Smogon/YMMV

• Memetic Mutation / Fountain of Memes: The community has developed many in-jokes over time. See the main Pokémon meme page.
  • One of the more recent ones is that Colossoil, a community-created Pokémon in the form of a well-over-eight-feet-tall black narwhal with an ability called Rebound, is good at basketball.
  • Metang@
  • After a Pokemon Online moderator named Somalia lost to a Jellicent with Energy Ball and thus proceeded to use his moderator privileges to systematically rageban all members of the Smogon PO server and subsequently was banned, Energy Ball Jellicent has become a regular sight.
• "Stop Having Fun!" Guys: As mentioned above, mostly averted. A diverse metagame is outright encouraged by the suspect test process. They don't have much of a tolerance for Scrubs, though.
  • Fan Dumb: Oh God. The more elitist Smogonites are constantly at war with Karenites^[1]

1. ↑ Karen is the Elite Four trainer that says, "Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best," which is a philosophy Smogon disagrees with.
