I would ague this is almost a perfect comic

Did OP genuinely not think it was close enough to illicit the comparison that they needed to explain it?

I wouldn't have gotten it without the last panel. I know nothing about pokemon except memes.

I grew up with pokemon and I didn't get it until then. I watched the series before streaming so I never watched the beginning and the gameboy game is in vague memory (I had the gameboy color which had like 4 colors or something)

I've never played Pokemon, so, yes.

Was the explanation panel funny then?

What about a last panel with him fighting a turtle with his rat (yelling at the rat to do thunderbolt for all I care).

I didn't plan to sit down and write a literature analysis on the comic so I'm not sure. Your idea could work but it's a comic, it's not worth fighting over...

Maybe they just wanted an even number of panels! /j

Otherwise it would be odd
