NBA Teams Get Bizarre with 'NBA Pokemon' Meme

Once again, social media teams around the NBA are passing the idle time with Photoshop tinkering.

This time, the subject matter is every 20-something's favorite childhood money drain game: Pokemon.

You know the drill. Each team competes to come up with the best remix of the meme at hand, and the winner gets a hearty slap on the back and a six-pack of kudos.

Here are some of the best "NBA Pokemon" to date.

Leading us off is the Utah Jazz's submission of "Carrick Felickitung," which you can never un-see now.

The Philadelphia 76ers might've won the day with "Embiidrill."

They also gave us "Luc Richard Mbah a Mewtwo."

Professor Oak definitely breached the Hippocratic Oath developing "Chanmander."

To be fair, "Charmanderson Varejao" is just as disconcerting. 

"Dante Exeggutor" is now something that exists in your subconscious.

"GeoThatDude": weak against bratwurst, strong in the clutch. 

Last, but not least, there is "Enes Haunter." You're going to need all the melatonin to sleep tonight.

Now that we're all feeling sufficiently nostalgic, I think I'll go dig my gray and purple Game Boy out of storage. It's a five-pound plastic chunk of mobile fun!
