A talented artist has shared their imagining of aPokemonandSuperMonkeyBallcrossover. Over the last month, there has been an abundance ofPokemonfan art circulating on many online threads.From a biblically accurate Golbatcreated by one fan to a Charizard carved out of wood, October has been a busy month for creativePokemongamers. This latest pairing combines two iconic game franchises.
SuperMonkeyBallhas seen its share of collaborations with other gaming franchises adding particular skins.The latest one was fromPersona 5with Morgana, and charactersfromtheSonicfranchise have also joined in on the funSuperMonkeyBallis known for. The now popular series first debuted back in 2001. It was ported from its origins as an arcade title known asMonkeyBalltoSuperMonkeyBallon the Nintendo GameCube. The idea during gameplay is that players control a character in a gachaphon ball containing their chosen character. The gamer then must clear the various stages by going as fast as possible.

A Reddit user and talented artist named rc1246 has created a piece titled “Super Meditite Ball.” The image depicts the psychic fighting Pokemon inside the iconic gachaphon ball in the world ofSuperMonkeyBall. Mediitite replaces the mascot of the franchise AiAi, and ironically the two are incredibly similar in appearance. Also included in this crossover is Nanab Berries, which have replaced the usual Bananas. Every single detail, it seems, was thought of to bring this piece to life.
The artist shared that they used to rent games likeSuperMonkeyBallas a kid all the time, remarking how it was a much simpler and more leisurely time. Others on Reddit seemed to agree with the fan, adding that it brought back many happy childhood memories. Meditite was chosen according to the fan because this Pokemon’s design always reminded them of AiAi.Some other gamers remarked howPokemonneeds to be included in theSuperMonkeyBallfranchise, while some said it inspired them to dust off their GameCube and play again. This fan art isn’t the only one gaining traction recently, another gamermade a creativeMetroid-inspired Halloween piece.
SuperMonkeyBallmay not have a Pokemon crossover yet, butits mascot AiAi did make it intoFallGuyslast year during Season 5. Perhaps withPokemonScarletandViolet’s imminent arrival on shelves soon, Nintendo will finally collaborate and sendPokemonto this beloved title.
