Popular Tropes & Fanon
Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta
Are You a Boy? Or Are You a Girl?
In Pokémon games after Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and before Pokémon Sun and Moon, the game's professor would ask whether the trainer was a boy or a girl. This effective, if clunky, method helped let the player choose their gender during the game's opening cut-scene. Despite this first appearing after Professor Oak's debut, he often got the brunt of jokes surrounding this feature online. While some memes and fancomics showed Professor Oak as completely clueless, other showed him as a pervert for asking.
My Grandson, What's His Name? Shithead?
In Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green, the player could name their rival, Blue Oak. Because Blue's kind of a dick, many players named him profanities like Shithead (or Shithed with the games' character limit.)
