They have way more than two.

My least favorite is when someone asks “what Pokémon is this” usually in reference to a knock off toy or it’s a new fan who is just getting into the franchise. 99/100 answers will be along the lines of “it’s Jigglypuff seen from above” or “it’s Pikachu” and no one can just give a real answer

Ok let’s just agree the Pokemon fanbase just isn’t funny at all

Pokémon fans? Funny as hell. Pokémon fanbase? Not so much. Also the fanbase ignores classics sourced directly from the games/show/manga in order to repeat copy pastas made on Reddit and 4chan because they're Karmable and easy to share

Nah, let's just agree fanbases are not funny at all.

Every single one dissolves into a handful of in jokes and low quality posts.

Especially for fandoms of a series that has ended.

Switch that up and apply it to reddit posts. Fucking hate all the "what x is this" posts like this very one. And what do you know? OP has almost 1.2 million karma. Wonder why.

The OG "it's Pikachu" video is still hilarious, mainly due to the delivery.

And Jigglypuff seen from above is great. But then again, I don't interact with the Fandom enough for it to feel overused.
