Pokemon Fan Builds LEGO Ho-Oh

One talented Pokemon fan recently built an amazing sculpture of the legendary Ho-Oh out of LEGO bricks. Nintendo’s ongoing series of monster-collecting RPGs is a constant source of impressive fan artwork, with Pokemon players recreating their favorite creatures in drawings and sculptures that are often shared on social media for other fans to view and appreciate.

LEGO is another franchise that has multi-generational appeal among video game fans, so it might come as no small surprise that Pokemon fans have pieced together tributes to their favorite creature-raising series using the beloved Danish building toys. These fanmade LEGO constructions range from model versions of famous Pokemon locations like Kanto’s Route 3 to replicas of Eevee and its ever-expanding evolutionary line. Other, more recent Pokemon LEGO projects include Scarlet and Violet creatures like Koraidon and Scream Tail, as well as an assortment of Pokemon Sun and Moon’s interdimensional Ultrabeasts in the style of LEGO’s old Bionicle line.

Reddit user and LEGO fan builder eyemcantoeknees recently posted photos of their latest creation on r/pokemon: a model of Pokemon Gold and Silver’s legendary Ho-Oh made from LEGO bricks. This recreation of the fabled Rainbow Pokemon is incredibly well-detailed, capturing its majestic red, white, and green wings, fiery golden tail and head feathers, and piercing orange eyes. For added flair, Ho-Oh is connected to a LEGO base modeled after a Pokemon Gold Game Boy Color cartridge. The comments section is filled with praise from eyemcantoeknees’s work, with many left wishing for an official line of Pokemon LEGO sets.

Ho-Oh Is A Legend of the Gen 2 Pokemon Games

Ho-Oh remains one of the most popular Legendaries in the Pokemon franchise, even making a cameo appearance in the very first episode of the Pokemon anime a few years before its debut in the Generation 2 Pokemon games. There, it served as a cover monster alongside the equally legendary Lugia, whom eyemcantoeknees has also made a LEGO model of. In Gold and Silver, there is only one Ho-Oh in existence, and Trainers can attempt to capture it by climbing to the top of the Tin Tower while in possession of the Rainbow Wing item.

Many Pokemon fans have paid homage to Ho-Oh through artwork, with some of them even designing alternate Paradox variants and baby versions of the great bird and its silver-colored counterpart. Eyemcantoeknees’s latest Pokemon LEGO model continues this by skillfully capturing Ho-Oh’s appearance in plastic blocks with a remarkable level of detail that is enough to leave players wishing for a Pokemon LEGO crossover game.
