A Pokémorph (portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "anthropomorph") is a fanon created creature that is partly human and partly Pokémon. The concept of the Pokémorph is virtually nonexistent in canon sources, but has thrived since at least 1998 in fanfiction, fanart, and doujin. Pokémorphs are seen by some as an extension of Furry fandom, although certainly not everyone who writes about or draws these creatures is a member of this subculture. Pokémorphs are a common topic for role plays, and several forums, online journal communities, and MUSHes revolve around them.

  • A Pokémorph (portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "anthropomorph") is a fanon created creature that is partly human and partly Pokémon. The concept of the Pokémorph is virtually nonexistent in canon sources, but has thrived since at least 1998 in fanfiction, fanart, and doujin.

Pokémorphs are a common topic for role plays, and several forums, online journal communities, and MUSHes revolve around them. The term "Pokémorph" (this time derived from "Pokémon" and "polymorph") is also sometimes used to describe fanfics about shapeshifter characters who can take the form of numerous Pokémon (often based in large part upon the Animorphs books by K. A. Applegate). Although some evidence indicates that this usage of the term predates the former explanation, it has faded in popularity, and "Pokémorph," today, almost always refers to an anthropomorphic Pokémon.
