A creative gamer takes inspiration from thePokemonandMetroiduniverses to make a picture that combines Aron and Samus Aran. While hundreds of pocket monsters exist in thePokemonseries, Aron was the perfect subject for thisMetroidcrossover image.
Joining thePokemonseries in Gen 3, Aron is a dual-type Pokemon with Steel and Rock typings. As these typings suggest, this creature has a unique look that stands out due to the armor that covers its body. While its armor is predominately gray, one gamer thought this hard outer casing was reminiscent of another character in video games if the color scheme was changed.

While thePokemonandMetroidfranchises might not seem to have much in common, that did not stop one creative fan, known as gumlip on Reddit, from making something special. According to the Reddit user, they had created “Samus Aron,” which was a clever mixing of the names of theheroine Samus Aranand the Steel/Rock-type Pokemon Aron. While the title was doubtlessly clever, the new appearance of the pocket monster was just as notable.
In the image, the Pokemon Aron was placed in front of a background from theMetroidseries. However, gumlip did not stop there. The Reddit user elected to change the color scheme of the pocket monster to match thearmor of Samus Aranmore appropriately. Gone were the white and gray colors, and in their place were red, orange, and yellow. In addition, the area around its eye was tinted greenish, giving it the appearance of a visor on a helmet.
This new fan art has caught the attention ofMetroidandPokemonfans on Reddit. The post already has more than 11.2K upvotes, and many users have been leaving comments about the artwork. In the comment section, some fans thought that the colors of Samus Aran’s armor worked surprisingly well on Aron. Furthermore, some users suggested that gumlip make an alternate version of the picture, basing the design of Aron on the coloration of theGravity Suit from games likeMetroid Dread. According to one user, this could work as the pocket monster’s shiny version.
It is often interesting to see what types of unusual creationsPokemonfans make based on the variety of creatures featured in the series. Besides thisMetroid-themed fan art, another gamer previously created a picture thatreplaced the Alaskan Bull Worm fromSpongeBob SquarePantswith a giant Wiglett. Creations like these suggest that there are plenty of meme-worthyPokemonin the series, which begs the question of what creative players will come up with next.
