Origin:
A user on 4chan posted the “I’m not gonna Richu a love song” macro to /b/ in mid 2009.

About

Poképuns is a fun little time-waster on /b/ in the same vein as Guess The Meme, where the peanut gallery has to guess what the macro ‘says’ from a cleverly placed Pokemon replacing words in the middle of a random phrase.

ForExample: This pokemon’s name is Raichu (pronounced RICHOO), and the sentence they are using is “I’m not going to Write you a love song”. so they can replace write you with Raichu because they sound the same making this:


Coincidentally, this was the first instance of the meme.

These definitely only make sense to those who actually know their names.

I have a question about it. I remember seeing it on 4chan. To me, it’s definitely memetic but do you know if the “pun” thing didn’t expand itself to images with something else than pokemons ?

Another article that should be worked on for more info. People should really start reworking on their past articles so they can get confirmed quicker and Submissions can become smaller. Burger King’s grip on the last 5 pages is too much for me to take. Anyways, I think Pokepuns is a great meme worth confirming.

+1 Work on it

It’s a meme. Just fix some spelling mistakes, such as richu should be raichu. Other than that, perfection.

know the history of this meme.

In 2008 an anonymous user on 4chans /b/ Posted a thread using Riachu as the image and text was “I’m not going to Raichu a love song” and then the OP posted a picture of ash and text was “Cause you ash for it” This thread gathered only a few replies. The next day I decided I would copypasta it seeing that I thought it was funny. So I did and added a part after the ash picture, a picture of nidoran and the text was “cause you nidoran” In that thread people started coming up with their own pokepuns and whatnot. I have no evidence for this claim other than my word. IDK look it up in the archives or something.

That’s not a Pokepun.
