Summary
APokemonandSpy x Familyfan has created a piece of fanart with series protagonist Anya becoming a Pokemon trainer. ThePokemonfan art showcases a full team for the psychic child, who looks quite pleased with herself in the art.
WhilePokemonhas been popular for a very long time,Spy x Familyexploded onto the scene in recent years. The anime follows the adventures and exploits ofthe Forger family, who all have secret identities and lives outside of their unique family unit. WhilePokemonand the world Anya lives in are quite separate in identity and dangers, the idea of her having her own Pokemon team is nonetheless fun to think about.
Pokemonfan mishianh shared their art with fellow fans, showcasing Anya standing among her Pokemon team. Anya’s team includes Jigglypuff, Ninetales, Gyarados, Snorlax, Empoleon, and Espurr, who she’s cradling in her arms. Interestingly, Espurr is the only Psychic-type Pokemon among them, despite Anya’s telepathic abilities. Some might think she would be a shoo-in to have a full Psychic team, but her group here is a bit more balanced with more variety.
The artist explained some of the thought process behind choosing Pokemon for Anya. Ninetales is part of her team to take the place of Bond, giving her a big soft Pokemon to cuddle with and be protected by. Empoleon takes inspiration from the penguin plushie seen in Anya’s room, while Espurr was chosen not only for its typing, but because its Meowstic evolution is “very stealthy and spy-like.” Lastly, Gyarados was chosen with the comical notion of Anya catching a humble Magikarp, only for it to evolve in a moment of desperation to protect Anya, much like how her motherYor Forgerbecomes downright terrifying when her daughter’s wellbeing comes into the picture.
