>>33494191As 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."
