The Pokémon Typhlosion has become a pariah on the internet

Game Freak, the main studio behind Pokémon, suffered a massive data breach. The hacker released thousands of files supposedly related to the creation and development of Pokémon, containing unpublished concept art and even scrapped ideas for Pokémon games, and this is where the Typhlosion drama comes into play.

According to an unconfirmed report, the leaked documents contained a concept for a series of fabulous stories exploring the relationships between Pokémon and humans. In one of these stories, a Typhlosion kidnaps a young girl, marries her, and has a child with her. The story reads like something out of Grimm’s fairy tales or a myth and managed to terrify a lot of people. Over the past three days, the story has inspired hundreds of people online to create Typhlosion memes and art in response to the story.

There are dozens of posts, but many of the gags poke fun at the fact that Typhlosion is now viewed as a creep by the fandom. Additionally, many images suggest that Typhlosion is now part of an elite tier of Pokémon that fans see as potentially fuckable. (So ​​now Vaporeon and Gardevoir have extra company.) You can keep scrolling to see how many people have created reaction images to the leak.

The jokes may be funny, but it’s important to note that this leak hasn’t even been confirmed yet. The claim was widely shared on Centro Leaks, but the viral post does not say who found the document or how they translated it. If someone were to use software like Google Translate, the English version of the story might be full of errors. Furthermore, there is very little context as to what the original intent behind the stories was. The tweets don’t say whether it was intended for a game or used as a backstory or anything along those lines. While it may seem a bit salacious, it may be wise to take the leak with a grain of salt.
