screenrant.com:

A talented Pokémon and Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan has expertly introduced the new Gen 9 Starter Pokémon to their island, perfectly recreating the pocket monsters with a mod. Along with elaborate five-star island designs and impressive builds, some fans of ACNH take it a step further and create realistic mods that can be added and used in the game.

With the recent announcement of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, fans have already shown their love and support for the new Starters — Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxley — in a variety of ways including fan art and hand-made creations. With its announcement right on the heels of the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus in January, which has been praised by both fans and critics alike for its new mechanics and gameplay, players are anxiously awaiting future updates about the next release from Game Freak. With both Pokémon and Animal Crossing being informally classed as «cozy games» among fans, many Animal Crossing players are excited for the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
