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?
▼ It’s hard to tell where the hair begins and the sludge ends
on the Muk and Donald Trump hybrid.
▼ That’s a pretty big weakness,
but Shmuck can just keep using Minimize until it disappears.
▼ Diglett plus Marco Rubio. He’s not even part ground-type anymore…
the sweat just washed it all away.
▼ So this is what happened to Ash’s Butterfree after he let it go….
▼ To be fair, electric is super effective against flying….
▼ Ben Carson just catching some Zs as Snorlax.
▼ Yeowch! We’re going to need some burn heal
for that evolution zing, stat!
▼ And finally, a bonus Hypno/Ted Cruz combo
by Gravity Falls artist Dana Terrace.
▼ HypnoCruz OP vs. female Pokémon! Nerf please!
Unfortunately even though the Twitter masses have been clamoring for more, Alex Hirsch hasn’t made any new Poké-Presidents yet. In the meantime though, we’ll help keep everyone satiated with our favorite reply from the Twitter comments:
