Seeing Cyborg and Beast Boy transformed into Ash and Pikachu is something fans didn’t know they needed…

In an effort to get back on DC’s radar, the Titans dive into crossovers with other iconic media, and one of the most memorable is their brief but flawless encounter with thePokémonuniverse.

SeeingCyborg and Beast Boytransformed into Ash and Pikachu is something fans didn’t know they needed, but now that they’ve seen it, there’s no doubt they’ll be obsessed with how perfectly Victor and Beast Boy pull off this Pokémon duo. While Cyborg keeps his signatureTeen Titans Go!design, his facial features—especially his eyes, mouth, and nose—clearly reflect thePokémonart style.Beast Boy’s transformation into a green Pikachu further solidifies the reference, making the crossover between the two media all the more entertaining.
The humor is elevated when Cyborg declares,“Beast Boy, I choose… you!”—a clever nod to thePokémonfranchise’s iconic catchphrase, where trainers, especially Ash, shout“I choose you!”before releasing theirPokémonfrom their Poké Balls for battle. This mash-up of the two worlds is a perfect blend of humor and nostalgia. The only thing that could have made it even better would have been seeing the rest of the Teen Titans stylized in the iconicPokémonart style.
