Pokemon 30th fan collab and Poketober art projects underway

gamingOct 4, 202640656

Pokemon’s 30th anniversary has kicked off a wave of Kanto-focused collaborations and October art challenges, anchored by a Kanto 30th anniversary collab that credits more than 240 artists and musicians. Contributors are centering Gen 1 characters and moments, Misty and Wartortle show up in tribute pieces, Omastar appears in multiple color variants, and Manaphy gets a beach scene, while October prompts have sparked character-driven scenes such as Murkrow perched on a scarecrow watching Psyduck doze and Pumpkaboo’s sleepy ghostly vibe. Several artists mention last-minute contributions or fill-in work on classic trainer types like the FireRed/LeafGreen tuber kid, and some creators note sneak peeks of an upcoming collab video premiere. The burst of work leans into nostalgia for Kanto-era designs and playful reimagining of specific Pokémon personalities across prompt-driven days.

A digital 90s-style anime illustration of Misty from Pokémon standing in a wide stance against a soft blue textured background. She has short bright orange hair in a side ponytail, blue eyes, and a sour-looking face looking at the viewer.

I’ve been sick since the start of October and haven’t been able to start on any challenges, but there’s so many! I want to try Peachtober, Octillerink, Rattober, and I’ve just heard of #poketober too. Here’s a Lopunny from the silly printable game I made, have a look here ko-fi.com/s/5e962e8c88 #art
