Have you seen the Alola form of Persian? He looks like a cartoon cat!

Cool story, pal.

Seriously though, don't just state your opinion about Alolan Persian, give us several good evidence that it's memetic popular.

I wouldn't make an entry on it just yet, seeing how it has not been officially revealed, and several people, like me, are trying to dodge the leaked pokedex, and the only other info we have is from an obscure book cover in japan that only people who frequent serebii would know about. Hell, that's the only reason I know why people are uppity about it (I couldn't care less myself, Persian is on of those pokemon I just had no feelings for)

We have plenty of people who don't know of it yet and would prefer not to know about it until GF puts it in a video (which in all likelyhood, might be in the 27th video) so I would say +1 wait on making the entry itself, but keep an eye on it. If it created this kind of response from a leak, the official reveal will probably be all over the internet.

Seeing this thread, i'll hijack it to avoid creating another one, topic is close enough:

Idea: What about the concept of Alola Forms in general as a meme? The topic of taking 2 fictional characters (and uncommonly, real people), one being the "normal" one and the other being an Alolan "counterpart", with some notorious changes but still sharing a base concept; or doing a new concept of a character, probably a pokemon, a specific instance of pokemon variants .

e.g.

TF2 Pyro to Overwatch Mei

Hotline Miami Richard to Pokemon Torchic

Canon Kanto Snorlax to fanmade Alola Snorlax

Then a different entry if an specific, confirmed canon Alola Form gains enought notoriety, gains its own entry (e.g. A-Exeggutor)

@Glacier I don't think it's big enough to be its own meme, maybe a subsection on the Sun Moon page (if it's not already there, I'm too scared to open it due to spoilers)

I don't really know about if it's memetic enough or anything, but whether or not it's been officially revealed, or that it's a leak/spoiler has nothing to do with whether it's worth making an entry about.

If enough people are talking about it in a way that is notable, someone should make an entry.

Alright, time for the not-so tl;dr version.

Ever since the leaks of the Alolan form of Persian, 4chan's /vp/ has been making numerous edits comparing to cat type cartoon characters, mostly Garfield. A Garfielf comic version was made, including a new sound version of Garfielf. But yeah, let's not rush into making a entry right away. But if we wait and let it have enough spread to go viral, it should get a entry.

really ? sounds so funny.
