Summary
Fans ofOverwatch 2have shown off some seriously creative projects in the past, but a particularly alternative project recently shared among the community entertains the idea of the game’s heroes as Pokemon, and what type each member of the roster would use. The vibrant personalities and often unique appearances ofOverwatch 2’s many heroes create plenty of room for fans to create custom skins for them, and while the multiplayer FPS title has crossed over with various other franchises recently, reimaginingOverwatch 2’s characters as Pokemon makes for a pretty esoteric concept.
With new additions being added to hero roster throughout the almost eight years that have passedsince the release of the originalOverwatch, the series as a whole is now up to a total of 40 heroes, with Venture being the latest member of the game’s crew. Not only does every hero come with their own unique sets of abilities, weapons, cosmetics, and more, they’re also accompanied by in-depth character backstories and distinctive personalities.Overwatch 2’s characters have always been one of the game’s strongest points, and play a vital part in developing the overarching lore of the series as well.
If fans are able to imagine each hero as a Pokemon and assign types to match them, it definitely speaks to how unique each hero really is. This is exactly what a fan known as HelloIamTaylor did in a post that they recently shared online. The idea ofOverwatch 2’s characters as Pokemonhas tickled the imaginations of many others in the game’s community, with the post itself attaching Pokemon types to each hero based on factors such as their appearances, personalities, and what equipment they use. Most of the game’s characters use dual typings, and the list does include the most recent playable hero, Venture.
Many fans allured by this creative post have made their own suggestions as to how some heroes' types could be adjusted. Ultimately, the types that each hero would use is up to each fan’s interpretation, and it’s likely that different members of theOverwatch 2community could come to completely different conclusions. Players haven’t stopped at Pokemon types though, and there are plenty of somewhat similar tier list examplesfeaturingOverwatch 2’s many heroes.
