The Brokemon meme is a humorous play on words combining the world-famous Pokémon franchise with the reality of being financially 'broke.' It typically features parody versions of classic monsters, low-budget cosplays, or relatable situations where a trainer's ambitions are thwarted by an empty wallet. Emerging from internet subcultures that love to satirize childhood nostalgia, the meme resonates with young adults facing economic challenges. It is widely used on social media to express the struggle of balancing expensive hobbies with limited funds, turning the 'Gotta catch 'em all' mantra into a comedic commentary on modern living costs.
