Pokemon Fan Designs Future Paradox Form for Snorlax

gamerant.com:

A Pokemon fan has designed a Future Paradox form for Snorlax with an interesting theme behind it. The Pokemon concept is quite creative, turning Snorlax into a Pokemon that future humans might rely upon for entertainment at home.

Snorlax has always been a pretty popular Pokemon, due to both its stats and its overall design. While it's possible for some Pokemon to be missed by gamers who speed through a Pokemon title, Snorlax literally blocks the path and the player's progression in the original Gen 1 Pokemon games, which helped to make it leave a big impression on players. This Future Paradox form of Snorlax would be less of a hindrance, but the design still leans into its sleepy and lazy nature.

Pokemon fan and artist Shroodledoodles has shared one more of their Future Paradox Pokemon, this time giving Snorlax a unique form based on a TV. Images of the Snorlax show the television screen making up its stomach, giving it the name Iron Screen. The Shiny version of this form is also included, with the blue and grey coloring becoming paler. According to Shroodledoodles, the hypnotic nature of television made them think of making Snorlax a Normal/Psychic-Type. The overall idea for making Snorlax into a TV, besides it having a body shape that reminded the artist of old CRT televisions, was the idea that TV has a bad rap for making people lazy and inattentive, and Snorlax has always been depicted as being a sleepy, lazy Pokemon.

Players seem to be quite enthusiastic about the Snorlax design, with several joking about its large size. One noted that a wall mount wouldn't be able to withstand Iron Screen, while another suggested that the Future Paradox Snorlax would always be playing a cooking channel because Snorlax loves eating. Another fan suggested making the Shiny variant a black and white TV instead, which Shroodledoodles seemed very interested in.

Snorlax remains a popular Pokemon, and is frequently featured on merchandise, with things like massive Snorlax plush toys
