Summary
APokemonfan has shared an adorable doll they made of Mew out of wool. The cute creation is a spot-on reproduction of Mew, celebrating the rare Mythical that got its start way back inPokemon’s Gen 1.
Pokemonfans are always finding ways to celebrate their favorite pocket monsters. Mew is a fairly popular choice, given its iconic nature in the series. Although it was extraordinarily rare to actually face or battle a Mew back in the early days of the game, its importance to the plot and being a major player in thefirstPokemonanime moviehelped to cement its fame among players.
Pokemonfan LauraMarieWackTats shared their Mew doll with other players in the community, and it seems to have charmed them. The fan provided images of the Mew doll completed and in its in-progress stages. The wool doll was made through felting, which is a type of craft that’s done by compressing fibers with a special needle until the desired shape is created. The result is a soft and fuzzyPokemon dollthat any fan of Mew would likely find appealing.
While some fans stick with a two-dimensional canvas for creating art, many fans have created soft and squishy plushes and felt dolls like this, too.Pokemonfans all kind of ways to celebrate the series and their chosen favorites, and felting has become a popular medium to do so. However, it can also be quite time-consuming, as LauraMarieWackTats can attest to.
Mew Remains Iconic Among Fans
Although not highlighted as frequently as Pokemon like Pikachu and each generation’s starters, Mew is iconic in its own way. The Gen 1 Pokemon and its ultra-rare nature started tons of rumors back in the early days of the series, with fans everywhere clamoring to catch it and getting tricked by outlandish claims on how to find it. Generally,Mew could only be added to a player’s gamethrough cheats, glitches, or extremely limited giveaways, but that didn’t stop players from checking under trucks or going through other outlandish steps to try and get it to spawn.
Mew’s importance as the “first” Pokemon has been overshadowed through the years by thePokemonseries' powerful creatures, including by Arceus, who is said to be responsible for having created the universe the games exist in. Mew has also become easier to add to a player’s team over the years, although it’s still somewhat limited in comparison to those that can be readily found on the field or through scripted encounters. With no shortage of both official and fan-made creations of Mew, though, it’s clear that this particular Pokemon has remained special for many fans.
