Gods, but do we love a mashup. We reported on these incredible Animal Crossing x Hades characters earlier this month, and now we're getting Pokémon x Hades, too. We're spoiled, really.
Artist Erio has been posting their drawings of what they imagine the Olympian gods (at least, their interpretation in Hades) would look like, as well as what Pokémon they would own, their preferred type, and their badges - based on their symbols in Hades.
Athena, with Aegislash and Metagross, is the Divine Badge gym leader, favouring Steel types. Ares, the god of war, is obviously Fighting type, although his use of Emboar implies that he might have a lil fire in there, too.
Poseidon is water type (duh) and runs with Gyarados and Water/Fighting type, Keldeo. Aphrodite, who's wearing a bikini in her re-imagining, is Fairy type, with Sylveon and Hatterene.
Finally, there's goddess of the hunt, Artemis, who favours Dragon type, flanked by Flygon and Mega Sceptile, as well as the suave god of wine and partying, Dionysus, who uses Poison types (his character in Hades provides a poison-type effect called Hangover) and has Victreebel and Low-Key Form Toxtricity.
It seems like Erio plans to keep the series going all the way to the Elite Four and the Champion, so we're excited to see who else makes the cut!
What Pokémon do you think the gods would have in their party? And what type do you think Zagreus would choose? Put your thoughts in the comments below.

The Dragon and Fighting gym leaders look the coolest!
I hands down love this kind of thing. Characters from other games as Pokemon trainers? My jam! Always a fun thing to imagine.
oh wow this is something
l like it
Omg this is beyond amazing
do you think hades is going to get dlc?
I’d play this Pokemon game. The designs are great.
@Snatcher Probably not, V1.0 was already like DLC for those of us that played the alpha and beta. They’ve basically said they don’t have any plans for it.
It's funny cause Emboar and Victreebel aren't even in SwSh
@Snatcher I'd love it if they made DLC, but it would have to be a whole new area - the game is so impeccably balanced that I wouldn't want a new god just thrown in there.
However... If they want to add Hephaestus, I won't complain. My boy got robbed.
I didn’t know I was into Pokemon until I saw this.
Artemis looks even cooler
@KateGray
Yeah, DLC would be tricky for Hades. Alternate routes, ala Dead Cells, would be wonderful, but it would probably be way too much work, and would be really hard to justify and explain in-game. New Gods are more likely... but there are not many choices left for the big names, unless they turn to the likes of Hestia and Leto. I do agree that Hephaestus is a surprising omission!
@Snatcher there's already so much in the "base" game.
@Ooyah how about a story where all Zeus' conquests team up to teach him a lesson?
@KateGray
If you wanted them all on-screen at once, the Switch would run out of memory! Not a nice God, that one. ☹️
The wonderful balance of Hades would be hard to mess with for DLC. Maybe if the Olympians get pissed and Zag has to face to off against them. Maybe a whole run where you use boons of your fellow Underworlders. Powers like Nyx, Megara, and Dusa. Having them as companions would be sweet too but probably much more work. Sequel?
@KateGray hmmm yes so did apollo and hera
