This is a two-panel meme using screenshots from the original Pokemon animated series. The top text reads: 'When i was a kid, I kept wondering why Jessie & James chose to train Lickitung and Weepinbell, but now I understand.' The left panel shows Weepinbell, labeled as James's Pokemon, with its large, wide open mouth against a dynamic action line background. The right panel shows Lickitung, labeled as Jessie's Pokemon, hovering over Jessie who is lying flat on her back on the ground, with Lickitung's very long tongue extended outward. The humor comes from a suggestive adult double entendre that children would miss: Weepinbell's open mouth and Lickitung's long tongue in the respective contexts evoke sexual imagery, explaining the 'adult realization' joke that makes re-watching the scene as an adult feel different.

This is a 3-panel hand-drawn web comic based on the Pokemon franchise. In the first panel, Misty peeks around a wall and asks Ash, "Can I borrow your Lickitung, Ash?" In the second panel, Ash smiles and agrees, asking "Sure, Misty! What for?" while his Lickitung sits beside him with its long tongue extended. The third panel delivers the punchline: Misty responds with a suggestive, playful expression saying "Pokemon stuff?" The joke relies on a double entendre: "Pokemon stuff" sounds like "poke 'em on stuff", implying a lewd, intimate use for Lickitung's tongue, which is the core humorous and suggestive twist of the comic.

The meme consists of text at the top reading 'Not sure what this Pikachu is going through but I relate', placed above a low-resolution, low-poly 3D model of Pikachu from a classic Pokémon video game. The Pikachu appears disoriented, wobbly, and visibly distressed as it moves unsteadily across a green grass background. The humor comes from the relatable sentiment that the viewer understands the Pikachu's unstated distress, even without knowing what is causing it, and sees their own experiences of stress or overwhelm reflected in the character.
