There was a ridiculous amount of content shown for the upcoming expansion pass and of course, Twitter has gone wild with the best memes and comedic posts to express the fans’ excitement over all of the big Pokemon news.

Venasaur got bangs, Slowpoke got his tips frosted, and Garchomp is back to destroy everyone in online competitions. Check out the lovely posts from the Pokemon community down below and try not to giggle just a little bit:
