AnOverwatch 2fan has created inventive skin concepts, transforming Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball into Jessie, James, and Meowth. TheOverwatch 2community often shares ingenious ideas for skins that don’t yet officially exist, showcasing the potential for crossovers that Blizzard’s shooter could have in the future.
Pokemonintroduced many villainsover the years, but few have become as memorable as Jessie and James. The Team Rocket agents became famous in the anime for their relentless pursuit of Pikachu, which always ended with them blasting off. Although they are part of the bad guys' team, Jessie and James are remembered for their close friendship with Meowth and other pocket monsters such as Arbok and Weezing, becoming some of the most beloved characters. Paying tribute to this popular trio from thePokemonfranchise, anOverwatch 2fan shared some creative fan art.
On theOverwatch 2subreddit, user leadius shared skin concepts, imagining Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball as Jessie, James, and Meowth. TheOverwatch 2sniperwears the iconic Team Rocket outfit, while her visor is styled like Wobbuffet’s eyes, and her rifle has Arbok’s colors and shape in both modes. Lifeweaver appears in the same white outfit with an R on his chest, and the gear on his back has been given Victreebel’s colors and design. The gauntlet on his right hand has been given a Weezing design, while the spikes, although not stabilized in the concept, will remind fans of Cacnea, one of James' Pokemon.
Creative Overwatch 2 Skin Concept Imagines Widowmaker, Lifeweaver, and Wrecking Ball as Team Rocket
Wrecking Ball is imagined as Meowth, Jessie, and James' belovedcompanion in thePokemonanime. Its mecha has two versions: one is styled like a regular Poke Ball in red and white, and the ammunition pack on the side is aPokemon TCGtin. The second version paints Wrecking Ball’s mecha in black and red, with the iconic Team Rocket R on top, with the same ammo pack. Interestingly, this variant is a reference to Rocket’s Poke Ball, a card from the 2004Pokemon TCGEX Team Rocket Returns expansion.
Blizzard and The Pokemon Company have not shown any plans for anOverwatch 2xPokemoncrossover. However, the positive reaction to the concepts shared by the OP showcases that there is great potential in this idea. While this collab is not real, the crossover with another popular IP has just gone live, releasingG.I. Joeskins forOverwatch 2heroes.
