Pokemon cosplayer haunts Alola region as chilling Mimikyu The Pokemon Company \/ Instagram: @kitsune_ravenwingA Pokemon cosplayer made waves on Instagram after sharing their spine-tingling Mimikyu cosplay. The artist\u2019s stunning take on Sun & Moon favorite will give fans chills. Despite only making its debut in 2016\u2019s Sun & Moon, Mimikyu has quickly risen to become one of the most popular characters in the Pokemon franchise\u2019s 25-year history. Cosplayer Melanie Rodriguez celebrated the Ghost-type by bringing it to life with her adorable costume. The artist\u2019s recreation is so good, it\u2019s almost as if the Alolan \u2018mon has warped out of the screen. Mimikyu cosplay brings popular Pokemon to life Cosplayer kitsune_ravenwing shared her mind-blowing depiction of the Gen VII character in a series of posts on Instagram. In one photo, the artist posed in her stylish re-creation of the Pokemon\u2019s iconic cloth-sack costume. In the series, the Ghost-type hides under a pile of rags that are meant to mimic the shape of a Pikachu. Melanie cleverly captured this by wearing a hoodie version of the outfit while capturing the ghost\u2019s shadowy form with her flowing black hair. Speaking to Dexerto, Kitsune revealed that her fiance helped her create the cosplay in 2020 as an anniversary gift and explained why she loves the Alolan \u2018mon. \u201cI related to how Mimikyu only ever wanted to make friends and felt like it had to blend in, despite being something it\u2019s not, in order to find acceptance.\u201d View this post on Instagram Speaking on why Pokemon fans such as herself can\u2019t get enough of Mimikyu, Melanie told us, \u201cMimikyu brings a lot of joy to people without realizing its true worth and I\u2019ve had a lot of people tell me how I\u2019ve done the same for them, also through my novels (I\u2019m also a YA fantasy writer).\u201d View this post on Instagram As for what the artist will work on next, Melanie Rodriguez revealed that she is creating several Nintendo-themed cosplays. \u201cI\u2019m a huge Nintendo nerd, so my next few cosplay plans include a few characters from Fire Emblem and Legend of Zelda.\u201d Pokemon isn\u2019t the only popular franchise she has covered, the insanely talented artist has also re-created characters from anime shows such as My Hero Academia as well.
