Animal Crossing Fan Reveals What a Pokemon Crossover Could Look Like

A Pokemon fan has created videos revealing what a crossover with Animal Crossing could look like. Pokemon has been a long-running success for Nintendo and Animal Crossing is a more recent mega sales hit, and this collaboration idea could perfectly pair the two for a unique game.

Since the first Animal Crossing was released, the animal villagers have been key to making the towns and islands feel alive. Though there were fewer in the first game than the number of animal species featured in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, all the characters followed a personality model that's still in use today. Cranky villagers became less rude over the different evolutions to the formula, but Jock, Snooty, Lazy, and Normal personalities have been largely unchanged. Since the first game's release, some Pokemon fans have wondered what a town full of Pokemon in their place would look like. One gamer has interpreted Animal Crossing with Pokemon villagers to give fans an idea of what a collaboration may look like.

Reddit user SpicyBeefu recently shared some videos revealing what they expect a Pokemon crossover with Animal Crossing would look like. The videos revolve around Pokemon like Teddiursa, Vulpix, and more acting as villagers in a setting that looks remarkably similar to Wild World for the Nintendo DS. While the animations look less smooth than New Horizons players would expect, the graphics from the early entry may invoke feelings of nostalgia in long-time fans. Each Pokemon has its unique lines of dialogue in this collaboration concept, providing more narrative than repeating their own names as they often do in the Pokemon anime and games. These videos expand on a concept that the Reddit user established with a clip focusing on the Electric-type Pokemon Mareep.

These Pokemon are in standard scenes from Animal Crossing, with trees in the backdrop and a recognizable pattern on the ground. Teddiursa seemingly has the Jock personality, while Vulpix is Peppy, and Mareep is Normal. The
