.

Here you can see a number of Pokémon mix-ups, many of which were requested by Synethetic’s followers. From Legendary combinations like Kyogre-meets-Articuno to the more humble Goldeen hybrid, the pieces are enough to get any fan of the franchise drooling.

So how about it, Nintendo? Pokéfusion confirmed? Coming 2016? Hmm?
