A wave of nostalgia just hit us RIGHT in the gut... #AMAZING!
Pokemon brings back serious nostalgia vibes for many people - pretty much EVERYONE recognises Pikachu, Ash Ketchum and the iconic pokeball!
So prepare for some strong #feels when you see this artists INCREDIBLE reimagining of some of your favourite pop stars - as original Pokemon gym leaders!
(For those NOT in the know - gym leaders are the bosses Ash fights on his journey to catch ‘em all!)
Bruno Alexander - known online as BreX - has drawn stars like Britney, Rihanna, Sia, Adele and Beyonce in the trademark Pokemon art style and even suggested what type of Pokemon and badges they might have - all posted up on his Instagram (@brex_art)!
“Leader Britney is ready to battle and will show you the real meaning of TOXIC! Prove yourself strong enough against venomous bites and obtain the #VenomBadge,” he writes in the caption for the AMAZING pic of Britney (complete with the snake around her neck!)
