The Pokemon Sun and Moon Cover Parodies emerged following the 2016 announcement of the seventh generation of Pokemon games. Fans were instantly captivated by the distinct contrast between the solar lion Solgaleo and the lunar bat Lunala, leading to an explosion of fan-made box art replacing the legendaries with contrasting pop culture figures. Common variations include characters like Danny DeVito, various anime protagonists, or even simple objects that humorously fit the celestial themes. The meme thrives on the 'dual version' marketing strategy of the Pokemon franchise, allowing users to poke fun at the similarities or differences between two distinct entities or personalities.
