8 surreal mash-ups by Pokémon fans who think Marshtomp is creepy

If you’ve been playing Pokémon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire, you’ll be familiar with cute little critter, Mudkip, one of the three starter Pokémon in the new game. Mudkip may start life as an adorable water-munchkin, but many Japanese fans felt that things take a turn for the worse when he evolves into Marshtomp.

Gone are the big doe-eyes and baby features, replaced by a glassy-eyed stare that Japanese Twitter users are calling “too scary for words”. Obviously, the only thing to do was to start Photoshopping Marshtomp’s head onto things. What else is the internet for?

It seems that for some Japanese fans, Mudkip’s transformation into Marshtomp was a bit like watching their favourite cute chubby kid turn into a horrible teenager:

▼ “Wanted water Pokémon so picked Mudkip, now he’s evolved into Marshtomp. Those eyes! He looks like a psychopath! He used to be so cute, too… Hurry up and evolve again, Marshtomp!”
