Summary
A new piece ofPokemonfan art turns the infamous Mewtwo into a wasteland survivor fromFallout. Mewtwo is one of the most memorable creatures inthe original lineup of 150 Pokemonthanks to its rare Legendary status, incredible psychic abilities, and surprisingly dark backstory. InPokemon Red and Blue, Mewtwo was created by scientists as a clone of Mew - only to rebel against said creators and instead roam the world in search of worthy opponents to battle. Mewtwo has since appeared in laterPokemonspin-offs likePokemon GOandDetective Pikachu, and will return alongside Mew in an upcomingPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC event.
Mewtwo has also been the subject of variousPokemonfan art, which capture theGenetic Pokemon’s distinct feline-like design in paintings, colored-pencil drawings, and even LED lights. Some more bizarre pieces have seen Mewtwo fused with the very unlikely Magikarp, while other players have brought Mewtwo into other games likeStreet Fighter 6through mods. Of course, Mewtwo is no stranger to crossovers, having made multiple appearances in theSuper Smash Bros.series.

Now Mewtwo is stepping into another, far less colorful gaming world thanks to a new piece of fan art from Reddit user Kaminari_Taimei. This drawing was posted to r/Pokemonart earlier this week, and shows Mewtwo wearing the dusty brown Bomber jacket fromFallout 4. Mewtwo also hasthe signatureFalloutPip-Boy computermounted on its wrist (which would help it navigate the dangerous, radioactive wasteland of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG series), as well as a monster skull on its left shoulder.
The similarities betweenPokemonandFalloutbegin and end with both being RPGs that allow players to explore a vast open-world landscape, as the former takes place in a peaceful setting filled with colorful monsters to collect and the latter in a world ravaged by nuclear warfare and teeming with mutants, monsters, and other survivors trying to kill the player at every turn.
In a way,the legendary Pokemon Mewtwocan be seen as a connective tissue betweenPokemonandFallout, as the Psychic feline represents human science’s influence on the natural world - just like the nuclear weapons that created the wasteland that players roam in theFalloutgames. At the very least, Mewtwo would likely relish the chance to battle the various monsters and enemies lurking in said wasteland, and Kaminari_Taimei’s impressive crossover artwork ensures it would look stylish while doing so.
