Ranking Every Pokemon Parody

[@peternguyen7530]

Not gonna lie, the Johnny Test segment brings back memories, but the parodies portraying parents not understanding why kids enjoy the Pokémon franchise sounds like the most boomer thing I've ever heard, hence why this trope is tired, as there are adults who are fans of Pokémon nowadays.

[@dannyemory6261]

You got that right. I'm 33 years old now, and I still play Pokémon. That franchise is my die-hard favorite anyway! ❤

[@Vivian-eo3qc]

didn't mention that screechereen is a friendship evolution which imo is the best part

[@someoneawesome8717]

It was a Friendship evolution Gyrados basically!

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Mymuttdog and Imhisdad the classics.

[@dannyemory6261]

Don't forget their evolution forms: Dukandra and Dadoomerang! 😎

[@Deoxy360]

Hopefully there is a part 2. Because Everybody Loves Raymond did an interesting Pokemon parody back then the day.

[@sovi1156]

i was hoping i'd see it here

[@dannyemory6261]

I also want to see him reviewing one of the Press Start Adventures episode called 'Poker, mon', where it introduced a Pokémon-inspired card game called 'Jackamo.'

[@UnkillableMrStake]

I see Screechereen I click video is as simple as that

[@PaulApollo]

Fun fact about Big City Greens: One of the storyboard artists for the show, Kiana Mai, is a huge fan of Pokémon - and even a bigger fan of Team Rocket! Her love for Pokémon really shines through with the episodes she had worked on.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Ninja Turtles is interesting because ninjas are well known to be a Japanese character archetype with a cultural origin. But since they’re usually drummed up to be pizza dudes from NYC sewers nobody cared? Or ninjas were always cool? Cause they ought to have been.

[@davidwitos3989]

Funny thing is Johnny's dad not getting Tinymon makes sense because he's kind of a dick and is refusing to understand Johnny

Big city greens (Galaxu)

[@j.corbygaming]

Johnny test did it best.

[@newtbrooks6734]

It’s a Pokémon reference

[@ivychase3889]

Honestly, while I get the adults not getting it is a tired trope, as someone who hid my interest in Pokemon because my family would make fun of it every time it came up, it also kind of feels nice to feel like it wasnt something just I had to deal with.

[@marialash4925]

I can mimic Pokémon, my favourite one to copy is Pikachu, "Pika!"

[@dannyemory6261]

I think I can also do a Wobbuffet impression? "WOBBUFFET!" 😖

[@marisolramirez9591]

It's not in the video because it's in a video game but Sims 4 has it's own Pokémon reference with Void Critters which is the in universe version of Pokémon they are collectable cards and have an item that is used to play with the cards. There's even beds that are themed around it and posters which makes it feel like a popular franchise in universe. It's a really cute little reference that fits into the world of the game

[@dr.crazystein9536]

If they're Monster Hunter parodies in tv shows and movies, that will be even more chaotic than those Pokemon Parodies

[@awesomeobject5851]

These are going to be some interesting takes

[@luccafilms2859]

Your forgetting the best parody Pokemon: Shoe.

[@dannyemory6261]

That would be one of those Chinpokomons, right? Not sure why they would make a shoe, a monster anyway? 🤔👞

[@Oceane1803]

Funny that you posted that, lately I've been vaguely remembering a Pokémon parody that I found a long time ago and liked a lot. But I can't even remember its exact name. All I can seem to remember is that they had original designs for the creatures and were summoned by cards. And maybe it was animated. Sadly a lot of Pokémon parodies are like that, and it wasn't any of the ones mentioned in this video. However, maybe it wasn't actually animated, and it's the Pokémon parody I read a long time ago from the french "Mickey's Journal" (I swear to god if anybody replies with "Oui Oui Baguette or anything like that...) But I have a lot of issues of those, and I have no idea in which one(s) it was, so I have a lot of digging to do. And heck, that parody may not even be the one I vaguely remember, so now I would have two Pokémon parodies that I vaguely remember. I also remember that the name may have been something like "Catchimals" or something (I searchesd that specific name but to no avail). Basically a pun with the word animals and the fact that they're collectable. But once again, all of this is very blurry, and I can't confirm what is really a part of that parody or not.

[@djriolu234]

Not only that, there’s also Johnnymon Go on the Netflix exclusive Johnny Test based off of…you guessed it…”Pokémon Go.”

