The 'Who's That Pokémon' template originates from the legendary Pokémon animated series, which first premiered in 1997. The segment served as a commercial break bumper where a silhouette of a Pokémon would appear, accompanied by the iconic voice of the Narrator (Rodger Parsons) asking the titular question. Before the show resumed, the Pokémon would be revealed, and the characters, including Ash Ketchum (voiced by Veronica Taylor), would shout its name in unison. This format became a staple of 90s and 2000s childhood nostalgia. In the meme world, this template is the gold standard for reveals and subverting expectations. It is commonly used to build anticipation before showing a completely unrelated or cursed image instead of a Pokémon. It represents feelings of curiosity, playful mystery, and comedic shock. Whether it is identifying a blurry figure in the distance or mocking a pile of clothes that looks like a monster, this clip is the go-to for 'identity' based humor. Example caption ideas: 'Trying to identify the person waving at me from across the street,' 'When your bank account balance finally reveals itself,' and 'Me at 3 AM identifying the demon in the corner of my room.'
