At least, that’s what it seems like in an image that has gone viral: the Cat belonging to a Pokemon Go trainer is not happy with the arrival of a Charmeleon. Players of Pokemon Go are endowed with the power of augmented reality, which gives them the capacity to summon Pokemon to life and place them in the real world.
Not only can the tool provide fans of Pokemon with a preview of what each Pokémon might seem like in a real-world situation, but it also has the potential to produce some humorous photographs if utilized appropriately. The latter was, in fact, the case in a picture that went viral, in which a Go player’s Cat looked to have an issue with the trainer’s Charmeleon. The image depicted the interaction between the two.
The Cat is having some trouble with Charmeleon in Pokemon Go
A user who goes by the handle ‘liver blackbird’ released an augmented reality screenshot of the trainer’s Charmeleon in the real world on a popular post on the Pokemon Go subreddit. The trainer’s actual Cat is hissing close to the Charmeleon in the shot, and the photo shows the real Cat hissing right next to the Pokemon. A post on the subreddit titled “My cat doesn’t approve of my new pet” received over a thousand likes. Many users found humor in the situation, mocking both the cat and the Charmeleon.
One of the players of Go made a lighthearted comment that the Cat’s dissatisfaction may be related to the party hat that Charmeleon wears. The commentator said, “It’s because of [Charmeleon’s] party hat,” which explained the phenomenon. Another person mentioned that the Cat has to figure out how to get along with the charmed chameleon, saying, “But he must learn to accept his new brother.”
Even if the Cat may not be a Pokemon of the Fire-type fan, it may have to contend with many other possible ‘brothers’ in the future. After login troubles disrupted the last Squirtle Community Day Classic, Niantic scheduled a makeup date for the event, which means that the player’s Cat would likely encounter another Kanto starter.
