About
Brokemon, a portmanteau of "broken" and "Pokémon", is a participatory meme originating from /vp/ in which users will reconstruct Pokémon by rearranging their features.
Origin
On August 24th, 2019, an anonymous poster on 4chan[1] posted an image of an Anorith separated into many different pieces, writing "oh man oh man i dropped my pokemon, mom is gonna freak out, anon please help me put him back together?" (shown below). From there, posters in the thread reconstructed the Pokémon into various different creatures. The post would later break bump limit within a day, at 410 posts.
Precursor
On April 26th, 2017, Tumblr user Iguanamouth[5] posted an example of a "rebuilt" Wingull after other Tumblr users observed that the Pokémon looked cooler with less parts (shown below).
Spread
In the ensuing thread and others, users posted various re-imaginings using the Anorith template (examples shown below).
Posters would later perform similar reconstructions on various other Pokemon, including like Porygon2,[2] Vanillite,[3] and the Regi Trio.[4] These posts would result in dozens of edits of increasing complexity (examples shown below). The edits soon became a board-wide sensation.
