Hello!

In the Wikipedia article it says that Pokethulhu is a parody of the
Pokemon Jr. Adventure Game (and of Coc, of course). Isn't that
awfully restrictive? The similarities between Pokethulhu and the PJAG
are easily explained (both are small-footprint RPGs modeling an, ahem,
--- very similar setting) and there are a lot of things Pokethulhu
does differently (like allowing PCs to have, gasp!, statistics).

And did the PJAG ever gain enough notoriety to be a target of a
parody? To my knowledge it was stillborn, which is a shame, come to
think of it, because it could have drawn in a whole new generation of
RPG custom^H^H^H^H^H^H^H players.

But mainly, I've always thought Pokethulhu to be a parody of the whole
Pokemon shebang, Gameboy, TV series, TCG, what-have-you, (and of CoC,
of course --- no, wait, of everything Lovecraftian really, but CoC
embraces everything Lovecraftian after all).

So what is Pokethulhu a parody of?
