"The photo was taken in late 2010's (2016-2017), way past pokemania. Considering the kid's age, which could've been 8-9 at a time and the fact that he is cosplaying as the original Kanto saga Ash, he is a fake fan and someone who will never be "one of us""
Basically gatkeeping an 8 year old child - the meme
