The Simpsons Parody Pokémon GO & Anime Theme Song

The Simpsons, FOX’s long-running animated comedy series, has again poked fun at Pokémon in a new segment that featured Lisa and Homer as anime-inspired versions of themselves walking in what appears to be Pokémon GO while singing to the tune of the original anime’s theme song.

Do you think they did a good job? Or was South Park’s Chinpokomon superior?

  1. Why the fuck does the art from Pokemon Shuffle actually give Incineroar better body proportions than literally 70% of everything else portraying it does?

  2. Bulbapedia actually gave me proof to why Flygon is the way it is
    “In keeping with its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragon-like build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail.” (Direct words of Bulbapedia)

    And don’t bring Yanmega or Charizard into this! Cause if Goodra can get Dragon, Flygon can get Dragon

  3. If they can stretch types so much, was it THAT hard to make Xurkitree Electric/Grass? It’s moves mainly come from those types

          • That’s not how that move works tho, literally everything else that gets it is tree based

          • Because there’s no move called ”grounded electricity” you have to make the connection yourself.

          • They Could’ve made one? Also, if that’s the case, why has no other electric type got it?

          • I might be spewing bullshit but the electricity wouldn’t even be natural it’d be from wires and shit

          • It’s honestly a weird pokemon. Maybe the ground in ultra space has “natural electricity” in it

          • ever hear the phrase grounded?
            Electricity is always flowing in the earth’s crust and it travels downward

          • 1) Its from Ultra Space not earth

            2) Only lightning would be a natural source of that if you’re not just spewing bs, and I doubt that’d feed Xurkitree populations

          • OMFG DOES IT MATTER
            IT STILL LOOKS FOR ELECTRICITY AND IS SENSING IT IN THE GROUND AND IT IS STICKING ITSELF IN THE GROUND TO FIND IT

          • You’re trying to exclude the fact that GF might have used existing logic to justify the existence of Xurkitree lol, why?

          • The whole point of this comment was to say would it be so wrong to make it Electric/Grass compared to other type convos

          • I think pure electric is fine, dont see the logic behind giving it grass because it knows Ingrain.

          • I mean it also gets a few other moves
            I mean it fits the type better than any other mon we got

          • Because literally everything else that has it is plant based, even if they’re not grass type. In the meanwhile, nothing else gets it for this proposed reason Xurkitree gets it

          • Im not excluding it, I’m just saying that they could easily just say shit like that

            It could be based on that, but it can literally be based on anything because ultra space is unexplored territorh

          • I’ve heard of magnetic fields and stuff, but this seems more like xurkitree is sucking electricity from the ground, which I can’t find anything on when it comes to Earth.

          • It still seems like a stretch to me, but xurkitree is an alien so I’ll write it off I guess

          • Look….it is a scientific fact that the Earth’s crust holds electrical currents as a sink, perhaps Xurk’s ability to sense and extract the electricity is stronger then your giving it credit

            i’m just trying to justify why it knows ingrain and why its not a grass type

          • Earthen stfu you probably heard it once and remember it as a factoid and if pushed to say more about it you’d stumble and fall

          • Earthen, without using Google, can you explain what an

            Isomer is
            Polymer is
            Monomer is
            What is meant by biodiversity
            How much chambers are in a frog heart
            What is meant by species richness
            What the functions of each vitamin is
            What the difference between saturated and unsaturated cat is on a chemical level

            All of which I do understand and have learned from Biology and Chemistry, two sciences then shut your face ass

          • Theoretically, could it be absorbed? I know we’re dealing with fictional beings, but I imagine it’s a different type of electricity than what ice crystals and water droplets in the sky generate

          • Xurkitree’s dex entry says that it plugs its limbs into the ground to sustain itself with electricity, so in this case yes it can be absorbed

          • And other electric types suck electricity too but don’t get it

          • Power whip, energy ball
            I mean, it would make more sense than some other mon type combos

          • I mean WTF people complain about a lot of Pokemon, but Dunsparce being Normal makes 0% sense it has

            No logic, no reasoning, no origins towards it! Nothing relates it to that!

