A fan of the new designs inPokemon Scarlet and Violethas recreated the entire evolution chain of the Nacli Pokemon in a pixelated art style. Fans looking forward to aPokemon Black and Whiteremakeor who miss the art style from that era of the series, will be especially pleased to see how these creatures have been newly imagined.
This certainly isn’t the first piece of fan art to come fromPokemon Scarlet and Violetsince the games released, nor is it the first artwork to focus on Nacli and its evolutions. However, the unique approach that this particular artist has taken shows both a level of creativity and a clear appreciation for thePokemonseries as a whole.

The short clip, originally shared to thePokemonsubreddit by user R3dd1_D4v1d, shows the male player fromPokemon Black and Whitefacing off against a group of Nacli and its evolutions, Naclstack and Garganacl. While the clip animates these designs, it has a similar visual to the earlier GBA andNintendo DS era ofPokemongames, where the movements accounted to little more than having the sprites shake around onscreen. It is still interesting to see what these modern Pokemon designs might look like through the perspective of the older games built to run on more primitive consoles.
This trio from the Nacli evolution line have become a fan favorite fromScarlet and Violet, as their unique design has fans claiming that they appear to have beentransported straight out ofMinecraft. So it isn’t much of a surprise to see that some artists have decided to recreate these Pokemon in their own styles or the styles of older games. As a result, the short clip has managed to gather some attention online, especially from fans curious to see how some of these modern titles might have looked with the classic pixelated art direction.
While many players continue to complain about theperformance issues inScarlet and Violet, it seems as though the Pokemon designs themselves from this latest generation go a long way to keeping some fans happy. With the fan art community around the new games continuing to thrive, it appears that the artwork and character designs of the latestPokemontitle are still hitting the mark. That being said, the performance issues make enjoying new Pokemon like Nacli and its evolutions difficult for some players, as the game struggles to run properly at all times on the Switch.
