A dedicated fan of Overwatch 2 has come up with creative skin designs, metamorphosing characters Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball into Jessie, James, and Meowth from Pokémon. The community of Overwatch 2 frequently shares ingenious skin ideas that haven’t been officially introduced yet, demonstrating the exciting possibilities for future crossovers between Blizzard’s shooter and other franchises.
As a dedicated Pokémon enthusiast, I’ve got to say that among the numerous antagonists the series has introduced, none have left such an indelible mark as Jessie and James from Team Rocket. Known for their unyielding chase after Pikachu, which always resulted in them “blasting off” – a phrase that’s become synonymous with their misadventures!
Despite being part of the villainous faction, they’ve earned a special place in our hearts due to their close bond with Meowth and other beloved pocket monsters like Arbok and Weezing. Their popularity has placed them among the most adored characters in the Pokémon universe.
Recently, an Overwatch 2 fan showcased their appreciation for this iconic trio by sharing some remarkable fan art, paying tribute to these memorable characters from the world of Pokémon.
On the r/Overwatch2 subreddit, user leadius posted creative skin concepts envisioning Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball as characters from Pokémon: Jessie, James, and Meowth respectively. The Overwatch 2 sniper sports a distinctive Team Rocket uniform with her visor modeled after Wobbuffet’s eyes, while her rifle features Arbok’s colors and shape in both modes. Lifeweaver dons the same white attire adorned with an R emblem, and his equipment is colored and designed to resemble Victreebel. The gauntlet on his right arm takes the form of Weezing, while the spikes, though not yet solidified in the concept, will recall Cacnea – one of James’ Pokemon for dedicated fans.
Creative Overwatch 2 Skin Concept Imagines Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball as Team Rocket
In the world of Pokémon anime, Wrecking Ball is depicted as Meowth, Jessie, and James’ cherished companion. This mechanical friend has two distinct designs: one resembling a standard Poke Ball in red and white, with an ammo pack on the side that looks like a Pokemon TCG tin. The second design paints Wrecking Ball’s mecha in black and red, featuring the Team Rocket R logo at the top, with the same ammo pack as before. Notably, this alternate version is a tribute to the Rocket’s Poke Ball card from the 2004 Pokemon TCG EX Team Rocket Returns expansion.
It seems that neither Blizzard nor The Pokemon Company have announced any plans for an Overwatch 2 and Pokemon crossover event at this time. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm displayed by fans in response to the suggested idea demonstrates its potential appeal. Interestingly, a collaboration with another popular franchise, G.I. Joe, has already been launched, as G.I. Joe skins are now available for Overwatch 2 characters.
