The Pokémon franchise has a long history of introducing fans to a seemingly endless variety of Pokémon species. These creatures capture people’s attention and often spur their imaginations in impressive and creative ways. One such way is by inspiring the creation of hilarious and outrageous memes.

Pokémon fans and meme creators have a knack for finding traits about certain Pokémon and using them as starting points for some truly funny memes. Often, a Pokémon’s type is the source of a joke. Grass-type Pokémon are known for having some inherently odd and humorous designs, so it only makes sense that many jokes would spawn from them.

10 When A Beloved Poképal Turns Traitor

A Pokémon Amoonguss and Among Us crossover meme

Popular games are regularly compared and combined in amusing ways, so it was only a matter of time before Pokémon was paired with the new and adored game, Among Us. What many people might not have expected is how perfect and hilarious the combination would be.

As luck would have it, the Grass-type Pokémon Amoonguss is perfectly named for the crossover. Plus, its body is similar enough to the characters from Among Us to warrant a near-perfect parody of both. The only question is, which one of these is the Ditto?

9 Turns Out, Rowlet Is Just Fashionable

Pokémon are (typically) very cute creatures. Their designs are meant to remind people of friendly and beloved real-world animals, albeit with a bit of fantasy thrown in. But, sometimes those adorable designs can be forever changed by a memer's simple modifications.

That's the case with this image of the Pokémon Rowlet. A simple removal of its feathers turns it from an adorable owl creature to a food product with a fashion sense. It's a clever Photoshop trick that should be done with a few other deserving Pokémon. It's also one of those cases of "I can't unsee."

As previously stated, one simple adjustment to a design can radically change how people feel about a Pokémon. Innocent-looking Grookey takes on an immense level of intimidation when something as simple as a rocket launcher is put in its hands. Perhaps this is meant to be the Pokémon version of "gorilla warfare."

The happy look on its face paired with the foreboding message turns Grookey from a simian companion to a monkey on the brink of a meltdown. The most important question is though, what reckless trainer thought it was a good idea to teach Grookey this move? "Razor Leaf" would have been enough.

7 Pokémon Evolutions Aren't Always Improvements

Charmander evolves into Charmeleon. That's a cool Pokémon. Squirtle evolves into Warturtle. That is also a cool Pokémon. Unfortunately, as is the case with Chespin evolving into Quilladin, not all evolutions lead to cooler-looking Pokémon. Too often, the complete opposite awaits trainers on the other side of the suspense-building transformation cutscene.

"Pinata" is a perfect description for Quilladin, which is a shame. Sure, it does eventually evolve into the intimidating Chesnaught, but Homer here is right to lament the inevitable need to keep candy-craving children away from his Quilladin until its next evolution.

6 Real-World Animals Inspire More In Pokémon Than We Thought

Pokémon fans are all aware that many Pokémon are based on real-world plants and animals. What they don't probably know is that nature is apparently aware of this fact and can provide us with easy ways to make fun of that fact.

Maybe someone was brave enough to coerce these wolves into taking this pose, or maybe they did on their own to confuse whoever it was that took the picture. Regardless, the simple addition of the names from the Bulbasaur evolution branch has turned this quirky picture into an example of life imitating the art that imitates life.

5 A Handy Guide For All Grass Type Fans

Players often need help from a guide as they make their ways through games, and Pokémon games are no different. So some gratitude is in order for the person who decided to create this summary of a few Grass-type Pokémon. And as the meme creator mentions, much of this guide honestly can be applied to the other Pokémon in the type grouping.

It's all here, from Pokémon that anyone would think is a Bug-type, to Grass-type starter Pokémon that few people ever choose at the beginning of a game. It's a reminder that sometimes all the variety found in the Pokémon species is not all that varied.

4 Some People Are Crazy Loyal To Their Favorite Starters

Maybe a lot of people like to skip the Grass-type starter for the fire or water ones, but there are others that will go to crazy lengths to defend their choices. Though, the hope is that they know not to go too crazy.

Joker and Murray seem to be in a heated debate over which starter is best. It's already clear that Chespin evolves into a pinata, but before it does, the choice to pick the Pokémon isn't a bad one. Fans all know how this argument ends in the Joker movie, but perhaps they'll sort things out with a Pokémon battle instead of the alternative.

3 It Ate Just One Too Many Rare Candies

Pokémon fans love making their favorite Pokémon, especially the ones they start their adventures with, become as strong as possible. They love knowing that nothing can challenge their prized partners. This can make clearing gyms easy and defeating random trainers a breeze, but an overpowered Pokémon won't know the difference between an opponent and a potential team member.

Catching new Pokémon becomes a player's greatest challenge when they've only leveled up one Pokémon. At that point, it becomes a matter of hoping they run into a wild Pokémon that has enough defense to withstand the onslaught.

2 A Truth That Introverts Are Proud Of

Lots of people are naturally shy and reclusive, but that doesn't mean they don't have a wide range of emotions or passions. They just have preferences of when and where they like to reveal them. And the memers understand this far too well.

This Pokémon-inspired visual guide into the world of introvert gamers sums things up beautifully. Many self-confessed introverts can attest to their "wild sides" coming out when playing games online. Place a controller between Venusaur's vines at the bottom of this chart, and you have a perfect match.

1 Way Too Accurate

Some memes like to call people out on a lack of cleanliness. They can be harsh warnings for everyone to do better, but at least they can also be funny reminders of the dumb things people have in common. It's just a shame that Celebi had to be the example.

The artists who created Celebi probably never envisioned this cautionary tale when they first submitted its design, but there's little chance that they could deny the resemblance. Hopefully, they aren't annoyed by the comparison and instead take it as a friendly reminder to clean out their refrigerators.
