A talented modder has brought the starter Pokem♉on from the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games into the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

took to Twitter to share their creation, which gathers Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and Quaxly together in the adorable animal world as they're accompanied by a lab coat-clad villager, meant to act as the "professor" that would normally let you choose which character you'd start the game with. The result is an amazingly realistic imagining of what it might look like if the Pokemon set foot into Animal Cross🐽ing. 

Each 'mon is even wearing a fun little outfit that fits their elemental theme. Sp🅘rigatito is proudly sporting a T-shirt with a floral print, Fuecocoo's shirt prominently features flames, and Quaxly's outfit vaguely resem♈bles another famous water fowl character: Donald Duck.

The models were patched into Animal Crossing: New Horizons by way o♒f a modded Switch.
