It's like a bully who is in denial of their own homosexuality making fun of homosexuals who are happy with themselves.
Also because SM's jokes and visual gags are leagues ahead of any other Pokemon series, they're trying to twist a pro into a con, again, for more ammo.
"HAHA FUNNY MEME FACES XD" is the real forced meme, not the actual gags.
Prove me wrong.
