Summary
APokemonfan has designed a Future Paradox form for Snorlax with an interesting theme behind it. ThePokemonconcept is quite creative, turning Snorlax into a Pokemon that future humans might rely upon for entertainment at home.
Snorlax has always been a pretty popular Pokemon, due to both its stats and its overall design. While it’s possible for some Pokemon to be missed by gamers who speed through aPokemontitle, Snorlax literally blocks the path and the player’s progression in the originalGen 1Pokemongames, which helped to make it leave a big impression on players. This Future Paradox form of Snorlax would be less of a hindrance, but the design still leans into its sleepy and lazy nature.
Pokemonfan and artist Shroodledoodles has shared one more of their Future Paradox Pokemon, this time giving Snorlax a unique form based on a TV. Images of the Snorlax show the television screen making up its stomach, giving it the name Iron Screen. The Shiny version of this form is also included, with the blue and grey coloring becoming paler. According to Shroodledoodles, the hypnotic nature of television made them think of making Snorlax a Normal/Psychic-Type. The overall idea for making Snorlax into a TV, besides it having a body shape that reminded the artist of old CRT televisions, was the idea that TV has a bad rap for making people lazy and inattentive, and Snorlax has always been depicted as being a sleepy,lazy Pokemon.
Players seem to be quite enthusiastic about the Snorlax design, with several joking about its large size. One noted that a wall mount wouldn’t be able to withstand Iron Screen, while another suggested that theFuture Paradox Snorlaxwould always be playing a cooking channel because Snorlax loves eating. Another fan suggested making the Shiny variant a black and white TV instead, which Shroodledoodles seemed very interested in.

However, despite the fandom’s lasting fondness of the Pokemon, it hasn’t seen much of a change in the games over the years.Pokemon Sword and Shieldsaw the introduction of Gigantamax Snorlax, but outside of that, the most significant update to the creature was the addition of its baby evolution Munchlax back in Gen 4.
