A Starfield player unwittingly made a ship shaped like Blastoise from the Pokemon franchise. After realizing the similarity, they decided to go all out, giving their Starfield creation a paint job to match that of the classic pocket monster.
Starfield recently left its roughly one-week early access period, allowing even more players to have the chance to play the game. As a result, many have been using Starfield’s customization features to make characters and ships based on popular franchises. While Starfield players have already created builds based on Star Wars, Star Trek, and other sci-fi universes, one gamer went in a different direction, electing to put the Pokemon series in the spotlight.
Among the ship builds circulating online is one made by kandradeece that features a design similar to Blastoise from the Pokemon franchise. According to the player, they had not started their ship build with the intention of making it look like the iconic pocket monster, calling the initial similarity an “accident.” However, they decided to take the coincidence and go with it, further modifying the ship design to resemble the Water-type Pokemon.
Based on the images, the similarities between the ship and Pokemon were apparent. The Reddit user chose a collection of colors that matched those of Blastoise, including making the cockpit region blue and the rear section brown, resembling the Pokemon's massive shell. Beyond the coloration, the ship had a bulky appearance, resembling the stocky look of Blastoise.
This Blastoise-inspired ship design has been a hit with gamers on Reddit, with numerous users upvoting the post and commenting on the build. The popularity of the design is understandable; Blastoise is part of the original Gen 1 and has become well-known to many gamers as the final form of Squirtle. Unsurprisingly, a popular question was about the components used in the build, as some were curious about making the Pokemon-themed ship. Fortunately, kandradeece broke down the materials used in the design, listing them in the comments section of the Reddit post. According to the creator, this was their Class-C ship and was composed of four layers of components.
This creation from kandradeece evidences the impressive creativity offered to players when making ships in the game. While players have made builds based on machines and ships from other series, it is intriguing to see designs inspired by creatures, such as Pokemon. With the game fully launching only recently, the player base for the Starfield is continuing to grow. As more players become accustomed to the customization options available, it will be interesting to see the extent of creative possibilities present in the game.
Starfield is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
