''[[{{Ptitlei015gc004kw4}} Pokémon]]'' has been around for a pretty long time by Internet standards, with the first games coming out in 1996, and has since grown to encompass many different types of media. It's also ridiculously popular, especially with nerds.

The spawning of [[MemeticMutation memes]] was inevitable. [[GottaCatchThemAll Gotta mutate 'em all!]]

** [[PokemonX "I hate pants! They're uncomfortable and difficult to wear!"]]
* Calm mind suicune has no weak.
* A series of {{Image Macro}}s has been going around various boards of [[ImageBoards 4chan]] called "the Poképarents" that portray certain Pokémon as parents of various attitudes, including Charizard as a father that's never satisfied, Blastoise as a dad that's always understanding and fun, and Ninetales as a HotMom who occasionally [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean goes after her own]] (and Gardevoir as a Hot Mom who is in turn ''pursued'').
** BLASTOISE WOULD NEVER HURT MY MOM. HE WOULD NEVER MAKE HER CRY LIKE HER BOYFRIEND JOHNNY DOES, IF BLASTOISE WAS MY DAD THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT AROUND HERE.

* HotSkittyOnWailordAction! [[hottip:Explanation:The TropeNamer for any bizarre, horrifying, or just plain impossible breeding options.

* "We must have that Sweet Honey!

* "IT'S LIKE MY RATTATA IS IN THE TOP PERCENTAGE OF RATTATA!" [[hottip:Explanation:Youngster Joey in G/S/C says this when he calls you for a rematch. Hacking reveals that his Rattata indeed has maximum [=IVs=], thus leading to maximum possible stats for a Rattata. [[JokeCharacter Not that it helps...]] Oh, and [[WelcomeToCorneria he continues saying this after his Rattata evolves into a Raticate]].]]
** '''''TOP FUCKING PERCENTAGE.'''''
* Lance is a [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheating bastard!]] [[hottip:Explanation:Lance, a member of the Elite four in R/B/Y/FR/LG and Champion In G/S/C/HG/SS, has Pokémon with moves they are normally incapable of learning, as well as having evolved too early.]]

** [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=1 You mean DOUCHE]].
* In ''[=HG/SS=]'', the rival forcefully strips the player character of his/her Rocket Grunt disguise. The fanart and fan comics for this scene is honestly staggering.

* Is the Crobat EV'd?
** OFFERING SHINY LEGENDARIES, PM ME WITH REQUESTS! [[hottip:Explanation:Trading chat rooms have three types of people.

[[hottip:Explanation:Cynthia has become well-known for how hard it is to fight her (perfect EV's, her Pokemon are generally of tough to fight species, her moves), her general personality, and her behavior.

** The caption "I see what you did there." with Slowpoke. [[hottip:Explanation:FridgeBrilliance]]
* A musical meme going to the song [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PopNMusic Fushigi na Kusuri]] involves making a trainer feed their Pokemon a Carbos, the Pokemon growing into a muscular freak, exploding from a Metapod and then turning into a [[MagicalGirl Magical Girl]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1iH7x7U7EU .]] It looks like they are trying to do this for [[BeyondtheImpossible EVERY POKEMON YET.]]

It turned Meloetta into a huge hit on 4Chan's /vp/ board.]]
* Gen V's Pokémon have become rather popular for references to CourageTheCowardlyDog. Cofagrigus has been linked with Ramses, for instance. [[hottip:Explanation:The joke is that Cofagrigus is a sarcophagus and Ramses was a pharaoh (RETURN THE SLAB).]]
** Golurk's appearance has been compared to Randy, a HumongousMecha who sucked at enslaving planets.

** WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBUFFET! [[hottip:Explanation:Jessie's Wobbuffet has a habit of interrupting everything; a bit of a LostInTranslation moment for Western audiences who don't know the Japanese sitcom actor it references, but it's still downright weird enough to gain infamy in the West.]]

* "Who's that Pokémon?!" [[hottip:Explanation:A line from the EyeCatch of seasons 1-6 and 14 onward, which as a sort of a guessing game involving the silhouette of a Pokémon. Used in any context to question the identity of a shadowy figure, or to parody the original eyecatches.]]

* Giovanni achieved status as a MemeticBadass for apparently punching out a Blissey, and because "not even an orgy is enough to satisfy his libido".
** Anything Giovanni does, such as [[MundaneUtility using a Lotad as a water basin for his teeth]], going surfing with Pokémon, or being on a playground ride is accompanied by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c LIKE A BOSS!]] in huge letters.

* When someone asks a question, especially one meant to be a trick or incredibly hard, someone responds with "It's a Jigglypuff seen from above!" [[hottip:Explanation:In an episode involving a Pokémon exam, one part required the taker to identify silhouetted Pokémon. When a perfectly round circle showed up, Ash, Jessie, and James guessed things such as Voltorb, Electrode, and a Poké Ball. The meme was the correct answer.]]
* In the early 2000s or so, ''the'' meme amongst Team Rocket fans was "I WANT A DOUGHNUT". It was considered James's catchphrase (even though he only said it once), and led to [[TrademarkFavouriteFood him being associated with doughnuts in general]], especially jelly doughnuts. It even spawned a short webcomic, ''The Adventures of James and the Slightly Obese Cop with the Doughnuts'', in which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin James used various disguises and tricks to steal doughnuts from a policeman]].
** There was also a RunningGag that James' boots were magical, because both times he kicked a Pokémon while wearing them, that Pokémon evolved immediately afterward.

