# Fantasy Pocket Monster Stitchings This Geeky Cross Stitch Fuses Game of Thrones and Pokemon By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-11-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeky-cross-stitch References: [craftster.org](http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=428222.0) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/ca/people/OverDramaticDesigns?ref=owner_profile_leftnav) Self-proclaimed “avid crafter” Beki Harrison created this incredible geeky cross stitch that mixes both Pokemon and Game of Thrones. This Pokemon/Game of Thrones cross stitch depicts the Game of Thrones characters Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen as battling [Pokemon trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-friends). Anyone who has played Pokemon will find the scene instantly recognizable as one where you are called out into battle by a fellow trainer. I’m not sure how much of a fair fight this will be as Daenerys not only has two more Pokemon than Jon but they also happen to be dragons. Then again they’re just [baby dragons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-pokmon) and Jon’s Pokemon Ghost is almost fully grown, so he might have a chance. Regardless of who might win the battle, I think it’s safe to say we all win when a geeky cross stitch is this good. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geeky Cross Stitching:** There is a growing trend of creating geeky cross stitch designs inspired by popular franchises like Pokemon and Game of Thrones. - **Mashup Art:** The trend of creating mashup art by combining elements from different pop culture franchises is gaining popularity among artists and fans alike. - **Nostalgic Crafts:** There is a resurgence of interest in traditional crafts such as cross stitching, as people seek out nostalgic and hands-on activities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Crafting and DIY:** The crafting and DIY industry can capitalize on the trend of geeky cross stitch designs by offering specialized kits and materials for creating unique and themed projects. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can embrace the trend of mashup art by collaborating with artists to create licensed merchandise and limited-edition prints. - **Entertainment and Gaming:** The entertainment and gaming industry can tap into the nostalgia trend by collaborating with crafters and artists to create licensed products and promotional tie-ins. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Anime Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-4.md) - [Bedazzled Anime Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-ice-x-pokmon.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-crafts-exhibition.md) - [Anime-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-thieves-5.md) - [Whimsical Anime Decor Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-2.md) - [Monster-Themed Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-pokmon-collection.md) - [High-Fashion Anime Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-frgmt-x-pokmon-collection.md) - [Thematic Dragon-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-inspired-timepieces.md) - [Elevated Anime-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-pokmon-mosaic-collection.md)
