PhonÃ½mon	comment	As the single most successful multimedia franchise of all time, it goes without saying that the PokÃ©mon series has been parodied, homaged, and referenced in other works quite a bit. Most of these parodies, however, bear little actual resemblance to the franchise they are based on, and they are quite prone to Cowboy BeBop at His Computer. They tend to instead be general parodies of the concept of "Merchandise-Driven Gotta Catch Them All To Be a Master" Mons franchises from Japan that PokÃ©mon paved the way for, such as Digimon, Tamagotchi, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblade, Bakugan, and others of their nature. If a series — especially a Western series, as opposed to a Japanese one — includes a PokÃ©mon parody, certain elements are almost guaranteed to pop up: It may have a very nonsensical-sounding pseudo-Japanese name, often with the inevitable -mon suffix. There might be a reference to the Strictly Formula nature of the anime, with a Terrible Trio appearing Once an Episode only to be "blasted off" by the heroes. If a creature from the parody work is shown, it is quite likely to be an Expy of Pikachu, thanks to its massive popularity, and being the only PokÃ©mon that people who aren't fans of the series can usually name. If not, it will be one of either Charmander or Digimon's Agumon, a vaguely dinosaur/dragon-like creature with a fire motif. If the work is a Black Comedy or otherwise aimed at older audiences, you might get a reference to the infamous "seizure episode" Electric Soldier Porygon. Newer parodies might contain a reference to PokÃ©mon GO and its unexpectedly high popularity as a smartphone app. How the fans are portrayed usually depends on when the work came out. If it was made in The '90s, when PokÃ©mon first became popular, they'll be elementary school-aged children who obsess over the trading cards and TV show. If it was made later, especially in The New '10s, they'll either be somewhat creepy men in their 20s and 30s who hang around video game stores and comic conventions, or shallow, trend-hopping hipster millenials addicted to their smartphones after PokÃ©mon Go became popular. It's likely to be the basis for a Trend Aesop, with all the kiddies realizing how silly it was to get swept up in such a trite and silly thing, and moving on to more tried-and-true playtime activities. This was most common during PokÃ©mon's initial wave of popularity in the late 1990s and has seen a resurgence in the late 2010s with PokÃ©mon GO; most modern versions not involving PokÃ©mon GO are likely to be made by people who are fans themselves and are therefore less likely to be done in a negative light. As the last few points should indicate, this trope has evolved (pun unintended) ever since PokÃ©mon proved to be far more enduring than it was initially thought to be. Most parodies nowadays come from its Popularity Polynomial-inducing Periphery Demographic, and are as such far more affectionate. The classic version of this trope, which typically dismissed PokÃ©mon and others like it as a bizarre and ultimately insipid fad, is on its way out. Contrast All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles, which is the other way anime is usually depicted in Western media, though some overlap is possible. Compare Sailor Senshi Send-Up.

After the player throws an Oogonibomb in a similar fashion to throwing a PokÃ©ball, a Face Hugger-like creature hatches and grabs a host plush and impregnates it, before an actual monster hatches out of it. Interestingly, there were no references to the battling aspect of PokÃ©mon, as the main goal of the game seems to be breeding and collecting various Fiduspawn monsters.

PhonÃ½mon / int_8bf307b3	comment	Disney comics had multiple parodies of PokÃ©mon. A pair of interesting examples: Donald Duck and the Cicciomon Craze features Donald Duck trying desperately to make his nephews concentrate on their studies instead of playing with the new trend of Cicciomon games and cards. At the end he succeeds in his target by overloading them with gadgets until they're tired of them, only to discover that a full collection of Cicciomon cards is worth thousands of dollars a few minutes after throwing everything in the garbage. Battle Beasties is once again based around Huey, Dewey and Louie going after a new brand of collectible creatures, discovering that they're real and live in another dimension, and the franchise was created after a toymaker accidentally found a gate for their dimension. They open it and the Battle Beasties are soon spread around all Duckburg, starting a hunt to get all them back in their dimension. A sequel also exists, with a new batch of creatures coming out of the gate and being controlled by an evil scientist. Mickey Mouse and the Dark Matter Blot features an explicit PokÃ©mon GO parody called Mouseghost being vital to the main plot, as Goofy's obsession with it ends up being vital in foiling the Phantom Blot's latest ploy with a dark matter generator (which somehow makes creatures in the game run away from the place where it's located).

PhonÃ½mon / int_e8cd02cd	comment	Hypnospace Outlaw has SquisherZ, which basically is a cross between PokÃ©mon and Ghostbusters, and features Blob Monsters of various types. In keeping with the Retraux late '90s aesthetic of the game, it comes complete with a rap video. While you can't play the game itself, it's promoted heavily within Hypnospace, and there's even in-universe religious sites trying to claim it's Satanic, much like what happened with PokÃ©mon.

PhonÃ½mon / int_e9b0739d	comment	An episode of Angelo Rules had Angelo's younger brother Peter going crazy for the "Wiznimals" franchise, a mixture of PokÃ©mon and random Japanese culture tropes (clan wars with some characters changing factions multiple times and others fighting to protect their families are mentioned). The episode has Angelo trying desperately to kill Peter's obsession for them so that he will not be forced to take him to the Wiznimals convention the next day, but at the end, he surrenders and brings him to the con... only for Peter's best friend Cooper to come and tell him that Wiznimals are for dorks, convincing him instantly and making Angelo's tentatives worthless.

The 98th issue of the teen imprint, which was released around the time where PokÃ©mon GO was most popular, features a parody of that with Five Nights at Freddy's expies.

Strong Bad even describes the game as being "a cutesy Japanese-y game for little kids to play during recess, to make sure they don't get any real exercise."

He represents the "evils" of video game piracy. Additionally, protagonists Rom and Ram at one point are seen discussing a game called "Pocketed Monstrosities", which includes a character named "Eebee" (presumably based on Eevee).
