Pokémon Go Glitches Inspire Creepy Fan Art

The Pokémon Go AR game took the world by storm causing both business windfalls for those savvy enough to take advantage of the craze and a slew of accidents and targeted crime. While trainers took to their parks, streets, and local landmarks, Niantic did their best to update the game to meet privacy concerns and server-related glitches.

One glitch has in turn inspired art. Twitter user Brachy looked at screenshots of when the game mashes two Pokémon together in a single spawn and redrew them in all their mutant glory.

Niantic revealed at the Apple Special Event on Wednesday that 4.6 billion kilometers (2.9 billion miles) have been traveled on Pokémon Go worldwide. An Apple Watch version will launch by the end of the year.
