Gotta morph ’em all! That would presumably be the tagline of an epic mashup between Pokemon and Power Rangers. But such a thing doesn’t exist, right? Wrong. Thanks to an enterprising group of cosplayers at Baltimore’s Otakon convention, the disparate worlds of pocket monster training and super sentai came together in a glorious union.
Reddit user eikyuu posted a gallery of images showcasing the inventive outfits, and now all I want is for this to become a legitimate animated series. You might say, “But Dan, why not a live action one?” Because, just trust me on this one, the world isn’t ready for live-action Pokemon; that’s the story that H.P. Lovecraft never got the chance to write.
