The 'Pokemon According to My Dad' meme is a relatable internet trope that pokes fun at the older generation's tendency to call every single Pocket Monster by the franchise's mascot name, Pikachu. This gag usually features a grid of diverse creatures—from the legendary Mewtwo to the tiny Oddish—all labeled with the exact same name. It captures the universal experience of gamers trying to explain the complexity of the series to parents who see it all as 'that yellow rat game.' The meme has evolved to include various versions including 'Pokemon According to My Mom' or 'My Non-Gamer Friend,' serving as a humorous bridge between dedicated fanbases and the general public's simplified view of pop culture phenomena.
