A talented Pokemon fan has created human versions of Typhlosion and 11 other critters with lore to contextualize their origins. The Pokemon community has a well-known creativity in producing fan art that shows their love for the franchise. There is no shortage of inventive ideas used by fans, with some standing out the most, such as the human versions created for Pokemon of all generations.

Staraptor is Ryker, a university student who believes that Elijah's research will one day make him famous. Luxray is college freshman Desmond, who joins Elijah's field trips in exchange for extra credits. Graveler, one of the Gen 1 Pokemon available in Gen 9, has also