[@endergeo116]

Can we just appreciate the fact that South park made a joke about Inanimate object Pokemon like Shoe, XD Also I'm surprised you didn't mention how Screecherene from Johnny test wasn't a parody of SHADOW Lugia specifically

[@madnessarcade7447]

Tinymon is my favorite one hot take

[@JeremyIbironke]

"There are actually two Johnny Test episodes that parody Pokemon." Me: "About that..." (There's a netflix adaption that's also a parody)

[@someoneawesome8717]

8:58 it was also a Magikarp reference which I thought was pretty cool

[@dannyemory6261]

Don't forget about Press Start Adventures, where they introduced a Pokémon-inspired card game called...JACKAMO! I would love to see you rank something like that, though.

[@jeromefournier9667]

You know what annoys me in these parody... the "anime" character design... half the time they use a dragon quest MC or other fantasy character design, even at the start Pokemon/Digimon used sporty/trendy children designs. Like look at the Galaxu MC, he's from some martial art battle anime not a Pokemon/Digimon parody and the one from Jhony Quest is literaly a dragon quest MC.

[@Unimportant]

Squisherz are really cool! Squisherz are so much fun!

[@wilkmarton]

One thing I always remember is when the episode Pokemon Double Trouble (where Orange gym leader Luana mistakes Ash for her son) aired on UK TV, and the continuity announcer said, "Next up is an episode where a Pokemon trainer thinks she's Ash's mother. Like anyone's mother knows anything about Pokemon."

[@Xiaolin-Loonatic]

NGL, Johnny Test had the best parodies. Leave it to an actual Kid's WB show to parody an anime that station formerly aired, alongside another classic dubbed by 4kids: Yu-Gi-Oh. Also, gotta love that Tinymon got the GO treatment in the 2021 reboot (And by GO, I mean Pokemon GO.).

[@genericscreenname13]

I'm actually the prop designer on Big City Greens and we had so much fun when we worked on the Galaxu episode. Almost everybody on our crew is obsessed with pokémon, and if you look closely at some of the props in the Galaxu episode we snuck in a ton of jokes references and one code. Throughout the rest of season 4 you will occasionally see little pokémon references in the backgrounds too.

[@lightcreed962]

The Pokèmon Parody in South Park was so funny especially when they were in class speaking japanese

[@evanmaus4794]

For the fantasy novel, I'm currently working there is a Pokemon parody called dungeon tamers or dungeonmon basically Pokemon mixed with dragon quest. It felt fitting as it's set during the anime boom of the 2000s

[@BallonAnimal]

Enjoyed the format change :)

[@jensrettberg7968]

Love BCG, it's most times wholesome and with a positive outlook from the children, either they are just simple fun or have simple nice messages. It's not edgy, nasty or the characters too mean to each other.

[@keithshaughnessy1730]

I call every Skarmory I catch Roostore because of South Park still to this day.

[@garg4531]

Oh my god I actually recognized one of them in the thumbnail! Part of my childhood

[@angelotheclown1004]

I agree with your rankings but I think your being a bit to critical because you gotta take it from parents back in the day they didn't understand anything back so of course some parodies would make fun of stuff and that includes pokemon so some of your critiques are a bit dumb

[@slateportraichu5416]

Thank you for showing these parodies- I had a good time=) Wishing you a wonderful week=)

[@kaibadlover]

If you're gonna do a pt2 of this then you should also check the reboot version of Johnny test since they also made a parody of Pokemon albeit its quite boomer and when comparing it's a downgrade imo but still

[@jesusmanuel-c3q]

I don't think he understands how South Park works. 😂 they were making fun of how Americans see Japan not making fun of Japan. (They were specifically making fun of adults and parents with their unfounded fears about popular media that kids get into.) That South Park parody is a 10/10 in my book.

[@ultrawinggaming9764]

Ahh. The Johnny test segment surely brings back memories. I do find it odd that the show has weridly consistent continuity for a kids show. Like the Handheld the titular character is playing tinymon on in the second tinymon episode is the same handheld he was obsessed over getting his hands on in a previous episode

[@amarthtyapippo6833]

Supernoobs has a reference too in the episode Noobs Just Wanna Have Fun. And guess what Supernoobs and Johnny Test is created by the same person so he's a Pokémon fan.

[@samakafrisco1759]

In defense of the Johnny test episodes, Johnny’s dad is an absolute boomer in every episode, so him not understanding Pokémon isn’t really out of character for him.
