One fan of Nintendo and Game Freak’s hit Nintendo Switch titles Pokemon Scarlet and Violet found a unique way to pay tribute to the games’ Legendary Quartet, creating animated sprites for each of the creatures in the style of Gen 5 Pokemon. Fans feeling restless after having explored everything the pair of titles has to offer may soon learn more about new content coming to Paldea if recent leaks about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC are to be believed.

While gamers unfamiliar with the franchise may assume that the creatures gracing the covers of the various Pokemon games are the star attractions, for dedicated franchise fans one of the biggest challenges throughout the series is discovering the non-mascot legendary Pokemon hidden in each title. Dubbed the Ruinous Quartet, details of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Legendary Quartet leaked ahead of the game’s release late last year, ruining the surprise for some players eager to discover the rare Pokemon for themselves. With their unusual appearances, the Ruinous Quartet stand out even among some of the stranger Pokemon familiar to long-time fans of the franchise.
