Make Kanto Great Again!

Fans of the Disney TV show Gravity Falls know Alex Hirsch as a great producer, voice actor, and animator, but apparently he’s also a talented Pokémon trainer and political-satirist!

According to Hirsch’s Twitter, he was watching the U.S. election news when inspiration hit… and comedy gold was struck:

▼ Charmander plus Bernie Sanders equals…

▼ And each Poké-President comes with its own types and attacks.
So is grandpa type weak to everything… or super effective against everything?

on the Muk and Donald Trump hybrid.

but Shmuck can just keep using Minimize until it disappears.

Need more election humor to stay sane? Check out what Korean people think of the presidential candidates, or see what our very own Mr. Sato looks like in his Donald Trump “cosplay.”
