What Are You Doing, Pikachu?

What Are You Doing, Pikachu?

Want to know what Koffing is doing right at this very second? Follow him on Twitter. While you're at it, follow the other 492 Pokemon on the site, because they're all using it.

Regardless of your opinions on the social media phenomenon that is Charles Barkley [http://twitter.com/] one. There are plenty of people out there using the service wholly for comedy, and apparently 493 of them are into Pokemon, because there are, literally, that many accounts for that many Pokemon.

David Cole, a web designer from San Francisco and Professor Oak on Twitter, has compiled a database [http://www.davidcole.me/pokemon/] of all these accounts, organizing them by activity and whether or not they tweet "in character." Obviously, the ones in character are the funny ones.

What's Dugtrio [http://twitter.com/Koffing/], that weird Pokemon that's just three heads poking out of the ground? Seems that it's in need of booze money, and is taking commissions for earthquakes in order to fund its drinking.

Squirtle [http://twitter.com/squirtle], meanwhile, is writing haiku.

Squirtle, meanwhile, is writing haiku.
Squirtle, is probably the more intellectual one.
Squirtle, is still writing Haiku.

i am generally on the same boat as you with this one here. But this is very interesting and funny to see, 400 people acting as pokemon putting completely funny twitters of what their pokemon would do be doing at the moment. Well its witty to say the lease.

[SirSchmoopy]

[Jumplion]

OMG! Metapod says

"I don't care what anybody says Cloyster should have been cast as the new Doctor Who."

I really wish I cared about Twitter sooner.

 

[Evilbunny]

I'm confused but slightly aroused.

What's funny is the first 151 are all snatched up, but there seem to be gaps in the follow-up generations.

just goes to prove my generation of pokemon the ones i grew up with are still the greatest of them all. Huzah!!!
