Their faces are pretty neutral in a bestial kind of way, letting us impress our own dopey interpretations on them. Legendaries before and since have clearly tended towards a single facial expression, except for a few of them like mew.

hoenn confirmed would be an oras meme since it was always said in reference to remakes

Hence the current Sinnoh confirmed trend

Not really, if anything ORAS marked the death of the meme.
Anyway, my main point was that Hoenn Confirmed existed long before ORAS' announcement, and would still have been a meme if ORAS never came to exist.

Later generations have been blatantly rehashing the trio dynamic they started, but more overdesigned and with more abstract concepts.

Stil, the only trio with abstract themes is the Gen 5 trio. The others really aren't.

FTFY

To answer that, I suppose because gen 3 was hated for a long-ass time. People eventually started making memes to show how bad/stupid it was, which ironically ended up boosting its popularity instead. Things exploded when "Hoenn confurrmd" and finally ORAS hype season were dominating the board.

Time and space isn't that abstract.
As for the lake guardians they're a lesser trio, a trope that predates the Weather trio and not what we're discussing here.

Time and space aren't really abstract even if they're not tangible things. It's just that gen 4 mainline games were complete fucking shit in demonstrating what Dialga and Palkia are supposed to represent.

Not that guy, but fire is a concept as in we can create a mental notion of what fire is defined as and what an ideal and/or archetypal fire is, but fire is also physical. The thing that makes fire non-abstract is that it is not exclusively conceptual.
Similarly, space is not exclusively conceptual; it is the entire physical realm in which we actually live. It can be applied abstractly, but time and space as they apply to Gen 4 legendaries are their literal forms.
A nebulous thing to be the god of, but I would not go as far to say abstract.

Neither of those are universally recognized memes though, only if you're really poke-savvy. I forgot them because they were much less impressive, for lack of a better term. Also, I guarantee you nobody said hoenn confirmed before HGSS. Gen 3 was well past irrelevant by that point.

There are other things that could be said like Gardevoir being a porn magnet and Brendan's hat/hair but I like to think there's still a fine line between memes and other fandom-related jokes.

The first three gens were only the span of 92 to 02

As others have said. Rise of the internet age was during gen 3 period. But even so, every gen seems to have it's staple meme.

Gen 1 it's everything because every schmoe knows it.

Gen 2 would probably be the legendary beast or Youngster Joey and his top percentage Rattata. Although, nowadays people like to quote Golder.

Gen 4 is anything involving Arceus.

Gen 5 is just a war about the designs.

Gen 6 is anything to do with Greninja, to his jobbing in the league, Sakurai nerfs, etc.

Gen 7 so far seems to be the "Get in the bag, Nebby."
