New generation of Pokémon? Computers create monsters that look terrifyingly real

One look at these Pokémon makes Pikachu and Ash freeze in shock.

For Pokémon fans, one of the most important aspects of a new generation of pocket monsters is what monsters there are. While developer Game Freak is currently on Pokémon Legends: Arceus works and no new, full-fledged edition is officially known, a fan has now taken the trouble to create new monsters of their own. To do this, he used computer technology (AI) that Pokémon created automatically.

Deceptively real Pokémon generation, at least partially

As Woolf shows with his AI experiment, the automatic creation of Pokémon works terrifyingly well. So there are some monsters that could appear in the next edition like this or something like that. Game Freak could very often automatically generate monsters for the ninth generation, pick the best and the new Pokémon are ready.

Grotesque Pokémon: A certain joke is inevitable with the AI ​​monsters. While some look really good, there are others who could cause nightmares. There are Pokémon in which the face is replaced by buttocks or there are far too many limbs on a monster.

That’s why the monsters look similar: The AI ​​takes certain data from the fed-in images and uses it to create its own work. This is why other monsters can also be recognized in the Pokémon. This is particularly evident in the monsters in which Woolf only used the images of the first 151 Pokémon:
