A Pokémon enthusiast used a 3D printer to build a Cubone skull. Ground-type Pokémon were introduced in Generation 1 with famous monsters like as Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. Cubone, on the other hand, has become a fan favorite due to its tragic past in the Pokémon game and anime.
Pokémon currently has 905 creatures recorded in the official Pokedex. This is projected to rise once Pokémon Scarlet, and Violet are released later this year. Despite the game’s massive number of monster generations and evolutions, many fans still return to Gen 1 and Gen 2 to relive their nostalgic memories, and sometimes produce art based on the different designs of Pokémon.
They decided to 3D-print a Cubone skull for Redditor maxx0498, which they also painted an off-white tint to make it appear more genuine. They posted their invention on the Pokémon subreddit, where people congratulated them. Maxx0498 revealed in the comments that the Cubone skull was created from $15 of pure plastic and took three days to complete. Their 3D printer also had issues after generating the object.
Cubone skulls seem to be a popular option among enthusiasts creating home décor. A short Google Image search reveals that it is often a figurine or even a personalized plant pot that is used to adorn houses. Previously, a Pokémon enthusiast created a Cubone skull terrarium that resembled a shrine to celebrate the Ground-type monster.
Pokémon enthusiasts seem to be well-versed in and appreciative of the creatures’ backstory and behavior, which they include into their artwork. Another fan made Cubone skull terrarium, for example, was titled “Marowak’s last resting place.” Cubone, according to the Pokedex, bears the skull of its dead mother. Fans believe the mother is a Marowak since it is the Cubone’s next evolutionary phase.
The Pokémon community is full of enthusiastic and imaginative enthusiasts that want to possess their own Pokémon. It’s also evident that they seem to create art out of a fondness for the property with which they grew up. In the instance of maxx0498, they revealed in the comments that they made the Cubone skull with their wife, thus it may also be used as a bonding project with loved ones. With the imminent release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, fans will not only have the opportunity to spend hours playing the game, but they may also discover inspiration based on the new characters.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be available on the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
