Sporting record sales numbers for the franchise on the Switch, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been a massive success. With millions of copies sold and a heavily active playerbase, Pokemon Legends: Arceus' unique open-world direction marks a potential shift in the genres of future Pokemon games.

Along with plenty of feature and gameplay changes, the game also added new Pokemon for players to collect. This varies from Alpha Pokemon such as Pokemon Legends: Arceus' menacing Alpha Ursaring to new forms and evolutions of previously existing Pokemon.

Specifically, the new forms and evolutions introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus are loved by many fans, especially with Pokemon that fans felt deserved an evolution such as Basculin. However, though many older Pokemon received a new evolution or form, some were left out and others were not even included in the game. One of these excluded Pokemon was Staryu and its evolution Starmie. Perhaps in response to the exclusion, Reddit user Sudenvarjo decided to take matters into their own hands, designing a worthy evolution for the star-shaped Pokemon

Sudenvarjo's fan art of the Starmie evolution is breathtaking, perhaps as much or more so than Pokemon Legends: Arceus' shiny Spiritomb. The design takes heavy inspiration from its pre-evolution while adding new pieces and additions that add to Starmie's form.

With the addition of new evolutions, forms, and Alpha Pokemon such as Pokemon Legends: Arceus' Rufflet, the opportunity for Pokemon like Sudenvarjo's concept art are more than possible. Instead, it is most likely just a matter of time until popular Pokemon like Starmie receive a new form or evolution. The same goes
