When Pokemon creeps into everyday life...

Do you ever find yourself making a random reference to Pokemon, or some other fandom, that would go over someone else's head? Or when you're doing something not related to video games and you just sort of say something random that has to do with a fandom? (although in the spirit of General Discussion, try to bring up Pokemon-related things primarily)

I was inspired to do this because I was cooking some gluten-free ravioli that I found at the Market Basket, and for some reason, I just sang out loud to myself, "I'm on the road to Obesity City..." (the old Viridian City song from the anime)

It came from seriously nowhere. Haha. I think when me and my sibling were quite young, we used to sing that and laugh, and it may have gone, "I'm on the road to Obesity City, I'm gonna grow bigger than a whale" or something like that.

Also, for some reason, at the gay pubs around here, it's very common when someone walks in for somebody to say, "Oh a wild _____ (name) appeared!" Even people who I don't think have ever played or watched Pokemon will say it.

On an unrelated-to-Pokemon note, a month or so ago my ex and I did one of those group adventure things where you try to find your way out of the room and, after trying everything to open the locked door, I just said "Alohomora?" and it opened. I was amused.

haha well in general fandom, I tend to do more video games than anything. for a while when I played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II I would for the longest time look up, see airplanes and immediately think about the UAV kill streak people would use, which I would tell my buddy I used to team up with on-line when we played lol. other than that, I will use the occasional meme of pokémon when texting with people who I know would get it lol

definitely my favorite one lol. and for tv shows, I've made Dr. Who references more often then not, though only a few people get them lol

EDIT: because adding pictures is not something I usually do right the first time lol

Yesterday I walked into university and found this:

I always love using the "A wild ___ appeared!" randomly when friends show up at a party or just sudden random occurrences that happen in my day-to-day life
