Frozen Meets Pokémon in These Gorgeous Illustrations

Could you think of a more magical combo? Artist Isaiah Stephens has created an illustrated mashup of Frozen characters as Pokémon gym leaders, and the result is amazing.

The idea came about when he was talking to friends about the idea of Pokémon being real and who they'd want as their own. "Somehow the conversation went to cartoon characters having Pokémon, and we landed on Disney," he wrote in an email. "I grew up on Disney and Pokémon, so naturally, I still think about them a lot."

As for which Pokémon-Frozen character is his favorite — well, you'd be right if you guessed Elsa-Glaceon. "The colors, the background, the badge, even the Pokémon! They feel like they could be from the same world. It just seems to WORK. Though I really do like my Anna as well." Looks like plenty of other people are taking note. Two sisters recently sent him a photo of them cosplaying as Pokémon Elsa and Anna, inspired by his drawing.

If you're a fan (who isn't?), you should know this isn't his only awesome work. Check out favorite '90s cartoons all grown up and princesses dressed up as superheroes. Source: Isaiah Stephens
