7 Most Comforting Pokemon Games
The Pokemon franchise is one of the largest video game franchises, including countless mainline and spin-offs. Here are the most comforting titles.
8 Galarian Rapidash

When Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield were released in 2019, various Pokemon got new variants from the Galar region in the games. A few of the classic first-generation Pokemon received a Galar makeover. Among the most noteworthy was the Fire-type Pokemon Ponyta and its evolved form Rapidash.
Galarian Ponyta is a Psychic-type Pokemon, while Galarian Rapidash is a Psychic/Fairy-type. Because of this change, the pony and horse Pokemon no longer have the fiery mane and tail, nor the orange and yellow color palette. Instead, they have white coats and thick, fluffy pastel blue, purple, and pink manes and tails. Simmer sianana88 recreates the beauty and the majestic nature of Galarian Rapidash with this horse Sim, especially with an excellent take on the multicolored pastel mane and tail.
7 Eevee

Next is a cute and cuddly recreation of the puppy-like Pokemon Eevee, made by Simmer Viiverrids. This Eevee is the perfect example of how simplicity is key and can often make for the best creations in the Sims gallery.
The Eevee Sim has been created from a small dog breed, and the design includes the Pokemon’s classic light brown fur, pointed ears, large black eyes, and cream-colored fur around the neck. Eevee might not be the most complex Pokemon creation in The Sims 4 gallery, but they don’t have to be, as the accuracy and the adorable nature make it one of the cutest and best choices.
6 Kanto Starters (Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle)

Along with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander are three of the most iconic Pokemon of all time. They are the three Pokemon that players of the original Red and Blue (or Green in some countries) games would choose between at the beginning of the game.
Simmer DragonsGhost460 has recreated the three original starters in dog form, and the results are incredibly cute. All three have their classic orange, blue and green color schemes. They have some well done extra details too, such the green area on Bulbasaur's back to represent the Pokemon’s bulb, Squirtle’s drawn-on shell, and the yellow tip of Charmander’s tail to represent the flame.
5 The Eeveelutions

The previously mentioned Eevee is a unique Pokemon, as it has various evolution options for several different types. This player-made creation in the Sims 4 gallery features all eight Eeveelutions. Created by lilythas, each of the Eeveelutions are not only adorable, but they are also as accurate as possible within the limitations of the Sims 4 Create-a-Pet system.
Redesigned from small dog breeds, all the Eeveelutions have their iconic color palettes. They also feature extra detailing to make them all the more accurate, such as Sylveon’s pink bow, the gem in the middle of Espeon’s forehead, and Flareon’s fluffy neck fur.
4 Mew
Created by Stealthfire19
- Packs Required: Cats & Dogs

Despite its unassuming appearance, Mew is a particularly powerful Pokemon. This recreation of the light pink, kitten-like Pokemon is all the more unassuming in Sim form. Recreated from a small cat breed by Simmer Stealthfire19, this Mew is almost perfect.
Pokemon Fan Makes Impressive Mew Out of Wool
A talented Pokemon fan shares their creation of an adorable Mew made out of wool, and the community is both charmed and impressed.
The pink shade of its coat, the slightly pointed nose, and flatter face are key elements of Mew’s simple design that have been remade excellently here. The only thing that’s missing is a super long tail, but the Create-a-Pet system only offers certain tail styles, so it’s not surprising that it couldn't be done. For players looking to add a cute Pokemon cat to their Sims game, this Mew is a fantastic choice.
3 Raichu, Pikachu, and Pichu

Pikachu is arguably the most iconic Pokemon in the history of the franchise, but the other Pokemon in Pikachu's evolutionary line are also iconic in their own way. Pikachu and its evolved form Raichu, as well as the first Pokemon in the evolutionary line, Pichu, have been recreated here in cat form by Simmer flambrainz.
The details are what make these Pokemon cats particularly impressive, such as Raichu’s yellow cheeks and tail and black tipped ears, Pikachu’s brown back stripes and red cheeks and Pichu’s pink cheeks, black tail and black neck cuff. These Pokemon Sims are a must for fans of Pikachu and all its evolutionary stages.
2 Alola Starters (Rowlet, Popplio, & Litten)
Created by MissKowaidesu
- Packs Required: Cats & Dogs
- Uploaded March 8, 2018
The three starter Pokemon from Pokémon Sun and Moon are super cute, and players looking to get their hands on accurate versions of them in The Sims 4 need look no further than this recreation by Simmer MissKowaidesu. Fire-type Pokemon Litten has been made from a cat, as has the Grass-type owl Pokemon, Rowlett. The sea lion Water-type Popplio is the only one of the trio to be made from a dog rather than a cat, but this makes sense, seeing as Popplio has a puppy dog appearance.
The markings and colorings of each of the starters are impressive and a testament to MissKowaidesu’s abilities. Particularly impressive are Litten’s distinctive facial markings and Popplio’s pink nose and distinctive feet, which have been made to look like flippers. Rowlett does have a slightly creepy look, thanks to the face being made to look like an owl's face with a beak, but this can easily be overlooked by the impressive nature of the Alolan starters as a whole.
1 Pikachu

Last but not least is Pikachu, the famous mascot of Pokemon whose adorable face is known worldwide. Because Pikachu is such an iconic character, it’s no surprise that there are many versions of the yellow mouse-like Electric-type in the Sims 4 gallery. This Pikachu, created by Simmer jennybu88, makes the list because it manages to incorporate Pikachu’s likeness and cuteness without veering into creepy territory. Most Pikachus are also recreated from cats, but this one is made from a dog, making for a unique take on the Pokemon.
Quite a few of the Pikachu Sims in the Sims 4 gallery end up looking a bit odd, especially when Simmers try to incorporate the character’s huge black eyes. It just doesn’t look quite right, but jennybu88 perfectly balances all the design elements that make this iconic character to create one of the best Pokemon in the Sims 4 gallery.