          • its doing that with electricity you dumbass

            “Because this Ultra Beast reportedly raided a power plant, it is speculated to sustain itself with electricity. This is supported by observations that it will “plug” its limbs and tail into the ground when it is low on energy, entering a tree-like state to absorb electricity from the earth. Witnesses claim that its entire body crackles with astonishing electrical power”

          • Because there aren’t any electric types who sustain themselves that way? Most generate static electricty by rubbing their cheeks or pom-poms, wings whatever

          • Electivire line

            And they made a separate ability for Bruxish and Tsareena, I’m sure they could give Xurkitree an electric Ingrain

          • Exactly, why Ingrain then?

            Hell even Leech Life makes more sense

          • well to be fair they do raid any source of electricity
            the reason why Xurk got ingrain is very much explained

          • Joltik needs a living host to generate electricty because its too small to do it by its own

          • Because it’s based off of bamboo and already has two fitting types

            Xurkitre is the only monotype of the seven invading ultra beasts

          • Yet… yet Bamboo is a type of plant, but I already know Celesteelia’s origins so i won’t argue its type

      • I know, but considering the fact nintendo stretches types, was it so hard to stretch this one?

        Reply
    • Grass might not work because there’s no grass in Ultra Space. In Xurkitree’s natural environment, it probably just plugs itself into the rocky landscape there. I might be stretching though.

      Reply
      • I mean… If they can stretch other mons then Xurk could work
        Your explanation does seem pretty logical though

        Reply
          • That’s not the point, he was just proving Ultron that there could be Grass in the Ultra Space because there’s a Grass type In it

          • Yet he tries to prove you wrong even though it’s recommended to analyze carefully the foe’s argument to find a flaw in it and counter it

          • the laws of Ultra Space are highly unknown
            saying that it cannot support these types is very much untrue, for all we know Ultra Space has enviroments very similar to earth and has been sustaining the Ultra Beasts since the beginning of time

            as i state the laws of Ultra Space are very much unknown

  4. At people who can’t get it through their skulls

    Were not saying Flygon’s dragon makes no sense, we’re saying Bug makes more sense because it’s a literal insect

    Blame GameFreak for literally making a ‘selective arthropod type’

  5. My friend: You really only pick grass types huh?
    Me: No I don’t! I always loved water ones! I only liked for grass Venusaur, Sceptile (As much as Swampert), Serperior (As much as Samurott), Chesnaught and Decidue…. wait… fuck… I gotta start picking more types….

    I feel like Fire will end up being a Bipedal Fire/Ground Snake.. cause Pokemon :3

  7. You’ve probably heard about this, but I’ll mention it anyway. Apparently, people have found some sort of evidence for a direct next week. That’d be perfect timing for Pokemon, so who knows. Though it could be nothing.

  8. So…. another starter trio

    Grass/Electric sloth based on that one extinct one
    Fire/Ground Bipedal Rattlesnake. Uses tail as a whip
    Water/Ghost box Jellyfish, known for its ability to phase in and out of vision in order to confuse its foes before striking them with its fatal touch

    Any objections?

    Reply
        • Nice, although I do have concerns about your jelly being similar to jellicent. But that could be avoided. I am curious what the electric typing has to do with a sloth though

          Reply
          • You could combine it with something to justify the electric? “Its massive claws are metallic and when waved around, they act as lightning rods. _____ is able to supercharge its oily fur with static from lightning bolts, acting as a gigantic battery pack. It can direct this stored power through its claws at will, or crash into foes with a shocking force.”

