This take on Bellsprout was created by happyclaypot and shared on Reddit. As their name implies, they make a variety of ceramics featuring multiple franchises. The cup takes inspiration from the upper half of a Bellsprout; its large, yellow head is complemented by a gaping mouth along with small leaves and little eyes. All this fits perfectly in the model’s hand as shown from two different pictures. Though having a more unique design in the series, Bellsprout shares similarities in usage and typing tothe many kinds of mushroom-inspired Pokemon.
As a Grass-type, Bellsprout goes with themes of nature and greenery. And the real-life inspiration of the “Flower Pokemon” comes from pitcher plants that wait to digest prey that fall inside. As a cup, the most happyclaypot’s Bellsprout will hold is likely some tea. Other creators have made thisPokemon on a 3D printer as a collectible figurine.
Reddit users took to the comment section to compliment happyclaypot on their most recent creation. Just because this plant didn’t make thetop ten Grass-type Pokemon designsdoesn’t mean there isn’t some love to go around. Other than being used as a fancy cup to sip from, one person said they would bring this Bellsprout with them for some gardening. Another suggested adding to the family with a Victreebel pitcher. Regardless of what everyone had to say, the general consensus was that this is a cute cup that viewers would gladly buy if the option was there.
Happyclaypot engaged with some comments to hint that Victreebel could become a futurePokemonproject. More set in clay is the possibility of a Peashooter cup fromPlants vs. Zombies. PopCap Games' tower defense masterpiece is still seen asone of the best zombie games everyears after release. Only time will tell what happyclaypot will end up making and how badly their fans will continue to want to buy these labors of love.
