Since the originalPokemongames were released back in the 1990s, morePokemonfans have discovered the series as it received new iterations over each generation of consoles.Pokemonplayers each have their favorite region from the games, and onePokemon Gold and Silverfan has encapsulated their appreciation for the earlyPokemongames by creating a piece of the Ruins of Alph.
Reddit user Western_Muffin_5668 recently shared their physical version of a piece of the Ruins of Alph fromPokemon Gold and Silver, showcasing a slab of what looks like a brick wall with different letters of Unown painted on it. The portion of the Ruins of Alph wall that Western_Muffin_5668 has replicated physically has Unown characters that spell out the word “capes,” with the first three letters being placed above the last two. Beyond simply recreating this part of the ruin walls, Western_Muffin_5668 has framed it alongside an image of Route 32, which is the setting of the Ruins of Alph inPokemon Gold and Silver.

Western_Muffin_5668 shows the Ruins of Alph piece from multiple angles to illustrate the realistic and aged appearance of the wall despite its handcrafted nature. The brick seemingly starts to fray and warp on the edges of the slab of brown, and red wall and each brick looks like it has been corroded by time as it would if the Ruins of Alph piece had come from a legitimate ruin. Because the piece of Ruins of Alph that Western_Muffin_5668 has created is from the middle of otherUnown letters, the areas that would’ve connected to other Unown have been fittingly altered to resemble a slab that has been fragmented from a complete wall.
The final image of Western_Muffin_5668’sPokemon Gold and Silverfan piece shows the framed set hanging next to another framed fan art thePokemonenthusiast has made in the past. Their other work centers on the ancientdepiction of Mewand the description of it from Dr. Fuji inPokemon: The First Movie. The two ancientPokemonworks of art look natural placed together as if they’re from the same game despite one being inspired byPokemon Red and Blueand the other fromPokemon Gold and Silver.
Pokemon Gold and Silverplayers may have experienced the ruins for themselves as much of the late game focuses on solving puzzles at various locations. While unlocking the mystery of the Unown is part of the Ruins of Alph experience, there are also slide puzzles that feature the likenesses ofLegendary Pokemon Ho-Oh, fossil Pokemon Kabuto, and more. It’s currently unclear if Western_Muffin_5668 intends to make more ancientPokemon-themed art, but mostPokemongenerations include references to the ancient past that may inspire future work such as The Ancient Tomb inPokemon Ruby and Sapphireand Abyssal Ruins inPokemon Black and White.