            HA: Lightning Rod

          • That would be c…
            Wait…
            4x resistant… with lightning ro….
            (Sceptile noises are heard in the background)

          • which is electric why again
            i mean the Grass part is easy since some Sloths grow mold on them since they’re so damn slow
            but the electric is just forced

          • Blehhhhhhhhhh and it was something about prehistoric sloths?

            i’m already doing that
            Slowth and Tremensloth

          • Personally I think grass/ground works better, but I’ll let him have his dream

            I like slowth

          • Dreams are meant to be smashed

            And Slowth was just a pitiful crank out but i’m making it work, my first gym leader Caleb uses both lines

            What do you think of my rodent
            Opossos and Opasson
            both Possums that when it evolves it becomes and Normal/ghost type

          • I like the idea of a possum pokemon. And are you playing on the idea of possums playing dead with the ghost type

          • yes
            Opossos’ are timid and meek, so they feign death all the time to fool predators, but when they evolved they still had their pulse off and now they’re kinda in a state where their heart beats once every ten minutes but astonishingly alive
            but honestly as for ghost moves just Astonish, Shadow Sneak and Shadow claw, it can learn Shadow ball by TM and Hex by breeding but not too much since its just the rodent

          • What about it being a spirit that just uses the possums body as a meat suit. So it “playing dead” is just the spirit deserting the body for a while.

    • -why electric tho……
      – sounds better off as a pure ground pokemon i think you can do better
      – Frillish rippoff

  9. Make three starters up on the spot

    I’ll say it again for those of us who can’t read. on the spot, no premades.

    Only need basis, type, and why that type

    Reply
    • a Grass Stegosuarus with a fern back
      fiery Bear warrior
      Water elephant that can spit water from trunk

      Reply
          • (you know i’m dyslexic right)
            Because as it grows the foresty backside allows it to blend in, and it absorbs sunlight for energy and it has a armored head

            It has a pugnacious attitude and needs to burn excessive fire energy it constantly produces

            and it can store up to ten gallons of water in its trunk and blast it with enough force to bend or cut steel

          • No, because you have literally never mentioned it before (as long as I’ve been here)

          • and i’m thinking along the lines of
            herbisaur (Herbivore and Saur)
            Burnzerker (Burn and Berzerker)
            Hydraphant (Hydro/Hydrant and Elephant)

          • Late but why not Bearzerk(er) for the bear? Sounds more natural imo and you don’t have to reference the starters type in the name

    • Okay! Here goes!

      Grass/Electric Cow (WHAT THE FUCK WENT THROUGH MY HEAD FOR THIS ONE!?)
      Fire/Bug Scarab
      Water/Ghost Angler Fish

      First things that came to my head

      Reply
    • Water/Fighting: Box jellyfish. Supercharges its tentacles with poison that pack quite the punch. Victims that survive describe it as a cross between an electric shock and a scorching burn.

      Fire/electric: Ram. This pokemon must ram its large horns into objects to charge the battery stored within its head. Not doing so can cause it great pain. Because of this, _______ is very quick and aggressive, always looking to smash things with its head to prevent injury.

      Grass/Flying: Fruit bat/sugar glider hybrid. Always on the lookout for berries and other fruit, ____ is known to be greedy. It hordes anything it can get its hands on, and loves hiding berries in its pouch for in-flight snacks.

      Grass/Flying Peacock with a bulb for a butt

    • Grass/Dark kiwi kiwi. It remains cute thoroughout its evo line, tricking predators into thinking it’s a fruit before attacking viciously.

      Fire newt, which is covered in a substance it secretes that allows it to dwell in lava. Becomes a giant salamander, with a molten lava pattern on its body.

      Water/Ghost dolphin. Becomes an orca, and it uses a special type of echolocation that reveals the souls of allies and prey. Another one of its kind is usually the main source of the bodyless souls it can sense.

        • Nope, just follow the path in my directions. It should be a little southeast of the stable overall though. You’ll pass a bridge, and it’s actually surrounded by small mountains, so you won’t see it from far away. Just keep to the path.
