Picture of a Blaziken (Pokémon) stylized with the colors and adornements of a Careto of Podence, like a regional variant of the Pokémon. The Caretos of Podence are a vibrant and unique tradition from the village of Podence in northern Portugal. These colorful masked figures are central to the "Entrudo Chocalheiro," a Carnival celebration marking the end of winter and the arrival of spring.
Carnival is upon us, and the horde of tricolored, bell-ringing rascals are unleashed onto the streets of the northern Portuguese village of Podence.
This tribute has been on my mind for a while now, so here's a "regional variant" inspired by this colorful tradition. 🧵
