Pokemon Go's Team Leaders, as seen through the lens of Tumblr fandom

Pokemon Go and its charismatic Team Leaders have lit a fire in the hearts of artists everywhere. Just look at these gorgeous works.

The Pokemon Go panel at San Diego Comic Con revealed the leaders of Team Valor, Mystic and Instinct - previously rendered only as mysterious silhouettes.

Immediately, the Pokemon Go fandom on Tumblr embraced their glorious leaders with a fervour bordering on obsessive. Let's take a tour through some of my favourite posts, because this is my party and I do what I want.

The best thing about the Pokemon Go Team Leader reveal is that the love for Candela, Blanche and Spark quelled tensions between the warring factions almost immediately. The character of the teams themselves has been rewritten for many players, as exemplified in this cartoon.

There's a heck of a lot more out there - click any of the tags in the posts above for stacks of Pokemon Go art from talented artists all over the world. Remember when you'd have to flick through the reader submitted art pages in magazines to see this sort of stuff? I love the Internet.
