This meme opens with a top text caption that reads 'the group of water bottles in my room when i bring in another one:', paired with a screenshot from the Pokemon animated series. The screenshot shows four Squirtles belonging to the Squirtle Squad, who wear black jackets, happily greeting an approaching standard Squirtle. The joke references the common relatable habit of accumulating multiple partially used or unused water bottles in one's living space, framing the addition of a new bottle as being enthusiastically welcomed by the existing collection, in parallel with the warm welcome the Squirtle Squad gives the new Squirtle.

This meme displays three images of the Pokémon character Bulbasaur arranged in a left-to-right progression. The leftmost image is an official sprite from older Pokémon video games showing Bulbasaur with a grumpy, annoyed expression, while the middle and right images are newer official promotional art of Bulbasaur looking progressively more happy and excited. Below the images, text compares Bulbasaur's change in presentation from grumpy Pokémon to cheerful 'cabbage frog' (a playful nickname for Bulbasaur referencing the plant bulb on its back), and encourages viewers to maintain positivity through difficult periods just like Bulbasaur did.

This is a two-part comparison meme. The top section is captioned 'Kids today getting their video game turned into a movie get this', paired with the original 2D animated Pikachu from the Pokemon franchise next to the well-received, accurate cute CGI live-action Pikachu from the 2019 *Detective Pikachu* film. The bottom section is captioned 'Kids in my day got this...', paired with the original cartoon Goomba enemy from the Super Mario video game franchise next to the widely mocked, unrecognizable, monstrous Goomba character design from the poorly received 1993 live-action *Super Mario Bros.* film. The joke highlights the massive improvement in video game movie adaptation quality over time, and pokes fun at how terrible earlier attempts at the genre were for older audiences.

This image displays a custom printed parody holographic Pokémon trading card inside a clear plastic protective sleeve, placed on a marble-patterned countertop. The card parodies the iconic rare 1st edition Base Set Charizard Pokémon card, featuring a heavily modified, extremely curvy and overweight ('thicc') version of the fire-type Pokémon Charizard. All text on the card is altered to lean into the comedic, suggestive 'thicc' joke, including renaming the character Thicc Charizard, noting it evolves from Thicc Charmeleon, adding a joke Pokémon power, a 100 damage 'Fire Ring' attack, and lewd double entendre flavor text referencing 'cheek friction fires' that alludes to the character's exaggeratedly large buttocks.

This relatable composite meme contrasts a serious high-stakes family conflict with a young child's trivial personal priorities. The background features a violent fight scene between Godzilla and King Kong, captioned as the user's parents arguing over getting a divorce. In the foreground, the character Peacemaker sits looking down focused on an object in his hand, captioned as the 10-year-old version of the user wondering which Pokemon starter to pick, completely unbothered by the chaotic, destructive conflict happening directly behind him. The joke relies on the common childhood experience of prioritizing small, fun personal interests over major stressful family events occurring in their surroundings.

This is a humorous gaming meme referencing the Pokemon franchise. The top segment displays pixel art from a Hoenn-region Pokemon game, showing the legendary Pokemon Groudon stranded on a tiny patch of land in a mostly ocean map, while the opposing legendary Kyogre floats in the surrounding water as rain falls (a weather effect caused by Kyogre that negates Groudon's natural sun-based ability and puts Groudon at a severe type disadvantage). The bottom segment features a closeup of Groudon's annoyed, unimpressed face paired with the text "The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math." The joke plays on the relatable experience of making a poorly planned, overconfident decision that backfires immediately, framed through the in-game mistake of bringing a ground-type, land-associated Pokemon to a battle map almost entirely covered in water against its strongest counter.

This is a single-panel meme on a plain white background. The fully drawn Pokemon character Bulbasaur stands on the left side of the frame, facing right with a calm, slight smile. Only a tiny partial sliver of a purple shape, implied to be another character, is visible at the far right edge of the frame, intentionally cut off. The visual demonstrates how misinformation spreads: audiences are only given an incomplete, partial view of a subject, leading to unfounded assumptions, rumors, and incorrect information being shared as fact.

The image shows a smiling man holding two items: in his left hand, he holds the official box for the Lego Pokémon Eevee set, which displays the expected cute, properly assembled Eevee figure. In his right hand, he holds a custom, deliberately misassembled version of the set made with the same brown and beige Lego pieces, which looks like a monstrous, snarling crab-like creature with jagged exposed teeth, raised clawed limbs, and no resemblance to the official Eevee design. The man wears a teal button-up shirt printed with Super Mario sun characters, and a calendar hangs on the wall behind him. The humor derives from the title 'Don’t tell me what to do', as the creator intentionally ignored the official assembly instructions to build his own absurd design instead of following the rules for the set.

This is an edited crossover meme screenshot from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The protagonist Carl 'CJ' Johnson is shown from behind, standing with both hands raised in a surrender gesture, facing three first-generation Kanto Pokemon starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Charmander is notably holding two submachine guns pointed toward CJ, framing the three normally cute, family-friendly Pokemon as armed robbers. The background features a typical GTA San Andreas urban sidewalk and street setting, with NPC pedestrians, a parked wood-paneled SUV, and road markings visible. The humor comes from the absurd juxtaposition of the kid-friendly Pokemon franchise and the gritty, violent Grand Theft Auto franchise, subverting audience expectations for both properties.

This meme uses dark fantasy action artwork depicting a tiny human warrior charging to attack a towering, screaming, monstrous knight standing in an apocalyptic battlefield. The towering giant knight is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE AVERAGE FANBASE', while the small attacking warrior is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE POKEMON FANBASE'. The joke satirizes the unusually high levels of toxicity, infighting, and aggressive discourse present in the Pokemon fan community, which is counter-intuitive given the Pokemon franchise is targeted at all ages including young children.

This meme creates a comedic crossover between the Pokemon franchise and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man film series. The top text states 'Pidgey after learning sand attack be like', referencing the common Pokemon move Sand Attack that lowers an opponent's accuracy by throwing sand or dirt in their eyes. The visual is a still of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man from the 2002 Spider-Man film, edited with the iconic yellow and black face markings of the Pokemon Pidgey over his eyes. The bottom text features the famous movie line 'I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye', which directly parallels the effect of the Sand Attack move to deliver the joke.

This image is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post showing a comedic custom Pokemon fusion. The post by user Lio @LioNishimori is captioned 'THIS FUSION IS SO FUNNY'. Two side-by-side images are included: the left is a close-up pixel art of the fusion between Pokemon Wobbuffet and Haunter, which has Wobbuffet's wide open screaming face, light blue color, and Haunter's floating disembodied hand appendages raised in the air. The right panel displays the same fusion in a game UI, with an ID number 39262 (202.93) above it, labeled 'Wobbuffet/Haunter', with Psychic (misspelled as PSYCHC) and Ghost type indicators below. A small reaction emoji at the bottom left of the entire image mimics the fusion's pose, showing a yellow face screaming with both hands raised upwards. The joke relies on the unexpectedly silly, over-the-top expressive design of the combined Pokemon.
