About

Pokeparents (also knowed as Pokedads) is an Advice Dog-style image macro series with an image of a Pokémon. The images are stereotiped with a type of parent, family member or friend. For example, the Blastoise macros are about an awesome dad, or the Ninetails macros are about a MILF mom.

Origin

The Pokeparents images began with a 4chan thread called Pokedads ^[1], where the OP said that his only friend was a Blastoise, and the people start to say “If Blastoise was my dad…”. Finally, an user post an advice dog style image with the head of a Blastoise, with the caption “Stick with me, kid / I’ll protect you”

Spread

In the same thread, another user put a template of the Charizard Dad, that was an oposite of Blastoise Dad. More templates appeared, like the Venusar Dad or the Mudkip Dad.

The same day, another thread was created ^[2], where the people create more templates and more roles.
