A Pokémon fan who is also an animator and modder has gained popularity on social media for creating their own Legendary Pokémon called Regitube. This new Pokémon has captured the attention of fans and has become a hit online.
In the Pokémon series, there is a group of Legendary Pokémon known as the Legendary Giants or the Regis. These Pokémon have names that follow a specific convention, such as Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. The fan-created Regitube follows this naming convention and is based on the remaining Pokémon types.
The idea for Regitube came from a short video shared on Twitter by user Yisuno. The video showed someone covering their body with large, light blue rubber rings while the battle theme from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire played in the background. Yisuno took this concept further by creating a fully animated model of Regitube using the graphics from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pearl.
Regitube is depicted as a Water-type Pokémon with no person inside its rings. It has dots on its face, similar to the other Regis. The concept of Regitube has been well-received and has gained popularity online. Yisuno’s animated model of Regitube and a battle animation featuring the Pokémon have garnered millions of views and likes on Twitter.
Although Regitube will never be featured in an official Pokémon game, fans have enjoyed pretending that it exists in the Pokémon universe. Fanart and discussions about Regitube’s potential in the competitive scene have emerged on platforms like Know Your Meme and Reddit. Some fans have even created their own stats, move lists, and strategies for Regitube.
