No, it is a fucking "meme," learn the definition of the word. "Shout-out" and "meme" are the same goddamn thing when referencing things like "LE EPIC OVER 9000!!!!!!!!" And there is a difference between good pop culture references that are done with taste and not shoved in the player's face at random stupid times (Fallout 1 & 2) and what Gamefreak did, which was shove stupid references in the player's face at irrelevant times that made no sense out of context and added nothing to the game, just so they could cash in their FREE EPIC COOL POINTS xD!!!!
