However, Wurmple is fairly unique in that you never quite know what you’re going to get when you…

A Twitch Streamer Unearthed Cards From A Fake ’90s Pokémon Ripoff, And Fans Are Pretending The Series Was Real All Along

March 8, 2021Kotaku

There’s elaborate performance art, and then there’s what renowned Twitch jester Jerma did over the weekend.

They turned out to be something different: Grotto Beasts. Spoiler: Grotto Beasts is not and never has been a real series, but that hasn’t stopped Jerma’s community from taking the joke and running with it to the furthest ends of the internet.
