My secret to remember then is to have children.
Memes
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I'm not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster...
With enough women, it's possible.

Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
They are all called Pikachu.
Edit: per my grandmama
Wrong. They're all pokey man.
I still have an easier time remembering all the original pokemon than I do the periodic table of elements.
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen, and oxygen, and nitrogen, and rhenium...
I only ever knew the first 151 anyway.
Oh yeah, name 151 pokemon
takes a deep breath

Pants, out of breath
Ok, now in Pokerap order!
- Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran♂, Mankey, Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey, Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly, Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree, Venomoth, Poliwag, Nidorino, Golduck, Ivysaur, Grimer, Victreebel, Moltres, Nidoking, Farfetch'd, Abra, Jigglypuff, Kingler, Rhyhorn, Clefable, Wigglytuff

- Alakazam, Doduo, Venonat, Machoke, Kangaskhan, Hypno, Electabuzz, Flareon, Blastoise, Poliwhirl, Oddish, Drowzee, Raichu, Nidoqueen, Bellsprout, Starmie, Metapod, Marowak, Kakuna, Clefairy, Dodrio, Seadra, Vileplume, Krabby, Lickitung, Tauros, Weedle, Nidoran♀, Machop, Shellder, Porygon, Hitmonchan

I noticed while making this list that Lickitung was incorrectly spelled "LIKITUNG" on the third day.
Edit: Also, for Nidoran♂ vs Nidoran♀ you have to look at the picture to distinguish since they just say "Nidoran" but they do say it twice!
There's 150 or more to see, to be the pokemon master that's my destiny
That's pretty good! But... that's only 147. :-)
Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂ are separate and you're missing Nidorina, Nidoqueen, and also Rhydon.
Some other corrections:
- Pigeotto -> Pidgeotto
- Ninetails -> Ninetales
- Diglit -> Diglett
- Primape -> Primeape
- Duouo -> Doduo
- Cloysyer -> Cloyster
- Ghastly -> Gastly
- Electrabuzz -> Electabuzz
- Gyrados -> Gyarados
- Omantyte -> Omanyte
- Arodactyl -> Aerodactyl
(Yes, I looked it up. No, I have no life. :p)
Cheers!
i can remember all of them from when i was a kid, but that number has since tripled. if i was a kid now i don't think i would be able to learn all of them in the first place!
Triple isn't that bad. I knew 151 and then the main ones from the next few games (and didn't learn all the names, I don't remember any of the middle evolutions) but there are 1025 now
It's a shame they didn't clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.
Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they've been coming up with.
Dear Mr. President:
There are too many Pokemon. Please eliminate 500. I am not a crackpot.
Bulbasaur - Onion turtle
Geodude - Punchy rock
Meowth - That cat with the long-ass arms
I can still remember the gen 1 starting pokemon, anyway.
Let's see, there's Squirdis, Barbarasoar, uh... Chortle? Oh no
If I need to say the names of the pokemons I'll forget something like Tangela, but if I see the image of the pokémon I can remember the name. Things get fuzzy at the same time that I stop watching the anime.
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey. Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey.
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly
Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree
It's the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it's pure chaos.
ah yes
the original 151
with such treasures of creative genius as purple rat
another rat
and my personal favorite
some eggs
Don’t forget blackface thing mon
I've heard it argued that Jynx was a parody of Harajuku fashion, which really only kicks the racism down one more step
No... The original is not debatable if you know how racist Japanese artists depict black people.
That's just some weeb cope and as you mention even then it isn't even good at it.
Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.
Don't forget purple snake and purple toxic ball
Even Ash couldn't pass the identification test and he still managed to become a master.
Don't worry trainer, you can always get back together in a big ol' group of all your friends and between everyone we'll be able to figure out all their names. :)
A big group of friends? What kind of fucking fantasy land are you living in?
