Pokemonfan KosukeSukeP shared a series of impressive custom weapon and headgear designs inspired by the Regi Pokemon line, including Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regigigas, Regieleki, and Regidrago. The first three Regi forms were introduced back in the Game Boy AdvancePokemon Ruby and Sapphiregames, while Regigigas made his debut inPokemon Diamond and Pearl, with Regieleki and Regidrago joining the lineup inPokemon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra. With each Regi having a distinct physical appearance, KosukeSukeP decided to make dedicated armor sets to represent the diverse lineup of Pokemon. Each weapon and headgear piece features the recognizable color scheme and elemental powers of the Regis, blending the beloved creatures ofPokemonwith the fantastical armor found ingames likeMonster Hunter.
Regi Pokemon as Weapons and Headgear
Each of the Regis was transformed into one weapon and one headpiece, with a stone war hammer for Regirock, a crystallized gladius for Regice, a double-edged ax for Registeel, a bow and arrow for Regieleki, a gun lance for Regidrago, and a massive great sword for Regigigas. The matching helms all share similar esthetics to their weapons, along with glowing eyes, horns, chainmail, and spikes. Some commenters teased that the adorable Regieleki seemed out of place next to the imposing headgear and brutal weapons of the other Regis, but all agreed that the custom battle kits perfectly capture the essence of some of themost popularPokemoncreatures.
As thePokemonbrand continues to grow, audiences find new ways to expand the pocket monsters' presence in their daily life with fun crafts, original artwork, and more.
