For Pokémon, the long-running monster-wrangling RPG franchise is celebrating its 25 th anniversary this year, resulting in several big events and game announcements like the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes and the open-world Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
GuilhermeRM_art even posted some screenshots of the three Metroid starters in battle, facing off against fellow monsters like Mother Brain and sporting some ironically cute nicknames.īoth Metroid and Pokémon are going through significant milestones in 2021. Each one of these notorious Metroid bosses has three different evolutions, all pulled from various enemies throughout the Metroid series. Yesterday, Twitter user and nerd artist GuilhermeRM_art posted images of his Metroid and Pokémon crossover ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed that reimagines Samus as a Pokémon trainer - with Ridley, Omega Metroid, and Barrier X as her starters.

Interestingly enough, the franchise’s titular Metroids act somewhat like a Pokémon species by slowly evolving from tiny, jellyfish-like parasites to nightmarish mutants that often serve as sub-bosses throughout Samus’ missions. Meanwhile, Metroid features its own ecosystem of different monsters for players to interact with, except series protagonist Samus Aran is usually tasked with killing or evading them instead of capturing them in little capsules. The choice of which critter to start a player's journey into the Kanto region served as a sort of difficulty setting, as the fiery Charmander, plant-like Bulbasaur, and water-based Squirtle varied in effectiveness against Pokémon FireRed’s initial bosses. Just like in the original Pokémon Red and Blue, 2004’s FireRed and LeafGreen for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance offered players a choice between three adorable starter Pokémon, each with various abilities and evolutionary stages that allow them to grow stronger over time. Aspiring Pokémon trainers might want to watch out, as a fan’s ROM hack replaces Pokémon FireRed’s starter Pokémon with the dreaded Ridley, Omega Metroid, and Barrier X from the Metroid series.
