In a surprising crossover, a Genshin Impact mod has introduced one of the beloved starter Pokemon from the Pokemon games into the popular mobile game. The mod replaces the 5-star Hydro character Neuvellite with Squirtle, allowing players to play as the iconic Water-type Pokemon. The mod showcases Squirtle using hydro attacks to defeat Slimes and Hilichurls while the original Pokemon theme tune plays in the background. Although the mod doesn’t include Squirtle’s signature attacks, Neuvillete’s skills act as suitable replacements, creating a fairly accurate representation of Squirtle in Genshin Impact.
The Genshin Impact modding community has been actively adding their favorite characters to the game, despite mods not being officially supported by HoYoverse, the developer of Genshin Impact. As Genshin Impact utilizes elemental combat mechanics, the addition of Pokemon characters seems fitting, given their elemental affiliations in the Pokemon games. While this Squirtle mod has gained attention from the community, it’s important to note that using mods can result in an account ban.
Although an official Genshin Impact x Pokemon crossover is unlikely to occur, fans can still look forward to other potential crossover events in the future. Many players are eagerly anticipating a Honkai Star Rail x Genshin Impact crossover event. As Genshin Impact continues to captivate players with its immersive world and gameplay, the modding community’s creativity adds another layer of excitement and possibilities to the game.