* [[GratuitousEnglish "IT'S TASTING TIME!"]] [[hottip:Explanation:The CatchPhrase of Cilan, a Unova Gym Leader.]]
** Because of Cilan's food gimmick and the fact that his Pokémon look like food (Pansage looks like it has head-broccoli), there are dozens of threads claiming that [[MemeticMolester he plans to eat his Pokémon.]]
* [[MyNameIsNotDurwood The name's]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUUq58cyY9o PINGAS!]] [[hottip:Explanation:Butch, a member of Team Rocket and rival to the familiar Team Rocket trio, has had his name misremembered by everyone else ever since his second appearance. The rest... is YouTubePoop.]]
* Pikachu and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood ketchup]]. Seemingly forgotten ([[WildMassGuessing or maybe not]]) by the writers, but not [[NeverLiveItDown by the fans]].
* How many fanarts have depicted Ash as the ChickMagnet while Brock cries his heart out in the background? TOO MANY.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F19gFFU1LJc Fruit Salad, yummy yummy! Fruit Salad, yummy yummy!!]]
* ''Best Wishes'' episode 14 seems to have spawned a minor meme among Japanese artists. Specifically, where Cilan gets possessed by a Yamask mask. There are a hilarious number of "Dentomasu" pictures floating around.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5i6So-hGaA A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and these men are gonna do it with or without a beautiful girl at their side!]][[hottip:Explanation:DP episode 2:Brock just got his heart broken by the girl he was hitchiking with, and he tells her that he's gonna travel with Ash now. The rest is AccidentalInnuendo.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuBefhp5aNg&feature=related I'm very glad you asked me that Ash, because I think there's a way you can help me...]] [[hottip:Explanation:There's an episode where a Pokémon circus needs a replacement for their lazy Mr. Mime, and Brock asks Ash to do it, by dressing him up as said Mr. Mime. When he says this line, though, Brock makes what can only be called a rape face. [[FreudWasRight You can guess where this is going.]]]]
* The nineteenth episode of BW led to many pictures of Cilan looking evil. Pictures of him laughing over a traumatized Cabernet or [[http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2505/justasplannedn.jpg looking smug]] have led to many DeathNote jokes. [[RapeAsComedy Not to mention, jokes about him raping]] [[RapeAsDrama a traumatized, crying Cabernet.]]
** Before that, there were many jokes about Cilan being secretly evil (such as him stealing Ash's egg and replacing it with a fake, eating his Pokemon). This episode "confirmed" it.
*** It doesn't help that a common fan theory for the games is that Cilan, Cress, and Chili are the secret identities for the villainous Shadow Triad.
* For some reason, [[http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/2473/099k.jpg this image]] of Paul drinking orange juice (from DP episode 100, ''Aiding the Enemy!'') has become something of a meme in Japan. Search "Shinji" on any Japanese fanart site and you're bound to find tons of pictures of Paul sippin' OJ. [[hottip:Explanation:Perhaps for [[NeonGenesisEvangelion this]] [[Memes/NeonGenesisEvangelion reason]]?]]
* Leo Burnett and 4Kids are [[TheDevil the devil]]. [[hottip:Explanation:A so-called subliminal message in a scene where [[OnceAnEpisode James is in the mouth of his Victreebel]] played backwards.]]
** Could also be because of [[{{macekre}} 4Kids' standard operating procedure]].
* According to the [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Pokédex]], Alakazam's IQ is [[DragonBall OVER]] [[PowerLevels FIVE]] [[MemeticMutation THOUSAAAAAAND!!!]]
* Dento/Cilan isn't gay. He's FABULOUS. [[hottip:Explanation:Or in reference to ANY of the Trial Triangle, really. Dent's just the one most immediately associated with it. They're young, well-dressed, effeminate males who work at a battle cafe. Do the math.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvK0QnRyau0#t=0m12s Sexy Gabite]] now shows up way too often in YoutubePoop.
* Thanks to BW010, fans begin to call Trip's Servine a [[CombatSadomasochist masochist]]. [[hottip:Explanation:Trip's Servine was hit by Ash's Snivy's (who is female) Attract. While most Pokémon gain hearts in their eyes when they are hit by it, the fact that Ash told his Snivy to use [[WhipitGood Vine Whip]] and the fact that the hearts in Servine's eyes got bigger after the attack... Not to mention he's still smiling when he fainted.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMPkyRUc3DQ Venustoise]]. Probably the most well known fake Pokémon, due to it actually being in the anime as an illusion.
* [[http://www.geekstir.com/img/motivator001.jpg Ash Ketchum... he's an ass man.]]
* "You can't do this. ''I won't let you.''"[[hottip:Explanation:In the first Pokemon movie, Ash delivers this line to Mewtwo, who created a legion of cloned Pokemon from other trainers, easily dismantled their Pokemon (including Ash's) and announced his plans to, essentially, wipe out human civilization. Despite being horribly outgunned against [[GameBreaker the most powerful Pokemon at the time]], Ash ''still'' chooses to stand up to him.]]
