A fan of the Pokemon series shares what they think the ancient versions of Cinderace, Rillaboom, and Inteleon would look like. Ever since the release of the ninth generation of Game Freak's legendary franchise, players have been imagining what both futuristic and prehistoric forms of their favorite pocket monsters would be like.

The versions of the pocket monsters that the artist came up with do a great job of channeling the original designs while adding new flairs to the pocket monsters.
