If there is one thing people can count on, it’s thatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfans will come up with beautiful new throwbacks to their favorite games. There are certainly a multitude of ways to be creative inNew Horizons, with many theming their island around a certain concept or video game. In the case of one Reddit user, they have managed to create a wonderful representation of whatPokemon’s Cerulean City Gym might look like in theAnimal Crossinguniverse.
Thanks to the huge suite of creative tools available toNew Horizonsplayers, the ability to recreate scenes from other games has become a popular pastime, with places likeLeah’s house fromStardew Valleybeing faithfully recreated in the world ofAnimal Crossing, along with a huge array of other titles. The combined efforts of custom clothing prints, custom floor patterns, and specific use ofNew Horizons’massive library of furniture items has allowed players to be more accurate in their depictions than any otherAnimal Crossinggame to date.

Redditor moni_acnh posted their incredible recreation with a series of comparison screenshots of the actualCerulean City Gym fromPokemonLet’s Go Pikachu.Moni managed to convert theirNew Horizonshome into the Gym using a series of custom floor tiles and a heavy dose of the game’s “water flooring” craftable using summer shells. The Gym is complete with the large seashell and underwater plants that decorate the original, as well as being home to the actual Gym Leader herself, Misty.
UsingNew Horizons’custom clothing designs, Moni managed to perfectly create Misty in-game, complete with her yellow shirt and short-shorts, and even sporting an adorable Togepi strapped to her chest in a red Baby Bjorn. These kinds of details are littered around Moni’s build, with a custom made life-preserver floating in the waters of the Gym and a red snapper acting as Magikarp to help complete the overall aesthetic. There is even a male version of the Misty costume if players want to reimagine the Cerulean City Gym with a male Gym Leader.
The amount of detail poured into Moni’s creation shows thatNew Horizonsfans can make whatever they put their mind to if given the right resources. If Nintendo were to consistently add new furniture items and clothing to the game and really bulk out the game’s creative catalog, it would certainly help to keep the ball rolling on these types of recreations. Luckily,Nintendo is still offering relatively consistent updatesto the game, which will hopefully helpAnimal Crossingplayers to flex their creative muscles even more.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis available now for Nintendo Switch.
