Where the who is that pokemon meme comes from
The Who s That Pokemon? segment was a recurring feature in the original Pokemon anime that aired in Japan starting in 1997 and reached Western audiences in 1998. Each episode showed a Pokemon in silhouette before a commercial break, and the internet repurposed this format for any blurred or obscured reveal.

Best uses for the who is that pokemon template
Use the who is that pokemon template when the joke fits a gaming and anime format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for gaming sessions, fandom jokes, and high-energy reactions.
This blank is 620 x 463 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The wide frame works best when the caption stays centered so timeline crops do not cut off the joke.
The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.
Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Who's that Pokemon? ...It's the one coworker who replies to every email in under 30 seconds | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Who's that Pokemon? ...It's the friend who says 'I'm 5 minutes away' from their own house | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Who's that Pokemon? ...It's you, at 2am, googling symptoms you definitely don't have | This is a useful direction when you want the punchline to feel personal or self-aware. |
Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the who is that pokemon image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
