We won’t be needing a Revive on these fainted Pokémon, as this artist has already brought them back to life.

Under the Internet alias ‘PopMuertos’, this particular artist has infused Pokémon with the Mexican artistic-style associated with the Day of the Dead.  Generally, this artistic style is applied to sugar skulls, but PopMuertos decided to apply it to these pop culture icons.

Here are some examples of the artist’s work.
