The Pokemon Company and Nintendo released the initialPokemongames way back in 1996 and have reached new fans who have joined the series with each game that has been released since then.Pokemonhas inspired countless fans over the years to create unique fan art, formulate perfect strategies for the difficult battles, and comprise their favorite teams of the many Pokemon encountered along the way.
Recently, Reddit user Mishianh shared their fan art that combines two popular anime, seamlessly blending characters from Hayao Miyazaki’sSpirited Awaywith thePokemonuniverse. Several Pokemon are represented in the fan art that highlights someSpirited Awaycharacters, and the overall aesthetic shares the most similarities with Hayao Miyazaki’s 2001 film. There are seven main Pokemon represented in the fan art, and more are cleverly hidden around the room. In addition, even the most notableSpirited Awaycharacter even features somePokemonKey Stone jewelry.

A green shirt-wearingPokemontrainer sharing some resemblance with Chihiro fromSpirited Awaysits across an obvious depiction of Zeniba from the animated movie at a long table in Mishianh’s fan art. In the background are two Bellossom hanging on the wall and a cheerful Politoed sitting on a bookshelf, while tea is seeminglypoured from one Polteageistinto two Sinistea’s. Sitting at the table next to thePokemontrainer is a combination of Cofagrigus and Yamask, which portray theSpirited Awaycharacter No-face, while on the table eating some biscuits are Murkrow and Skowvet.
Each new mainPokemontitle, likeScarlet and Violet, comes with a new generation of Pokemon to capture, and there are many represented in Mishianh’s fan art. MultiplePokemonberries are illustrated in Mishianh’sSpirited Awayartwork, such as the Oran and Pecha berries being held by the Skowvet and even more placed atop the table’s cake centerpiece. Skowvet is meant to represent theSpirited Awaycharacter Boh when he’s turned into a mouse, while the Murkrow beside him resembles Yubaba’s Bird in the movie. The hidden Pokemon in Mishianh’sSpirited Awayfan art are Hisuian Voltorb and Starmie, which may takePokemonfans some time to discover.
PokemonandSpirited Awayhave reached multiple generations since they were released, making this fan art from Mishianh a fitting combination of two anime. Mishianh is known for crossing over other anime in fan art such as one that combinesDragon Ball SuperwithOne Pieceand another focusing onCardcaptor Sakura,Digimon,Pokemon, and more. AlthoughPokemonhas received many iterations since 1996,Spirited Awayhas yet to receive a sequel despite being one of the most successful animated films of all time.
