A hilarious Pokémon meme pokes fun at the fact that the franchise's mammalian creatures lay eggs as if they were birds or reptiles. The beloved monster collection series' supernatural creatures are all extremely unique, with some being based on real animals while others are more otherworldly. However, all Pokémon hatch from eggs, which can seem very strange once carefully considered for a while.

The Pokémon series has assembled a large and loyal fanbase through the release of video games, films, animated television series, a trading card game and more. While the fantasy franchise is widely beloved, gamers sometimes use memes to poke fun at the more humorous or bizarre aspects of Nintendo's series. The Pokémon Company often maintains close communication with its fans, too, which allows the series' creator to play into fans' jokes and expectations. For example, a new animated Pokémon short film titled Bidoof's Big Stand was recently released on YouTube. The adorable and hilarious video is a reference to the Pokémon Brown Bidoof meme, which pokes fun at the harmless beaver Pokémon by exaggerating its power and popularity.

Created by Reddit user mehchinegun, a memetic Pokémon webcomic addresses the strange nature of Pokémon eggs. While it seems natural for the bird-like Talonflame to hatch from an egg, the method of reproduction does not fit with mammals like Growlithe. However, mehchinegun's meme also emphasizes the fact that Pokémon are fictional creatures and therefore can not actually be mammals. Reddit comments discussed the topic further, expressing that mammalian births in Pokémon would be uncomfortable and addressing the oddity of Ghost Pokémon hatching from eggs. The adorably funny comic can also be found on the creator's Instagram account, katalystcomics.

While katalystcomics' meme brings up one of the Pokémon franchise's humorous oddities, other fans use memes to address genuine issues with the series. For example, a perfect Pokémon game meme brings up several qualities that could create a flawless monster collection experience, including amazing graphics and the ability to encounter all 898 of the series' monsters. However, the final proposed element of the theoretical title would make the player's in-game rival actually pose a threat. This point suggests that the franchise's rivals have so far been weak and ineffective, poking fun at the franchise through humor.

Every Pokémon's use of eggs for reproduction may be strange, but the system fits well into the series' fantastical and child-friendly atmosphere. Still, it is funny to think of a mammalian Pokémon laying an egg, and katalystcomics' memetic comic clearly demonstrates the absurdity. Of course, as the artist points out, Pokémon are all supernatural creatures and therefore can not actually belong to the mammalian class.
