168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Gold and Silver came out almost 20 years ago, yet the games left a lasting impression that many fans still haven't forgotten. And how have fans shown their appreciation for the sequel to one of the most important video games of our generation? The way that all modern fans do: by creating a plethora of hilarious and obscure memes.
We've compiled a list of our favorites, which encompasses everything we love about Johto and its games: the Pokémon, the personalities, the places, the graphics, the legends, and of course the nostalgia. So turn that cap backward and rediscover everything you loved (and hated) about Generation Two.
10 🦩 🤡 Your Mother Will Spend All Your Money
Pokémon Gold and Silver were the first gam💃es to introduce cosmetics and they were... not great. No sane player would bother buying the oversized Snorlax, or Clefairy doll that serves no in-game function—but your mother would! She would buy literal garbage using your winnings and call you on the Pokégear to share the good news.
This meme from pokes fun at her mismanagement of your personal funds, flying away from your account like a Butterfree. Perhaps Gamefreak 🌄wanted to teach kids a lesson about financial responsibility.
9 T൩he Ice Path In IRL
We love this IRL meme by that accurately depicts what navigating Johto's Ice Path is like. In the video we see a woman slipping and sliding down an icy driveway during wintertime as her friend laughs at her misfortune to the tune of Taylor's Swift's "Trouble."
Rames, like many of us, probably spent too many hours trapped inside the cave, pushing around boulders into hܫoles without any success, randomly sliding across sheets of ice. 💜Yep, this meme knows Johto fans all too well.
8 🧔 The Final Batt🐲le At Mt. Silver

Red, the protagonist of generation one, stands atop the highest peak waiting to challenge . Gold's been training forever for this moment and it's finally here. He throws a Pokéball, Red throws his... and they get caught in a gust of wind and disappear from sight. The End. Cue the cute spinning Sentrets and marching Togepis!
We love the competing art styles the artist used, which tell two versions of the same story. It's a solid take on the expectation versus reality meme. Seriously! What did they think was going to happen?
7 Youngster Joey - Top P💞ercent

True fans will remember being called once or even twice a day by Youngster Joey. He had a resolute Rattata... just kidding. It was criminally weak. Nonetheless, even after you had bested the Elite Four, he would still call you to talk about his 🔯top percentage Rattata. Youngster Joey l🀅oved Rattata more than anything else in the world, despite your character stomping it numerous times.
In this clever and well-executed parody, the artist substituted the Lion's King's Rafiki for Joey, and Simba for Rattata. Unlike Simba though, it's doubtful any Pokémon would bow for this Normal-type.
6 👍 A Parade of Ice Pokémon
Remember when random encounters were the norm of every Pokémon game? If you're one of those players that never purchased any Repels as a kid, this meme's for you. Imagine trying to navigate a puzzle of Zelda-like complexity while hordes of like Golbat, Delibird, and Jynx keep appearing. That was also the Ice Path.
Through the magic of terrible video editing, has turned an energetic dance crew into a stampede of rowdy Ice Pokémon. The result is hilarious, although maybe too real for some fans. Still, wasn't that theme music good?
5 Chikorita's The Worst Starter
Many players agree that Chikorita is the worst starter of Generation Two. It has a type disadvantage against the first two Gyms: one Gust from Faulkner's Pidgeotto will KO your leafy pal, and Razor Leaf will do nothing to Bugsy's Scyther. Evolution can't help it either: Meganium has the weakest stats of the three starter's final evolutions.
As the meme posted by Reddit User shows, the daring trainer that chooses Chikorita will run into many dea♔d ends. By contrast, choosing Cyndaquil🥀 or Totodile is like playing the game on easy mode. Sad but true.
4 🌠The Bad News 𝓡

Kids on their first play-through of Gold and Silver had their minds blown when they found out that the Elite Four wasn't the end of their journey. It was just the beginning. All of Kanto, including an updated story and suite of Gym Leaders, awaited your character.
This meme from captures the pivotal moment when Elm tells Gold he's not done yet. Sure, as the player you were excited for Kanto. But for Gold? Well, let's just say Gold had a bad day.
3 Goldenrod City Theme's Generational Divide
Pokémon fans, like , have strong opinions about remakes. He used a popular Simpson's GIF to illustrate how some players prefer the old Goldenrod City theme over the new one from HeartGold and SoulSilver. The meme pokes fun at the idea that young people don't know what good music is, and gives a backhanded compliment to older fans of the original theme. We think it's hilarious to present the new theme as edgy and cool. Upbeat? Yes. A musical magnet for renegade youth? Probably not.
2 🌳 The Legendary Doges

Before Sword and Shield introduced Zacian and Zamazenta, Johto had three —at least that's what fans remember. Though they are officially called , this older meme by Reddit User runs with the canine characterization.
By shrinking Raikou, Entei, and Suicune into lovable, domesticated doge form, our 10-year-old selves feel at ease. We remember the struggle of loadiಌng up on defunct Fast Balls, accidentally knocking out one of the trio, restarting the game, and repeating until nausea set in. But as doges, they hardly seem capable of causing all that frustration.
1 Whitney's Miltank
Many fans still assert that , the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City, was the hardest opponent they ever fought. Fans have made nightmarish memes of Whitney defeating Red on top of Mount Silver, portrayed her Miltank as ♔pure evil, and even 🍸redrawn the Pokémon rippling with muscles.
Whether you believe the hype or not, this meme is part of Pokémon history. Was the milk cow Pokémon really that powerful? She never had to be. She just had to be p💖owerful enough to beat our 10-year-old selves to inspire the legacy.
